I-Asbestos, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-asbestos, liqela leeminerali elenziwa yimicroscopic fibers ezazisetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwizinto ezahlukeneyo zokwakha, ngakumbi eluphahleni, emgangathweni kunye nokugquma izindlu.

Nangona kunjalo, kule minyaka idlulileyo, kuye kwafunyaniswa ukuba ezi fayibha zinokukhutshelwa lula emoyeni ngokudleka kwezinto, zibangele ukuba babe nomoya wokuphefumla. Xa ezi fayibha zifikelela emiphungeni zibangela ukonzakala okuncinci okwandisa umngcipheko wezifo zokuphefumla ngokuhamba kwexesha.

Ke, izinto ezenziwe nge-asbestos azifakwanga kulwakhiwo, zibakhona kuphela kwizakhiwo ezindala ezingekahlaziywa. Ngokomthetho, ezi zinto kufuneka zitshintshwe ngokupheleleyo, ngakumbi kwiindawo zikawonke-wonke ezifana nezikolo nezibhedlele, umzekelo.

Izifo ezibangelwa yi-asbestos

Njengesixhobo esenziwe yimicroscopic fibers, i-asbestos inokukhuthazwa kwimiphunga, apho iqokelela khona kwaye ibangele ukudumba okuqhubekayo kwezicubu zemiphunga. Xa oku kusenzeka, kukho umngcipheko owandayo wotshintsho kwiiseli zemiphunga, ezinokuba ngunobangela wezifo zemiphunga.

Ezinye zezifo eziqhelekileyo kubantu abachazwe kwi-asbestos zibandakanya:

1. I-Asbestosis

Sisifo esibangelwa kuphela ngumnqweno we-asbestos emiphungeni kwaye senzeka ngenxa yokwakheka kwezikrelemnqa kwithishu yemiphunga, ekhokelela ekunciphiseni okuphawuleka kububhetyebhetye bemiphunga, kusenza kube nzima ukwandisa nokuphefumla.

Esi siqhelo sisifo esiqhelekileyo kubantu abasebenze nolu hlobo lwezinto kwaye kungathatha iminyaka eliqela ukuvela.

2. Umhlaza wemiphunga

Umhlaza wemiphunga unokubonakala ngenxa yotshintsho oluqhubekayo kwiiseli zemiphunga, kunye nokudumba okungapheliyo kwemiphunga.

Nangona kuqhelekile ukuvela kubantu abanezinye izinto ezinobungozi, njengokutshaya kunye nokungabinako ukutya okunesondlo, kunokukhula kubantu ababonakala besempilweni, kuphela ngenxa yokuvezwa ixesha elide kwi-asbestos.

Jonga iimpawu ezili-10 ezinceda ekuchongeni umhlaza wemiphunga.

3. UMesothelioma

Olu luhlobo lomhlaza olunobundlongondlongo olukhula kwi-mesothelium, inwebu ebhityileyo ebeka imiphunga kunye namanye amalungu abalulekileyo kwisisu nakwisisu somqala. Ukuvezwa okungapheliyo kwe-asbestos kubonakala kungoyena nobangela uqinisekisiweyo wolu hlobo lomhlaza.

Funda indlela yokuchonga iimpawu ze-mesothelioma kwaye ubone ukuba unyango lwenziwa njani.

Iimpawu ezinokubakho zokuvezwa

Ezona mpawu zixhaphakileyo kubantu abaphila ixesha elide kwi-asbestos, okanye i-asbestos, zihlala zibandakanya:

• Ukukhohlela okungapheliyo;
• Ukudakumba;
• Iintlungu rhoqo esifubeni;
• Ubunzima bokuphefumla;
• Ukuziva udiniwe rhoqo.

Ezi mpawu zinokwahluka ngokuxhomekeke kwindlela imicu ye-asbestos echaphazela ngayo imiphunga kwaye ihlala ithatha ukuya kuthi ga kwiminyaka engama-20 okanye engama-30 ukuvela emva kokuvezwa kwento leyo.

Ngesi sizathu, abantu abakhe basebenza nolu hlobo lwezinto kwixa elidlulileyo kufuneka babonane nesifo se-pulmonologist kwaye bavavanye impilo yemiphunga yabo, bavavanye isidingo sokuqala unyango, ukunqanda ukuqala okanye ukonakala kwaso nasiphi na isifo.

Ngubani osengozini yokuvezwa

Ukuvezwa kwe-asbestos kwenzeka ikakhulu ngokufuthwa kwe-microfibers. Ke, abona bantu basemngciphekweni wokuvezwa ngesiqhelo ngabo basebenzayo, okanye abasebenzayo, ngolu hlobo lwezixhobo, njengoko kunjalo nakwabanye abachweli, abazobi, abasebenza ngombane, abenzi bamatye okanye abatywini.

Nangona kunjalo, kuqhelekile kubahlobo kunye nosapho lwaba basebenzi ukuba nabo babe namava okuvela ekuvezeni i-asbestos, njengoko imicu ingahanjiswa ngempahla iye ekhayeni, umzekelo.

Ukongeza, abantu abahlala okanye abasebenza kwiindawo ezinezinto ezenziwe nge-asbestos zikwangumngcipheko omkhulu wokuvezwa, ngakumbi ukuba ezi zinto ziphelile. Ezinye zezinto ezisoloko zinee-asbestos kulwakhiwo zibandakanya iithayile zesamente yefayibha, imibhobho kunye nokugquma kobushushu.

Ungazikhusela njani ekuvezeni i-asbestos

Eyona ndlela yokuzikhusela ekuchaseni i-asbestos kukuphepha ukunxibelelana nezinto ezenziwe ngolu hlobo lwezixhobo. Ke, into efanelekileyo kukuba zonke izakhiwo ezinolu hlobo lwezixhobo zilungiswe ngokutsha endaweni yazo.

Nangona kunjalo, amanye amanyathelo okhuseleko abandakanya:

• Nxiba imaski yokukhuselakwiindawo ezine-asbestos, ingakumbi kwizakhiwo ezindala nezidilikileyo;
• Susa iimpahla ezisetyenziswa kwiindawo ezineasbestos, ngaphambi kokuba ndiye esitratweni;
• Rhoqo gcina izinto zeasbestos ezingakhange zitshintshwe.

Ukongeza, kwaye ukusukela ekubeni ukubakho kwe-asbestos kungathatha ixesha ukuvela, abantu abasemngciphekweni omkhulu wokuchaphazeleka kwi-asbestos kufuneka benze iimviwo zonyango rhoqo ukuvavanya impilo yemiphunga.
