SoilPlastic

I-SoilPlastic isinika sonke ithuba lokufaka isandla ocwaningweni olubalulekile mayelana nomthelela wepulasitiki empilweni yenhlabathi yezolimo.
Ipulasitiki ibe yinto ewusizo embonini yokulima eminyakeni yamuva, futhi ibonakala ngokwezinga elithile emisebenzini eminingi eyenziwa abalimi. Lokhu kusetshenziswa, nokho, kuholele emfucumfucwini wepulasitiki emasimini. Lawa mapulasitiki ahlukana abe amapulasitiki ‘amancane’ kanye ‘nano’, amancane ngokwanele ukuba angadliwa yizinhlobo eziningi zezilwane zasendle. Bangakwazi futhi ukungena ezitshalweni, okuthinta ukukhula kwazo kanye nempilo yonke.
Izingozi zokuba nalawa mapulasitiki emikhakheni sezihlolisisiwe, njengoba ososayensi bathola ukuthi amazinga aphezulu e-microplastics angaholela ekushintsheni kwendlela umhlabathi osebenza ngayo. Lokhu kubalulekile njengoba ngaphezu kwama-90% okukhiqizwa kokudla kwethu kuncike emhlabathini. Ipulasitiki iphinde yatholakala ithinta ukuhamba kwamabhayisikili okunomsoco, ukukhula kwezitshalo, kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo. Okwamanje asazi ukuthi le mithelela isibize ini. Ngaphandle kwamapulasitiki angena emasimini ethu, kukhona nezibulala-zinambuzane, imithi yezilwane kanye nezithasiselo zepulasitiki (isb., Udayi). Okwamanje asikazi ukuthi lawa amanye amakhemikhali ahlangana kanjani namapulasitiki.
Ngaphakathi kwephrojekthi yocwaningo ye-EU MINAGRIS (https://www.minagris.eu/) lezi zindlela zokusebenzisana ziyahlolwa futhi zibhalwe phansi. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza /'SoilPlastic' lugqugquzela futhi lubandakanye ababambiqhaza abahlukahlukene ukuthi bafake isandla kule nqubo ngokubheka kanye nokubhala phansi izinsalela zepulasitiki/ukulahlwa kwenhlabathi nasemhlabeni, ukuthumela okuqukethwe okungaziwa kusizindalwazi somhlaba wonke.
I-MINAGRIS (https://www.minagris.eu/), iphrojekthi yocwaningo exhaswe yi-EU, yakha ukuqonda komthelela wamapulasitiki endaweni ezungezile, kanye nendlela amanye amakhemikhali asebenzisana ngayo nalawa mapulasitiki.
Lolu hlelo lokusebenza, i-SoilPlastic, lukunika ithuba lokufaka isandla kulolu cwaningo olubalulekile. Ungabuka futhi ubhale phansi amapulasitiki enhlabathini yezolimo. Lezi ziphakamiso ngeke zidalulwe futhi zizosisiza ukuthi sibone ukuthi ingakanani ipulasitiki ekhona emapulazini. Ngakho-ke ngokuzayo uma usohambweni, kungani ungalayishi noma imaphi amapulasitiki owabonayo?

Uhlelo lokusebenza lusebenza ku-SPOTTERON Citizen Science Platform ku-www.spotteron.net
