Gxila “Ekungcoliseni Komoya Wasendlini” kanye Nezempilo Yezingane!Singakwazi kanjani ukulawula?

Ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho inkomba yekhwalithi yomoya ingeyinhle, futhi isimo sezulu sibi kakhulu, umnyango wezingane ezilaliswa esibhedlela ugcwele abantu, izinsana kanyeizingane zikhwehlela njalo, nefasitela lokwelashwa kwe-nebulization esibhedlela lihlala ligcwele abantu.
Ngaphezu kwezici ezibalulekile zokungazweli kahle kwezingane, izingozi zokungcoliswa komoya azinakuzitshwa.

Embikweni wocwaningo oluthi “Izingozi Zomoya” okhishwe yi-UNICEF, kushiwo ngokucacile ukuthi ukungcoliswa komoya kuzoba enye yezinsongo ezibulalayo empilweni enempilo yezingane kuze kube manje.“Ukungcoliswa Komoya kanye Nempilo Yezingane – Imfuneko Yomoya Ohlanzekile” umbiko wenhlolovo oshicilelwe yi-WHO.
Umbiko uveze ukuthi izinga lomoya ongaphakathi endlini lidale umonakalo omkhulu empilweni enempilo yezingane.Emhlabeni wonke, ama-93% ezingane manje ahlala endaweni lapho izinga lokungcoliswa komoya liphezulu kunezinga le-WHO.

1. Kungani izingane zisengozini kangaka ezingozini zeukungcoliswa komoya?

ULake, umqondisi omkhulu we-UNICEF, wathi: “Ukungcoliswa komoya akuvimbi nje kuphela ukukhula nokukhula kwamaphaphu ezinsana nezingane ezincane, kodwa futhi kubangela ukulimala okuhlala njalo ebuchosheni, okulingana nokubulala ikusasa labantu abaningi.”Kwabasha Abantu abafana nezingane, abesifazane abakhulelwe, asebekhulile, kanye nabantu abanemithethosisekelo ebuthakathaka basengozini enkulu yokulimala kwekhwalithi yomoya wasendlini.Izizathu ezenza izingane zibe sengozini enkulu yokulimala komoya yilezi:

• 1. Izinga lokuphefumula kwezingane liphakeme ngo-50% kunelabantu abadala, ngakho-ke bazohogela inani elikhulu lokungcola komoya ngesikhathi esifanayo.
• 2. Izingane zisakhula, futhi ukuzivikela komzimba namasosha omzimba akukavuthwa.
• 3. Izinga lomoya wasendlini liyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu kunokungcola kwangaphandle, futhi izingane zichitha isikhathi esiningi zihlala endlini.
• 4. Imithombo eminingi yokungcoliswa komoya egumbini isindayo kunomoya, futhi izocwila ifike kubude obungamamitha angu-1.2 ukusuka phezu komgwaqo.Izingane zifushane ngomzimba futhi ziba yizinto zomonakalo oqondile.

2. Kuyingozi kangakanani ukungcoliswa komoya ezinganeni?

• Kungenzeka ukuthi kubangele izifo zamasosha omzimba

Ucwaningo lwezokwelapha luye lwaqinisekisa ukuthi ukungcoliswa kwemvelo kuye kwaba imbangela eyinhloko yezifo zegazi zezingane.Ikakhulukazi emhlobiso wasekhaya wokungcoliswa kwe-formaldehyde, owaziwa kabanzi namuhla, kuye kwaba nezimo eziningi kakhulu ezijwayelekile zokuxwayisa abantu ukuthi izinga lomoya wasendlini liyingozi empilweni yabantu, ikakhulukazi izingane.

• Khulisa izehlakalo zokuphefumulaizifo ezinganeni nasebancane

Ucwaningo lwesayensi olufanelekile luphethe ngokuthi izigameko zepheshana lokuphefumula ziphakeme izikhathi ezingu-1.6 kuya kwezingu-5.3 ezinganeni ezisezindaweni ezingcolile kunezindawo ezihlukile.Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili esihlokweni, umthamo ojwayelekile wokuphefumula wezingane uphakeme ngo-50% kunowabantu abadala.Ngakho-ke, lapho inani elikhulu lokungcola komoya lingena emgudwini wokuphefumula wezingane, kungenzeka ukuthi kubangele izifo ezinzima noma ezingapheli zokuphefumula ezinganeni.

3. Konakalisa ukukhula okuvamile nokuthuthuka kobude benetha yezingane

Nakuba lungekho ucwaningo oluqondile olubonisa ukuthi, uma kuqhathaniswa nabantu abadala, izingane zisesimweni esibucayi futhi esikhulayo, futhi uhlaka lwamathambo omuntu nawo luyafana.Ukuphefumula okuvamile okuhlala isikhathi eside komoya ongcolile ngeke nje kubangele izifo ezihlukahlukene, kodwa futhi kuthinte ukuthuthukiswa kwemisebenzi ehlukahlukene yomzimba wezingane, ngaleyo ndlela kuthinte ukukhula okuvamile nokuthuthukiswa kokuphakama.

4. Konakalisa ukukhula kobuchopho bezingane

Ukungcola kungathinta isimiso sezinzwa esimaphakathi sezingane, kubangele isiyezi, ikhanda elibuhlungu, ukukhathala, ukuntuleka kwamandla, nokuncipha kokuxhumana kokusebenza kwesimiso sezinzwa.
Ucwaningo olwenziwa yi-Harvard University luthole ukuthi inqobo nje uma ubuchopho bezingane buthinteka ekungcolisweni komoya ngesikhathi sokukhula, ukukhula kwemizwa yobuchopho kuyoncipha, futhi ubuhlakani buyophazamiseka.Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukulimala kokungcoliswa komoya ku-IQ yengane kubangelwa phakathi nokukhulelwa kukamama.

Ucwaningo olwenziwa yiChildren's Health Centre of Columbia University luthole ukuthi ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, uma indawo lapho ukungcoliswa komoya kubi kakhulu, ubuhlakani bengane buyoba ngaphansi ngamaphuzu ama-4 kuya kwayi-5 lapho iqala isikole ineminyaka emihlanu.
