I-Environmental Working Group incoma ngokumelene nokusebenzisa ifloss yamazinyo eyenziwe nge-PTFE.Leli qembu lithi “Ukuchayeka kuma-PFC kuye kwahlotshaniswa nomdlavuza wezinso namasende, icholesterol ephezulu, amazinga angavamile e-hormone yegilo, umfutho wegazi ophakeme obangelwa ukukhulelwa kanye ne-preeclampsia, ukukhuluphala kanye nesisindo sokuzalwa esiphansi ....Ama-PFC angcolisa amanzi, ayaphikelela emvelweni futhi ahlala emzimbeni iminyaka.Abakhiqizi abahamba phambili bama-PFC bavumile ukuqeda amanye ala makhemikhali ekupheleni kuka-2015, okuhlanganisa ne-PFOA, eyaziwa kakhulu, eyayiyisithako esiyinhloko ekwenzeni i-polymer.Ngeshwa, abukho ubufakazi bokuthi amakhemikhali athathe indawo ye-PFOA aphephe kakhulu. ”
Sekungamashumi eminyaka odokotela bamazinyo besitshela ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwefloss yamazinyo kususa i-plaque, into efana nejeli eyenziwe ngamagciwane akha phakathi naphakathi kwamazinyo, kanye nangaphansi komugqa wezinsini.Kucatshangwa ukuthi kuyingxenye ebalulekile yesimiso sethu sokuhlanzeka kwamazinyo ngoba ukuxubha okuvamile akulisusi lonke i-plaque.Futhi uma ingasuswa, iyaqina futhi ingabangela i-gingivitis noma ukuvuvukala kwezinsini.Ekugcineni, izinsini ziqala ukuhlukana namazinyo, zenze “amaphakethe” angase abe negciwane, agcine ecekele phansi amathambo futhi aphume amazinyo.I-flossing iphazamisa amagciwane, iwamise ngaphambi kokuthi akhe uqweqwe.Ucwaningo oluhlukahlukene lubonise ukuthi, ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa amazinyo, isifo sezinsini siyingozi enkulu yezinkinga ze-Alzheimer kanye nenkumbulo.
Kodwa-ke, kusanda kuvela ukungabaza mayelana nokuba usizo kokucwenga kwamazinyo ukuze kususwe ngempumelelo i-plaque.Uphenyo lwango-2015 olwenziwa yinhlangano yezindaba i-Associated Press (AP) lubandakanya izicelo zeNkululeko Yolwazi kuMnyango Wezempilo Nezinsizakalo Zabantu wase-US (HHS) ecela ucwaningo oluholela esincomweni sawo esivuna ukufloss.I-HHS yabe isilahla iseluleko buthule, kanti I-Public Health England nayo ithe izobuyekeza eyayo isiqondiso mayelana nokufloss.Encwadini ayibhalele i-AP, uhulumeni wase-US uvumile ukuthi ukusebenza kahle kwe-flossing akukaze kwenziwe ucwaningo.Lokho kubonakala kungelona iqiniso ngokuphelele, ngoba i-AP ibheke izifundo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu iqhathanisa inhlanganisela yezixubho ezihlukahlukene kanye nefloss futhi yathola ukuthi ubufakazi bokushaywa kwefloss “bubuthakathaka, abuthembeki kakhulu,” bekhwalithi “ephansi kakhulu” futhi buphethe “okulinganiselayo. emandleni amakhulu okuchema.”
Ngisho noma unquma ukuqhubeka nokucwebezela okwamanje, ulungile ukubuza ukuthi yiluphi uhlobo lwefloss okufanele ulusebenzise, kokubili impilo yakho kanye neyemvelo kanye nayo yonke impucuko.
Enye ifloss yamazinyo yenziwa inayiloni, ucu lokwenziwa olutholakala emikhiqizweni ye-petroleum.I-Petroleum iwumthombo ongasimeme, ukumba nokukhiqizwa kwawo okube nomthelela omkhulu olimazayo emhlabathini, emanzini angaphansi komhlaba, emanzini angaphezulu, kanye nemvelo.Inayiloni ithatha cishe iminyaka engamashumi amahlanu ukubhidlika endaweni ezungezile, futhi ifloss elahliwe (ikakhulukazi lapho iphonswa endlini yangasese) ingavala indle, ingcolise amachibi, futhi ilimaze izilwane zasendle.I-floss ivame ukugcotshwa nge-wax esekelwe ku-petroleum.Abantu baseMelika bathenga i-dental floss yamamayela angaphezu kwezigidi ezintathu njalo ngonyaka, ngakho-ke lokhu kuwumonakalo omkhulu.
I-floss eyenziwe nge-polytetrafluoroethylene (I-PTFE) iya ngokuya iduma - futhi idayiswa emahhovisi amazinyo ukuze inikezwe amakhasimende.Abantu abaningi bayayithanda ngoba ayidabuki futhi kulula “ukushibilika” phakathi kwamazinyo aqinile futhi eduze kwezisekelo.
Ezinye izithako zingaba ama-flavour nezithasiselo ezihluka kumenzi futhi zingafaka i-fluoride.Isifinyezo selungelo elilodwa lobunikazi befloss yamazinyo sifundeka kanje: “I-Porous, high strength (PTFE) dental floss igcotshwe nge-micro-crystalline wax.Uma uthanda, ifloss ingase futhi ihlanganise isilawuli se-tartar esisodwa noma ngaphezulu, izinqamuli, i-antiplaque kanye/noma izinto ezilwa namagciwane kanye/noma izinto ezamukelekayo emazinyweni ezifana nokupholisha nokuhubhuka, izinto ezipholile, izithambisi kanye/noma ama-coagulant.”
Konke lokho kungaba yinkinga empilweni yethu, kodwa i-PTFE iyinkinga enkulu, ngombono wami.Iphinde futhi inikeze ukunameka ku-cookware engagxili, ngaphansi kwegama layo lokuhweba le-DuPont polymer.Nakuba ukukhathazeka okukhulu nge-polymer kube ukukhishwa kobuthi lapho i-cookware ishisa ngokweqile, ikhemikhali esetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni kwayo, ebizwa nge-perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), idala ezinye izinkinga.I-PTFE ingeyesigaba samakhemikhali e-perfluoro (PFCs), asephenduke ukungcola komhlaba wonke ngesikhathi esifushane.Ziye zatholakala emadolobheni ethu, eziqhingini ezikude, emahlathini nasezifundeni ezisezindaweni ezishisayo, zibonakala emanzini okuphuza nasezilwaneni zasendle.
Ucwaningo lubonisa nokuthi cishe bonke abantu, kungakhathaliseki ubudala, banama-PFC athile egazini labo.Atholakale kumasampula obisi lwebele lomuntu, nasegazini lezingane ezisanda kuzalwa.
