FAHAMU VIPODOZI VYENYE KEMIKALI ZA SUMU

Maisha ya binadamu yamekuwa yakizungukwa na vitu vingi sana, baadhi ya vitu hivyo ni muhimu sana katika maisha yetu kiasi kwamba huenda isipite siku hata moja bila kutumia vitu hivyo japo kwa upande wa pili vitu hivyo vimekuwa vikiathiri afya zetu kwa kiasi kikubwa bila sisi kujijua, moja kati ya vitu hivyo ni VIPODOZI.

Kutokana na utafiti uliofanywa na Mamlaka ya chakula, dawa na vipodozi nchini (TFDA) umegundua kwamba kuna vipodozi vilivyoingia sokoni huku vikiwa vimesheheni viambata ambavyo ni sumu na hatari kwa matumizi ya mwili wa binadamu, viambata hivyo ni kama ifuatavyo:-

1. Bithionol 2.Hexachlorophene 3. Mercury compounds 4. Vinylchloride 5. Zirconium containing complexes in aerosol products  6. Halogenated salicylanilides (di-,tri-metabromsalan  and tetrachlorosalicynilide) 7. Chloroquinone and its derivatives 8. Steroids in any proportions 9. Chloroform 10. Chlofluorocarbon propellants (fully halogenated chlorofluoroalkanes) in cosmetic aerosol products 11. Methyelene chloride

Viambata hivi vinaweza kusababisha Athari nyingi sana za kiafya (hutegemea na aina ya kiambata kilichomo kwenye kipodozi), kwa ujumla baadhi ya athari hizo ni pamoja na  uharibifu wa mfumo wa uzazi, akili, ukuaji, mkojo (figo), mfumo wa chakula, mfumo wa akili, pia husababisha saratani za ngozi na damu, athma, aleji za ngozi n.k

Unawezaje kugundua uwepo wa Viambata hivyo kwenye Kipodozi chako?

Unaweza kugundua uwepo wa viambata hivyo kwenye kipodozi chako kwa kuangalia viambata (ingredients) vilivyoorodheshwa kwenye kopo, boksi au karatasi iliyo ndani ya boksi la kipodozi.

Baada ya utafiti huo TFDA imepiga marufuku usambazaji na matumizi ya vipodozi vyote vilivyosheheni viambata vya sumu kwa Watanzania, vifuatavyo ni baadhi ya Vipodozi vyenye  viambata vya sumu:

Tunapaswa tuwe waangalifu sana katika matumizi ya vipodozi kwa kuchunguza uwepo wa viambata vya sumu, kukagua terehe ya mwisho wa matumizi ya kipodozi na kuepuka matumizi ya vipodozi vilivyopigwa marufuku kwa matumizi ya binadamu ili kujikinga na madhara ya kiafya!!!!
