UMikhal Marek Apple ngokombiko I-ejensi ye-AP imemezele ukuthi ivimbele ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezimbili ezingaba yingozi - i-benzene ne-n-hexane - ezimbonini ezakha ama-iPhone nama-iPads. I-Benzene ibonakala inemiphumela ye-carcinogenic lapho ingaphathwa kahle, i-n-hexane ivame ukuhlotshaniswa nezifo zezinzwa. Zombili lezi zinto zivame ukusetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni njengama-ejenti okuhlanza kanye nama-thiners.
Isinqumo sokuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kwalezi zinto ezinqubweni zokukhiqiza ze-Apple sikhishwe ezinyangeni ezi-5 ngemuva kokuba iqembu lezishoshovu zaseShayina liphikisana nabo. China Labour Watch kanye nenhlangano yaseMelika I-Green America. La maqembu amabili abe esebhala incwadi yezikhalazo ecela inkampani yezobuchwepheshe yaseCupertino ukuthi isuse i-benzene ne-n-hexane emafekthri.
U-Apple wabe esephendula ngophenyo lwezinyanga ezine lwamafekthri ahlukene angu-22 futhi abutholanga ubufakazi bokuthi ingqikithi yabasebenzi abangu-500 balezi zimboni babesengozini nganoma iyiphi indlela ibenzene noma i-n-hexane. Ezine kulawa mafekthri zabonisa ukuba khona “kwamanani amukelekayo” alezi zinto, futhi ezimbonini ezingu-000 ezisele kuthiwa azikho nhlobo izinsalela zamakhemikhali ayingozi.
I-Apple nokho yakhipha ukuvinjelwa kokusetshenziswa kwe-benzene ne-n-hexane ekukhiqizeni noma yimiphi imikhiqizo yayo, okungukuthi, ama-iPhone, ama-iPad, ama-Mac, ama-iPod nazo zonke izesekeli. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izimboni kuzodingeka ziqinise izilawuli futhi zihlole zonke izinto ezisetshenzisiwe ukuthi zikhona yini lezi zinto ezimbili eziboshiwe. Ngale ndlela, i-Apple ifuna ukuvimbela izinto eziyingozi ukuthi zingangeni ezintweni eziyisisekelo noma izingxenye ngisho nangaphambi kokuba zingene ezimbonini ezinkulu.
U-Lisa Jackson, inhloko yezindaba zemvelo kwa-Apple, utshele izintatheli ukuthi ufuna ukubhekana nakho konke okumkhathazayo futhi aqede zonke izinsongo zamakhemikhali. “Sicabanga ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi sihole futhi sibheke ikusasa ngokuzama ukusebenzisa amakhemikhali aluhlaza,” kusho uJackson.
Kunjalo, i-benzene noma i-n-hexane ayizinto ezisetshenziswa kuphela ezinqubweni zokukhiqiza ze-Apple. Zonke izinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe zibhekene nokugxekwa okufanayo okuvela kwizishoshovu zezemvelo. Amanani amancane e-benzene nawo angatholakala, isibonelo, kuphethiloli, ugwayi, opende noma iglue.
