• 1. I-asbestosis
• 2. Umdlavuza wamaphaphu
• 3. I-Mesothelioma

I-Asbestos, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-asbestos, yiqembu lamaminerali akhiwa yimicu emincane eyayisetshenziswa kakhulu ezintweni zokwakha ezahlukahlukene, ikakhulukazi ophahleni, phansi nokwehlukaniswa kwezindlu.

Kodwa-ke, eminyakeni yamuva nje, kutholakele ukuthi le micu ingakhishelwa kalula emoyeni ngokuguga kwezinto, okwenza ukuthi zifune ukuphefumula. Lapho le micu ifinyelela emaphashini idala ukulimala okuncane okwandisa ubungozi bezifo ezinkulu zokuphefumula ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Ngakho-ke, izinto ezenziwe nge-asbestos zikhishiwe ekwakhiweni, zikhona kuphela ezakhiweni ezindala ezingakalungiswa kabusha. Ngokomthetho, lezi zinto kufanele zishintshwe ngokuphelele, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zomphakathi ezinjengezikole nezibhedlela.

Izifo ezibangelwa i-asbestos

Njengokwakhiwa okwenziwe ngemicu microscopic, i-asbestos ingakhuthazwa emaphashini, lapho iqoqa khona futhi idale ukuvuvukala okuqhubekayo kwezicubu zamaphaphu. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, kunengozi eyandayo yezinguquko kumaseli amaphaphu, okungaba imbangela yezifo ezithile zamaphaphu.

Ezinye zezifo ezivame kakhulu kubantu abadalulwe kuma-asbestos zifaka:

1. I-asbestosis

Yisifo esidalwa ukufisa kwe-asbestos emaphashini futhi senzeka ngenxa yokwakheka kwezibazi ezicutshini zamaphaphu, okuholela ekwehlisweni okuphawuleka kokuqina kwephaphu, okwenza kube nzima ukunweba nokuphefumula.

Lokhu kuvame ukuba yisifo esijwayelekile kubantu abasebenze nalolu hlobo lwezinto futhi kungathatha iminyaka eminingana ukuvela.

2. Umdlavuza wamaphaphu

Umdlavuza wamaphaphu ungavela ngenxa yezinguquko eziqhubekayo kumaseli wamaphaphu, kanye nokuvuvukala okungapheli kwamaphaphu.

Yize kuvame kakhulu ukuvela kubantu abanezinye izinto ezinobungozi, njengokubhema nokungabi nokudla okunempilo, kungakhula kubantu ababonakala benempilo, kuphela ngenxa yokuchayeka isikhathi eside kuma-asbestos.

Bheka izimpawu eziyishumi ezisiza ukukhomba umdlavuza wamaphaphu.

3. I-Mesothelioma

Lolu wuhlobo lomdlavuza olunolaka oluqubuka ku-mesothelium, ulwelwesi oluncane olugxilisa amaphaphu nezinye izitho ezibalulekile emgodini wesisu nowesisu. Ukuvezwa okungapheli kwe-asbestos kubonakala kungesinye sezizathu kuphela eziqinisekisiwe zalolu hlobo lomdlavuza.

Funda ukuthi ungazibona kanjani izimpawu ze-mesothelioma bese ubona ukuthi ukwelashwa kwenziwa kanjani.

Izimpawu ezingenzeka zokuchayeka

Izimpawu ezivame kakhulu kubantu abachayeka isikhathi eside kuma-asbestosi, noma i-asbestos, imvamisa ifaka:

• Ukukhwehlela okungapheli okuqhubekayo;
• Ukungahambi kahle;
• Ubuhlungu besifuba njalo;
• Kunzima ukuphefumula;
• Ukuzizwa ukhathele njalo.

Lezi zimpawu zingahluka ngokuya ngokuthi imicu ye-asbestos ilithinta kanjani iphaphu futhi imvamisa kuthatha iminyaka engama-20 noma engama-30 ukuvela ngemuva kokuchayeka kulokho okubhaliwe.

Ngalesi sizathu, abantu abake basebenza nalolu hlobo lwezinto esikhathini esedlule kufanele babonane nodokotela wamaphaphu futhi bahlole impilo yamaphaphu abo, bahlole isidingo sokuqala ukwelashwa okuthile, ukugwema ukuqala noma ukwanda kwanoma yisiphi isifo.

Ubani osengozini enkulu yokuchayeka

Ukuvezwa kwe-asbestos kwenzeka ikakhulukazi ngokuhogela i-microfibers. Ngakho-ke, abantu abasengozini enkulu yokuvezwa imvamisa yilabo abasebenza, noma abasebenzile, ngalolu hlobo lwezinto, njengoba kwenzeka kwabanye ababazi, abadwebi, abasebenza ngogesi, abakhi bamatshe noma abasebenza ngamapayipi amanzi.

Kodwa-ke, kujwayelekile nokuthi abangani nomndeni walaba basebenzi nabo babhekane nezinkinga kusuka ekuchayekeni nge-asbestos, njengoba imicu ingahanjiswa ngezingubo iye ekhaya, ngokwesibonelo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantu abahlala noma abasebenza ezindaweni ezinezinto ezenziwe ngama-asbestos nabo baveza ingozi enkulu yokuvezwa, ikakhulukazi uma lezi zinto zisetshenzisiwe. Ezinye zezinto ezivame ukuba ne-asbestos ekwakhiweni zifaka amathayili kasimende ka-fiber, amapayipi nokufakwa kwe-thermal.

Ungazivikela kanjani ekuvezweni kwe-asbestos

Indlela engcono yokuzivikela ekuchayekeni ku-asbestos ukugwema ukuxhumana nezinto zokwakha ezakhiwe ngalolu hlobo lwento. Ngakho-ke, inhloso ukuthi zonke izakhiwo ezinalolu hlobo lwezinto zilungiswa kabusha ukuze zishintshwe.

Kodwa-ke, ezinye izindlela zokuvikela zifaka:

• Gqoka imaski evikelayoezindaweni ezine-asbestos, ikakhulukazi ezakhiweni ezindala nezingasasebenzi;
• Susa izingubo ezisetshenziswa ezindaweni ezine-asbestos, ngaphambi kokuphumela emgwaqweni;
• Njalo gcina izinto ze-asbestos ezingakashintshwa.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, futhi njengoba izinkinga ezivela ekuchayekeni ku-asbestos kungathatha isikhathi ukuvela, abantu abasengozini enkulu yokuchayeka ku-asbestos kufanele bahlolwe njalo ngokwelashwa ukuze bahlole impilo yamaphaphu.
