Izihlanzi zomoya zihlale ziwumqondo omuhle kulabo abangezwani nezinto ezithile, kepha uma ujwayele ukusebenza usekhaya noma uhlela ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi usendlini (kanye nokuhlukaniswa kwakamuva, ukuvalwa kwezindlu, nokuzijwayeza ukuqhelelana nomphakathi, okungase kube semakhadini) bangahle bakufanele ukucatshangelwa.

Okokuqala nokuphambili, izinto zokuhlanza umoya zingakusiza ngawo wonke ama-allergen akho ajwayelekile asendlini — kufaka phakathi uthuli, isikhunta, i-pet dander, ngisho nentuthu yokupheka nogwayi. Ngenkathi ochwepheshe be-CDC bephawule ukuthi indlela engcono yokwenza ngcono ikhwalithi yomoya wasendlini ukuvula iwindi, lokhu kungenzeka kungabi yindlela yabantu abane-asthma noma ezinye izifo zonyaka. Kulezi zimo, i-EPA icacisa ukuthi izihlanzi zomoya, ikakhulukazi uma ziyekwa ukuthi zisebenze ngesivinini esiphezulu sabalandeli isikhathi eside, zingasiza ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yomoya.

Kepha abahlanza umoya bangakwazi ukuwasusa emoyeni amagciwane (njenge-coronavirus, i-COVID-19) namagciwane? Kuzwakala kukuhle kakhulu ukuthi kungabi yiqiniso, akunjalo? Lapha, ochwepheshe bayahlola ukuthi la magajethi angaba neqhaza yini ekuthuthukiseni impilo yekhaya lakho.

Okokuqala, kuyakhokhela ukwazi ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo zezihlungi ezisebenzayo kuzihlanzi zomoya. Iningi lezihlungi zomoya osebenza kahle kakhulu (i-HEPA), okuyisigejana semicu ehlanganisiwe edonsa izinhlayiya. Ngaphezu kwezihlungi ze-HEPA, izinto zokuhlanza umoya nazo zingaqukatha izihlungi zekhabhoni, ezenzelwe ukukhipha amagesi — futhi ukujiya kwawo kuba ngcono. Izihlungi ze-UV zenzelwe ukuqeda amagciwane ahamba emoyeni; kodwa-ke, i-EPA iphawula ukuthi azitholakali zisebenza kahle emakhaya.

Mayelana ne-COVID-19? Izihlungi ze-HEPA zisebenza ngokuhlunga umoya ngamatshe amahle kakhulu, futhi imvamisa ingasusa izinhlayiya ezisemoyeni ezingaphezulu kwamamitha ayi-0.3 ngosayizi, kuchaza uRand McClain, MD, isikhulu sezokwelapha se-LCR Health. "Ama-virion e-COVID-19 (izinhlayiya zegciwane) cishe angama-microns angu-0.1, kodwa asengabanjwa ngenxa yenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi yi-diffusion ehilela i-Brownian Movement," kuchaza uMcClain. Ukuyidiliza: I-Brownian Movement ibhekisa ekuhambeni okungahleliwe kwezinhlayiya, futhi ukusakazeka kwenzeka lapho lokhu kuhamba okungahleliwe kubangela ukuthi izinhlayiya zibambeke emicimbini yesihlungi sesihlanzisi.

U-Niket Sonpal, M.D., oyilungu lebhodi le-internist eliqinisekiswe yibhodi elizinze eNew York City e-Touro College of Medicine, akavumi ncamashi ukuthi abahlanza umoya banganikeza inzuzo. Izihlungi zokuhlanza umoya azilungile ngokwanele futhi azilivezi igciwane ekukhanyeni okwanele kwe-UV ukulibhubhisa, uyaphika.

Lokho kusho ukuthi, i-COVID-19, noma i-coronavirus, ijwayele ukudluliswa iye kumuntu-ngakho-ke noma ngabe isihlungi se-HEPA singasiza ekususeni i-COVID-19 emoyeni, ngeke siyeke ukudluliswa kwegciwane, kuphawula uMcClain. "Indlela esheshayo / engcono yokususa ama-virions emoyeni egumbini ukuvula kalula amafasitela amabili ukuvumela ama-virions abaleke bese engena esikhundleni somoya omusha, ongenagciwane," uyanezela. Ngamanye amagama, kungasiza kuphela uma othile ekhaya lakho eselitholile kakade igciwane, futhi ukuvula amawindi kungenza umsebenzi omuhle. Okwamanje, ukubheja kwakho okuhle kakhulu ekuvimbeleni i-COVID-19 ukuqhubeka nokugeza izandla, unciphise ukuchayeka ezindaweni zomphakathi, futhi ugcine izandla zakho zikude nobuso bakho, kusho uDkt. Sonpal. (Okuhlobene: Ungaligcina Kanjani Ikhaya Lakho Lihlanzekile Futhi Linempilo Uma Uzihlukanisela Ngenxa YeCoronavirus)
