Ukunciphisa ukuba sesichengeni somsi otyhefayo kwindawo yakho

Ukuba sesichengeni se-carbon monoxide (CO) kunokukhokelela ekutyhefweni yiCO, nto leyo enokubulala. Iialam zomsi otyhefayo zenzelwe ukukuchazela xa kukho amazinga aphezulu egesi.

Sikhuthaza Umbuki Zindwendwe ngamnye ukuba awuqonde umingcipheko wokuphefumala iCO aze afake iialam ukunceda ukugcina iindwendwe zikhuselekile. Ungacela ialam ibe nye kwa-Airbnb ukuba unendlu esebenzayo.

Umsi otyhefayo awunambala nawunavumba. Izixhobo zasekhaya ezisebenzisa amafutha, njengamaziko, izitovu, izixhobo zokufudumeza amanzi, neejenareyitha eziphathwayo, zinokwenza iCO. Amalahle nemililo yeenkuni nazo ziyayenza.

Xa iCO igcwala ngaphakathi endlini okanye kwezinye iindawo ezivaliweyo, ibayityhefu ebantwini nakwizilwanyana zasekhaya eziyiphefumlayo. Ukuphefumla iCO ngomlinganiselo ophezulu kusenokubulala. I-CO ayifani ne-carbon dioxide, okanye neCO₂, esetyenziswa kwiziselo ezinekhabhoni nakwizicima-mlilo.

Awunakuwazi ukuba umsi otyhefayo ukhona ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ialam. Ukufaka ialam enye okanye ezingakumbi zeCO kunokuchazela iindwendwe nabanye abantu, kuquka nawe nentsapho yakho, xa kukho amanqanaba eCO angakhuselekanga.

Iialam zomsi eziqhelekileyo azizoalam zomsi otyhefayo, kodwa izixhobo ezenza zombini ezi zinto zinokusebenza. Funda ileyibhile yomvelisi wayo ngononophelo xa uyikhetha.

Umsi otyhefayo usenokubakho ukuba indawo yakho inazo naziphi na kwezi zinto okanye ezi zinto ezinokusetyenziswa:

• Izixhobo zasekhaya ezisebenzisa amalahle, iparafini, ipetroli, i-methane, igesi yendalo, ioyile, i-propane, okanye iinkuni

• Igaraji ethe nca endlini, nokuba indawo yakho inezixhobo zombane kuphela

• I-generator esetyenziswa kufutshane neminyango okanye neefestile

• Izixhobo zokoja zegesi okanye zeenkuni ezisetyenziswa kufutshane neminyango okanye neefestile

• Indawo yokubasa umlilo

Iingcali ezifana neInternational Association of Fire Chiefs zicebisa ukuba ufake ialam yomsi otyhefayo kumgangatho ngamnye wendawo yakho.

I-International Association of Fire Chiefs icebisa ukuba uthathe la manyathelo ongezelelweyo ukuze uphephe ukuba sesichengeni somsi otyhefayo:

1. Vavanya iialam zakho nyanga nganye ukuze uqinisekise ukuba ziyasebenza. Ngokuqhelekileyo iibhetri kufuneka zitshintshwe qho emva konyaka omnye, emihlanu okanye eyi-10. Jonga umhla obhalwe ngumenzi wazo ngasemva kwealam nakwincwadi yazo ukuze ufumane isikhokelo.

2. Qinisekisa ukuba izixhobo zakho zifakwe ngokwemithetho yasekuhlaleni nangokwemiyalelo yomenzi wazo. Izixhobo ezininzi ezisebenza ngamafutha zifanele zifakwe ngabantu abanolwazi lwazo.

3. Mazicocwe zize zihlolwe qho izixhobo ezisebenzisa amafutha. Amaziko, izitovu, oomatshini bokomisa impahla, iitshimini okanye iindawo zokukhupha umoya oshushu kufuneka ziqwalaselwe qho. Le nto iqinisekisa ukuba zisebenza kakuhle, zingena umoya owaneleyo ibe azinazintanda, irusi okanye amabala.

4. Mane ujonga iindawo zokukhupha umsi ezisetyenziswa zizixhobo ezifana nezixhobo zokufudumeza amanzi, izitovu zasekhitshini nezixhobo zokomisa impahla ukuze uqinisekise ukuba zihlala zivuliwe kwaye akukho nto ixingileyo kuzo.

5. Yivule ngokupheleleyo indawo yokukhupha umsi xa usebenzisa iziko okanye esinye isixhobo sokubasa esisebenzisa iinkuni. Ungayivali ude umlilo ucime ngokupheleleyo.

6. Bhalela iindwendwe imiyalelo ecacileyo. Faka inkcazelo eneenkcukacha kwincwadi ekuxelela ngendlu yakho ngendlela yokusebenzisa ngokukhuselekileyo izixhobo zendawo yakho nezinye izinto ezinokusetyenziswa. Beka ikopi eprintiweyo apho iindwendwe zinokuyifumana khona ngokulula, njengakwitafile esembindini wendlu okanye ekhawuntarini.

7. Nika iindwendwe iinombolo zefowuni zemeko yongxamiseko zesebe lomlilo lasekuhlaleni, zesebe lamapolisa, nezezibhedlele ezikufuphi.

Ukubonisa ukuba unealam yomsi otyhefayo kunceda ukubonisa iindwendwe ukuba uyikhathalele impilo yazo. Faka iinkcukacha ngeealam ozifakileyo kwicandelo lezixhobo zokhuseleko lendlu yakho. Inkcazelo oyifakayo iza kubonakala kwiphepha lendlu yakho nakwii-imeyile eziya kwiindwendwe ngaphambi kokuba zibhalise xa zifika.

Iindwendwe ezikhangela indawo kwa-Airbnb zingahluza izindlu ngealam yomsi otyhefayo. Ukufaka iialam zeCO nokulungisa indlu yakho akuzukuphucula ukhuseleko nje kuphela, kodwa kunokukunceda ubhukishwe ngakumbi.

Eli nqaku liquka izikhokelo zokhuseleko eziqhelekileyo ibe alinayo yonke into. Nceda ucinge ngezinto ezikhethekileyo zendlu yakho uze ufunde imithetho yasekuhlaleni neyeengcali zomlilo.

Inkcazelo ekweli nqaku isenokuba itshintshile emva kokuba lipapashiwe.
