I-California imemezele ngoLwesibili ukuthi icubungula ukuthi abakhiqizi bamathayi bafunde izindlela zokususa i-zinc emikhiqizweni yabo ngoba ucwaningo selukhombisile ukuthi amaminerali asetshenziswa ukuqinisa injoloba angalimaza imigudu yamanzi.
I-ejensi ithe esitatimendeni ukuthi uMnyango Wokulawulwa Kwezinto Ezinobuthi woMkhandlu Kahulumeni uzoqala ukulungisa “imibhalo yezobuchwepheshe ezokhishwa entwasahlobo” futhi ufune imibono yomphakathi neyemboni ngaphambi kokunquma ukuthi uzoyisungula yini imithetho emisha.
Okukhathazayo wukuthi i-zinc esezinyathelweni zamathayi izogezela emiseleni yamanzi emvula bese igoqwa emifuleni, emachibini nasemifudlaneni, idale umonakalo ezinhlanzini nezinye izilwane zasendle.
I-California Stormwater Quality Association (California Stormwater Quality Association) icele umnyango ukuthi uthathe isinyathelo sokwengeza amathayi aqukethe i-zinc ohlwini lwesifundazwe lwe-“Safer Consumer Products Regulations” ohlwini lomkhiqizo olubalulekile.
Ngokwesizindalwazi senhlangano, le nhlangano yakhiwe yizinhlangano zikahulumeni, zezifundazwe nezendawo, izifunda zesikole, izinsiza zamanzi, namadolobha angaphezu kuka-180 kanye nezifunda ezingu-23 ezilawula amanzi angcolile.
"I-Zinc inobuthi ezinto eziphilayo zasemanzini futhi itholakale emazingeni aphezulu emanzini amaningi," kusho uMeredith Williams, umqondisi woMnyango Wokulawulwa Kwezinto Eziwubuthi esitatimendeni."Isikhungo esilawula izikhukhula sinikeza isizathu esinamandla sokufunda izindlela zokulawula."
I-American Tire Manufacturers Association ithe i-zinc oxide idlala “indima ebalulekile nengenakushintshwa” ekwenzeni amathayi akwazi ukuthwala isisindo futhi apake ngokuphepha.
“Abakhiqizi bahlole izinhlobonhlobo zamanye ama-metal oxide ukuze babuyisele noma banciphise ukusetshenziswa kwe-zinc, kodwa abayitholanga enye indlela ephephile.Uma i-zinc oxide ingasetshenziswa, amathayi ngeke ahlangabezane nezindinganiso zokuphepha zikahulumeni.”
Le nhlangano iphinde yathi ukufaka amathayi aqukethe i-zinc ohlwini lombuso “ngeke kufeze inhloso yayo” ngoba amathayi ngokuvamile aqukethe i-zinc engaphansi kuka-10% endaweni, kanti eminye imithombo ye-zinc ilinganiselwa ku-75%.
Lapho le nhlangano ikhuthaza “ukubambisana, indlela ephelele” yokuxazulula le nkinga, yathi: “Izinc itholakala ngokwemvelo endaweni ezungezile futhi ifakwe emikhiqizweni eminingi, kuhlanganise nezinsimbi, umanyolo, upende, amabhethri, amabhuleki namathayi.”
