Ityhefu yecarbon monoxide: iimpawu, into ekufuneka uyenze kunye nendlela yokuyiphepha

Umxholo

• Iimpawu eziphambili
• I-carbon monoxide iyichaphazela njani impilo
• Kufuneka wenze ntoni xa unxilile
• Ungayithintela njani ityhefu ye-carbon monoxide

Ikharbon monoksayidi luhlobo lwegesi eyityhefu engenavumba okanye incasa kwaye, ke ngoko, xa ikhutshelwa kwindalo esingqongileyo, inokubangela ukunxila okugwenxa kwaye ngaphandle kwesilumkiso, ibeka ubomi emngciphekweni.

Olu hlobo lwegesi luhlala luveliswa ngokutshisa uhlobo oluthile lwepetroli, efana negesi, i-oyile, iinkuni okanye amalahle kwaye, ke, kuqhelekile ukuba iityhefu zecarbon monoxide zenzeke ebusika, xa kusetyenziswa izifudumezi okanye iindawo zomlilo ukuzama ukufudumeza okusingqongileyo ngaphakathi endlwini.

Ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba wazi iimpawu zokunxila kwecarbon monoxide, ukuchonga ukunxila ngaphambi kwexesha kwaye uqale unyango olufanelekileyo. Ukongeza, kubalulekile ukuba wazi ukuba zeziphi iimeko ezinokukhokelela ekuvelisweni kwekhabhon monoksayidi ukuzama ukuziphepha, kwaye ke, ukuthintela ityhefu yengozi.

Iimpawu eziphambili

Ezinye zeempawu eziqhelekileyo kunye neempawu zetyhefu ye-carbon monoxide zibandakanya:

• Intloko ebuhlungu ngakumbi;
• Ukuziva unesiyezi;
• Ukugula ngokubanzi;
• Ukudinwa nokudideka;
• Bunzima kancinci ekuphefumlweni.

Iimpawu zinamandla ngakumbi kwabo bakufutshane nomthombo wemveliso yecarbon monoxide. Ukongeza, okukhona iphefumla igesi, kokukhona ziya kubakho ngakumbi iimpawu, kude kube ekugqibeleni umntu ulahlekelwa ziingqondo kwaye adlule, okunokwenzeka ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezi-2 emva kokuqala kokuvezwa.

Nokuba kukho uxinano oluncinci lwekhabhon monoksayidi emoyeni, ukubonakaliswa ixesha elide kunokubangela iimpawu ezinjengobunzima bokugxila, utshintsho kwimood kunye nokuphulukana nolungelelwaniso.

I-carbon monoxide iyichaphazela njani impilo

Xa icarbon monoxide iphefumlelwe, ifikelela emiphungeni kwaye iyayixuba egazini, apho ixubeka khona nehemoglobin, icandelo elibalulekileyo legazi elinoxanduva lokuhambisa ioksijini kumalungu ohlukeneyo.

Xa oku kusenzeka, ihemoglobin ibizwa ngokuba yi-carboxyhemoglobin kwaye ayisakwazi ukuhambisa ioksijini ukusuka emiphungeni iye kumalungu, agqibela ngokuchaphazela ukusebenza komzimba uphela kwaye onokudala nokonakala kwengqondo okungapheliyo. Xa ukunxila kuqhubeka kakhulu okanye kukhulu, oku kuswela ioksijini kungasongela ubomi.

Kufuneka wenze ntoni xa unxilile

Nanini na xa kurhanelwa ityhefu ye-carbon monoxide, kubalulekile ukuba:

1. Vula iifestile indawo yokuvumela ioksijini ukuba ingene;
2. Vala isixhobo ukuba ingavelisa icarbon monoxide;
3. Ulale phantsi unemilenze ephakamileyo ngaphezulu kwenqanaba lentliziyo, ukuququzelela ukujikeleza ukuya kwingqondo;
4. Yiya esibhedlele ukwenza uvavanyo oluneenkcukacha kwaye uqonde ukuba ngaba unyango oluthile ngakumbi luyafuneka.

Ukuba umntu akazi nto kwaye akakwazi ukuphefumla, kufuneka kuqaliswe ukubhucungwa kwentliziyo, ekufuneka kwenziwe ngolu hlobo lulandelayo:

Ukuvavanywa esibhedlele kuhlala kwenziwa ngovavanyo lwegazi oluvavanya ipesenti ye-carboxyhemoglobin egazini. Amaxabiso angaphezulu kwe-30% ngokubanzi abonisa ukunxila, ekufuneka kunyangwe esibhedlele ngokulawulwa kweoksijini de amaxabiso e-carboxyhemoglobin angaphantsi kwe-10%.

Ungayithintela njani ityhefu ye-carbon monoxide

Nangona ukunxila lolu hlobo lwegesi kunzima ukuluchonga, kuba ayinuki okanye incasa, kukho iingcebiso ezinokuyithintela ingenzeki. Ezinye zezi:

• Faka i-carbon monoxide detector ngaphakathi;
• Yiba nezixhobo zokufudumeza ngaphandle kwendlu, ngakumbi ezo zihamba ngerhasi, iinkuni okanye ioyile;
• Kunqande ukusetyenziswa kwezifudumezi zelangatye ngaphakathi kumagumbi;
• Soloko ugcina ifestile ivulekile kancinci xa usebenzisa isifudumezi somlilo ngaphakathi endlwini;
• Njalo uvule umnyango wegaraji ngaphambi kokuqala imoto.

Umngcipheko we-carbon monoxide poisoning uphezulu kwiintsana, ebantwaneni nakubantu abadala, nangona kunjalo kunokwenzeka nakubani na, nkqu nakwimveku engekazalwa, kwimeko yomfazi okhulelweyo, njengoko iiseli zomntwana ezifunxa ikharbon monoksayidi ngokukhawuleza kunaleyo umntu omdala.
