Amathoyizi ezingane agcwele ubuthi, amakhemikhali: Yazi izingozi zempilo

I-New Delhi: Amathoyizi ezingane aklanyelwe ukuletha injabulo, futhi akhuthaze ukusungula nokufunda. Kodwa kuthiwani uma izinto ezihloselwe ukukhuthaza izingqondo ezisencane ngokwazo ziyingozi? Naphezu kokuqonda kwabazali ukuthi amathoyizi abawathengayo aphephile noma okungenani awayona ingozi kakhulu, iqiniso liwukuthi imikhiqizo engalawulwa yanoma yiluphi uhlobo ingaba umthombo wobuthi obuyingozi ezinganeni ezisacathula, ibangele ngisho nezifo ezisongela ukuphila noma ezinye izinkinga zempilo. Ukukhiqizwa kwamathoyizi okungalawulwa, kusukela ekungcolisweni komthofu kuya kumakhemikhali ayingozi ashiywe ngaphandle kokuhlolwa enqubweni yokukhiqiza, kungaba nemiphumela yesikhathi eside enhlalakahleni yekusasa yengane.

Engxoxweni ne-News9Live, uDkt. Vittal Kumar Kesireddy, ongu-Consultant & In-Charge, uMnyango Wezifo Zezingane, Izibhedlela ze-CARE, e-Banjara Hills, e-Hyderabad, ukhulume ngamakhemikhali atholakala kumathoyizi ezingane kanye nobungozi bawo bezempilo obungaba khona.

Izingozi Ezifihliwe: Yini Ecasha Kumathoyizi Angalawulwa?

Amathoyizi amaningi abiza kancane, angenisiwe, nangalawulwa agcwala emakethe, ngokuvamile edlula ukuhlolwa okuqinile kokuphepha. Lawa mathoyizi angase aqukathe izinto ezivinjelwe ezimakethe ezilawulwayo noma ezikhawulelwe kakhulu. Obunye ubuthi obubi kakhulu obutholakala ezintweni zokudlala zezingane buhlanganisa:

Izinsimbi zomthofu nezisindayo: Kutholakala kumapende, kumapulasitiki, nasezindaweni ezinamathelayo, ukuchayeka komthofu kungabangela ukulimala okukhulu kwezinzwa, ukubambezeleka kokukhula, nokukhubazeka ekufundeni ezinganeni.
I-Phthalates ne-BPA: Lawa makhemikhali, avame ukutholakala kumathoyizi epulasitiki akhangwe ngesikhathi ekhiqizwa ngezinqubo zokushisa-afakazelwe ukuthi aphazamisa ibhalansi yamahomoni futhi athinte ukukhula kokuzala.
I-Formaldehyde: Isetshenziswa ezintweni zokunamathisela namanye amathoyizi enziwe ngokhuni, lekhemikhali edumile iyi-carcinogen yomuntu evivinyiwe futhi eyiqiniso engase futhi ibangele izinkinga zamaphaphu nokungezwani komzimba ukukhula njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka.
Ama-Flame Retardants: Le nto ikhona kumathoyizi athambile nasemikhiqizweni eyenziwe ngegwebu. Kuye kwaxhunyaniswa nokuphazamiseka kwama-hormone kanye nokubambezeleka kwamakhono okucabanga.

Ungayenza Kanjani Izinketho Eziphephile Zengane Yakho

Nakuba izinhlangano ezilawulayo ezifana ne-Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) kanye nezinhlangano zamazwe ngamazwe zinemihlahlandlela ekhona, umthwalo wemfanelo ubuye ulele kubazali nabanakekeli. Nansi indlela ongaqinisekisa ngayo ukuthi amathoyizi engane yakho aphephile:

1. Hlola Izitifiketi Zokuphepha: Bheka izimpawu zesitifiketi ze-BIS, ISI, CE, noma ze-ASTM kumathoyizi, abonisa ukuhambisana nezindinganiso zokuphepha.
2. Gwema Amathoyizi Ashibhile, Angenaphawu: Nakuba izinketho ezivumelana nesabelomali zilinga, amathoyizi angenalo uphawu ngokuvamile awanakho ukulawula izinga nokuhlolwa kokuphepha.
3. Khetha Izinto Zemvelo: Amathoyizi enziwe ngokhuni, aphilayo, nangenayo i-BPA ayizindlela eziphephile zamathoyizi enziwe ngepulasitiki.
4. Funda Amalebula Nezithako: Gwema amathoyizi anezakhi zamakhemikhali ezingacacile, iphunga elinamandla, noma upende oluningi.
5. Hlala Unolwazi Ngokukhumbula: Hlola njalo amawebhusayithi okuphepha kwabathengi ukuze uthole uhlu lwamathoyizi abuyiselwe futhi ugweme ukuthenga imikhiqizo ehlatshwe umkhosi.
6. Gada isikhathi sokudlala: Qinisekisa ukuthi izingane aziwafaki amathoyizi emlonyeni, ikakhulukazi uma zijwayele ukuhlafuna noma ukumunca izinto.

Isidingo Semithetho Eqinile

Naphezu kokuqwashisa okwandayo, amathoyizi amaningi ayingozi asangena ezindlini ngenxa yokuntula umthetho nokuqwashisa umphakathi. Iziphathimandla kufanele zenze ukuhlola okuqinile, zibeke izijeziso ezinzima kakhulu kwabaphula umthetho, futhi zisakaze ukuqwashisa phakathi kwabathengi. Ukwengeza, abakhiqizi bamathoyizi kufanele baphendule ngemikhiqizo yabo, baqinisekise ukuthi bahlangabezana nezindinganiso eziqinile zokuphepha ngaphambi kokungena emakethe.

Isiphetho: Ukubeka Eqhulwini Ukuphepha Kwezingane

Njengabazali, abanakekeli, kanye nabasebenzi bezokunakekelwa kwempilo, kufanele sibambe iqhaza ekuvikeleni izingane ezingozini ezifihliwe. Ukukhetha amathoyizi aphephile akukhona nje ukuzijabulisa—kumayelana nokuqinisekisa ukukhula okunempilo kwengane nokuthuthuka kwayo. Ngokuhlala sinolwazi futhi simela imithetho eqinile, singavikela izizukulwane ezizayo ezingozini zokudlala ezinobuthi.
