Ukuhlolwa kweRadon, umlinganiselo owenziweyo ukufumanisa ubukho begesi e-radon emakhaya ethu, kunokuthintela abantu abangaphezu kwama-27 000 ukufa komdlavuza wamaphaphu ngamnye ngonyaka e-United States. Ukuze kuqondwe ubukhulu baloo nani, ama-40,000 amabhinqa abulawa ngumhlaza wesifuba unyaka ngamnye. Ukuba sineendlela zokuthintela ukufa kweengcathu zesine zomhlaza webele , ngaba wawuyivile malunga nayo?
Ewe, sinendlela yokuthintela ukufa kwabantu abaninzi emdlalweni wemiphunga yemiphunga kunye novavanyo olulula.
Ukuqonda ukubaluleka kweRadon
I-gason ye-Radon iyona gesi engabonakaliyo, engenangqungquthela eveliswa ngokuphazamiseka okuqhelekileyo kwe-uranium emhlabeni. Nangona ezinye iindawo zase-US zinamazinga aphezulu e-radon, amanqanaba aphakamileyo afunyenwe emakhaya kuwo onke ama-50, nakwihlabathi jikelele. Ngeli xesha, kuqikelelwa ukuba 1 kwikhaya eli-15 e-United States iye yaphakamisa amanqanaba e-radon. Ngombulelo, ukuba amazinga e-radon aphakamileyo afunyenwe kwaye alungiswe, oku kubangelwa ngumhlaza wemiphunga. Uvavanyo lwe-Radon lulula, alubizi, kwaye alufuneki amandla.
Ngubani omele ahlole iRadon
Ekubeni i-radon yintsimbi engenabala, i-colorless, yindlela ephela yokukwazi ukuba amazinga aqhelekanga kwikhaya lakho uvavanyo. I-EPA icebisa ukuba yonke imizi yaseUnited States ihlolwe i-radon. Kwixesha elidlulileyo, abanye abantu bacinga ukuba amakhaya angenawo amaziko angasemngciphekweni, kodwa akusiyo loo nto.
Naluphi na indawo yokuhlala kwindawo engaphantsi kwesithathu kwisakhiwo kufuneka ihlolwe.
Ukuqonda iziphumo zovavanyo lwakho lweRadon
I-Radon ikhona kwixabiso elincinci emoyeni jikelele. Umgangatho osemgangathweni we-radon kwimoya yangaphandle ngu-0.4 pCi / L (i-Pico Curies ngeLib), kwaye izinga eliphakathi kwimoya yangaphakathi ngu-1.3 pCi / L.
I-Arhente yokuKhuselwa kweNdalo (EPA) isincoma ukulungisa ikhaya lakho ukuba izinga le-radon lingaphezulu kwe-4 pCi / L. Baphinde bathi abantu kufuneka baqwalasele ukulungiswa xa izinga liwela phakathi kwe-2 pCi / L kunye ne-4 pCi / L. Kunokuba nzima ukuthelekisa ingozi nazo zonke izigulana zeendaba ezivelayo, kodwa ukuba awuyi kuvumela ababhemayo kwikhaya lakho, kufuneka uqikelele ukulungisa amanqanaba angaphezu kwe-2 pCi / L.
Kubaluleka kokuvavanywa kwiLung Cancer Prevention
Ukubonakaliswa kwi-radon kumakhaya ethu ngowesibili esibangela umdlavuza wamaphaphu kunye nenani elilodwa kubangangabhemi. Ukubeka umngcipheko we-radon ngombono, i-EPA inesatidi apho baqhathanisa umngcipheko we-radon kwezinye iingozi. Kwinqanaba le-4 pCi / L, umngcipheko wokungabikho ababhemayo kuya kuba nomdlavuza wamaphaphu ngenxa ye-radon kufana nomngcipheko wokufa kwingozi yemoto. Kubantu ababhemayo, ukuxhamla kwi-radon kubaluleke ngakumbi. Kwinqanaba le-radon le-4 pCi / L, umngcipheko wokuba nomdlavuza wamaphaphu unamaxesha angama-5 engozi yokufa kwingozi yemoto.
Izindlela zeRadon Testing
Zomibini iimvavanyo ezifutshane kunye nexesha elide ziyafumaneka ukuvavanya i-radon. Ukuvavanywa kwexesha elifutshane kukulungileyo ukuba ufuna ukufunda ngokukhawuleza kwimeko yekhaya lakho. Kubaluleke kakhulu njengenxalenye yokuhlolwa ngaphambi kokuthenga ikhaya.
Uvavanyo lwexesha elifutshane
Uvavanyo lwexeshana lifutshane kakhulu indlela yokufumanisa amanqanaba e-radon ephakamileyo ekhaya lakho kwaye zenziwa kwithuba leentsuku ezi-2 ukuya kwii-90 (ezininzi iikiti zokuvavanya zenziwa ngaphezu kweentsuku ezimbini ukuya kwezi-4). Ngaba-it-yourself kits short-term zifumaneka kwiivenkile ezininzi zeekhompyutha, kwaye zinokulawulwa kwikhompyutha okanye ngefowuni (jonga ngezantsi). Uninzi lwee-arhente zokuhlola zasekhaya zinika i-radon ukufunyanwa njengenxalenye yokuhlolwa kwekhaya. Ngokusekelwe kwinani lamakhaya aphakamileyo amanqanaba ehlabathini lonke, kunye neendleko (zombini ngokwezemali nangokwenyama) kwimpilo yakho, ezi mvavanyo zincinci kakhulu.
Uvavanyo lwexesha elide
Iimvavanyo zangexesha elide zenziwa ngexesha elingaphezu kweentsuku eziyi-90.
Amanqanaba eRadon aguquke kunyaka kwaye aphezulu kwixesha lokushisa xa kushushu ukusetyenziswa kwaye iifestile zivaliwe. Ezi mvavanyo zinokunika isibonakaliso sokuba yintoni umgangatho osemgangathweni we-radon onyakeni wakho wekhaya. Ngokuqhelekileyo, iimvavanyo zangexesha elide zisetyenziswe ngabo baye benza ukunciphisa i-radon kwaye bafuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba nayiphi na inqanaba lokunciphisa ama-radon awathatheyo asebenzayo.
Izixhobo
Zombini izixhobo ezingabonakaliyo nezisebenzayo zingasetyenziselwa ukuhlolwa kwe-radon. Izixhobo ezinqamlekileyo, ezinjengeengxowa zamatye, azidingi amandla kwaye ziyafumaneka ngokubanzi. Izixhobo ezisebenzayo zidinga amandla ukuqhuba kwaye zinokubonelela ngokuqhubekayo kwamazinga e-radon. Ezi zixhobo ziqhelekileyo zisetyenziselwa yinkampani yokuvavanya i-radon kunokuba nje uvavanyo lokuzivocavoca kwaye ngokuqhelekileyo libiza kakhulu.
Indlela yokuvavanya iRadon
Ukufunda ngokucophelela uze ulandele izikhokelo zomenzi kwi-kit yakho yokuhlola i-radon. Ezinye zezi zizodwa ngqo. Ngokomzekelo, ukuba uvavanyo lwakho lushiywe ngaphandle kwexabiso elifunekayo lexesha, lingqiniswanga ngokungafanelekanga, okanye kukho ukulibaziseka phakathi kwexesha lokuvavanya kwaye xa uthumela uvavanyo, isampuli yakho inganqatshwa. Uninzi lwezixhobo zokuhlola zincoma oku kulandelayo:
- Beka itekiti yokuhlola kwindawo ephantsi kakhulu yokuhlala kwindawo yakho.
- Gcina iifestile kunye neengcango zivaliwe (ngaphandle kokungena nokushiya) kwiiyure ezili-12 ngaphambi kokuvavanya ikhaya lakho, kwaye ngexesha lonke lovavanyo (iimvavanyo zesikhashana).
- Gwema ukubeka itekiti yokuhlola ekhitshini, amagumbi okuhlambela, iindlovu, igumbi lokuhlamba, kunye namagumbi anokungabikho.
- Beka itekiti ubuncinane ubunama-20 intshi ukusuka phantsi.
Yintoni ongayenza Ukuba iiNqanaba zakho zeRadon ziphezulu
Ukuba izinga lakho le-radon lingaphezulu kwe-4 pCi / L, isinyathelo sokuqala ukuphinda uvavanyo. Ukuba umyinge weemvavanyo uhlala ngaphezu kwe-4 pCi / L, kucetyiswa ukuba uqhagamshelane neengcali ukwenza uhlalutyo lwe-radon (jonga izibonelelo ezingezantsi). Asikwazi ukugxininisa ngokwaneleyo ukubaluleka kokuqhagamshelana nochwepheshe owazi kakuhle kwi-radon yokunciphisa. Ekuhambeni kwexesha, oku kungenza umehluko omkhulu kwimpilo yakho, kunye nekhredithi yakho.
Izibonelelo
Uninzi lwezitolo zehardware zithatha iikiti zokuvavanya kwexesha elifutshane. Iikiti ezithengiweyo zihlala zifumaneka (ngokukodwa ngexesha leNyanga yokuLawulwa kweRadon ngoJanuwari) ngamasebe empilo karhulumente okanye aseburhulumenteni. Ukuba unomdla kumhloli ofanelekileyo we-radon, tshekisha ngolwazi lwenkontileka yakho ye-radon. Ngefowuni, iikiti zokuvavanya ezithengiswayo zingathengwa kwi-1-800-SOS-RADON.
I-Radon Yokunciphisa-Ukufumana iNgcali eQinisekisiweyo
Ukuba amazinga akho e-radon aphakanyisiwe, kubalulekile ukuba ikhaya lakho lilungiswe ukunciphisa intsapho yakho ingozi yomhlaza wemiphunga. I-state yakho ye-radon iqhagamshelana nayo ingakunika uluhlu lweengcali zokunciphisa i-radon kwindawo yakho. Thatha isikhashana ufunde kabanzi malunga nokunciphisa i-radon xa kuya kufuneka ukhangele ukhetho okanye ube nabahlobo, abamelwane, okanye usapho oya kujongana neenkxalabo ezifanayo kwixesha elizayo.
Iimeko ezizodwa
Ukongeza kokungena ekhaya lakho ngomhlaba, i-radon inokufumaneka kwindawo yamanzi, okanye kwizinto esizifakayo kumakhaya ethu afana nama- counterparts . Ukuba unomdla malunga nokuba no-radon emanzini akho, khangela ukuba u-radon uqhagamshelana nombuso wakho. Ulwazi oluqhelekileyo malunga ne-radon kumanzi okusela lufumaneka kwi-EPA yoNcedo lokuNwa kwamanzi okuNgciliswa kwi-1-800-426-4791.
Ngaphantsi kovavanyo lweRadon
Ukuvavanya i-radon yenye yeendlela ezincinci zokunciphisa umngcipheko wakho wokuba nomhlaza. Siva ezininzi malunga nezilwanyana ezinokuthi zidlale indima ekufumaneni umdlavuza kwintsapho yamanye amabhinqa, kodwa ngokuhlolwa kwe-radon, sinendlela yokuvavanya, kwaye sinokuthintela, uhlobo oluqhelekileyo lomhlaza ekuphuhliseni ngokupheleleyo.
Eyona nkxalabo kukuba i-radon ukunyuka, kuba ivela ekhaya, ishiya abantwana kuba mngcipheko omkhulu. Senza konke okusemandleni ukugcina abantwana bethu bephilile, kodwa asisoloko sicinga malunga nendlela yokuphucula umgangatho wobomi kunye nokulinda kwabo ubomi xa be-40 okanye 50. Kodwa nokuba unabantwana okanye cha, vavanya ikhaya lakho nge-radon namhlanje. Ayikho ikhaya elikhuselekileyo uze ubone inombolo enenjongo, kwaye kunye neengcali zothuka imihla ngemihla ukuba zifunde ngamakhaya asemngciphekweni. Wena, impilo yakho kunye nentsapho yakho iyafaneleka.
