Ukuqonda i-Radon Ukunciphisa
Ukunciphisa i-Radon kubhekisela ezindleleni ezisetshenziselwa ukwehlisa izinga likagesi ka- radon emakhaya ethu. Uma amazinga e-radon aphakanyisiwe atholakala ngokuhlolwa kwe-radon , futhi ekulungiswe, sasizokwazi ukuvimbela abantu abangu-20 000 abafelwa umdlavuza wamaphaphu e-United States unyaka ngamunye.
Ngivame ukubuza umbuzo: "Angikwazi yini ukuvula amafasitela ukuze nginciphise izinga lika-radon ekhaya lami?" Ngeshwa, ukugcina imindeni yethu iphephile emiphumeleni edala umdlavuza we-radon gas akuyona into elula.
I-Radon gas igesi elingabonakali, elingenangenhla elikhiqizwa ukuwohloka okuvamile kwe-uranium emhlabathini. I-Radon ingena emakhaya ethu ngokusebenzisa imifantu esisekelweni, izivulo ezungeze amaphampu kanye ne-drain, futhi ngezikhala ezizungeze amapayipi nezintambo. Nakuba ezinye izifunda zamazinga aphezulu ase-UShave, amazinga aphakanyisiwe atholakale emakhaya kuwo wonke amazwe angu-50 , futhi kulinganiselwa ukuthi imizi eyodwa kwabangu-15 e-United States iye yaphakamisa amazinga ka-radon
Ngabe Ukunciphisa I-Radon Kunconywe?
I-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) isincoma ukulungisa ikhaya lakho uma izinga le-radon lingaphezu kwe-4 pCi / L (pico Curies per Liter). Baphinde bathi abantu kufanele bacabange ukulungiswa uma izinga liwela phakathi kwe-2 pCi / L ne-4 pCi / L. Ayaziwa ukuthi yiliphi igesi lika-radon emakhaya ethu kubhekwa sengathi liphephile, kodwa i-United States Congress ihlongoze umgomo wesikhathi eside wokuba namazinga ka-radon emakhaya ayikho enkulu kunaleyo yezinga lika-radon emoyeni wangaphandle - 0.4 pCi / L.
Njengamanje, izinga le-radon eliphakathi kwamakhaya ase-US ngu-1.3 pCi / L.
Ukubaluleka kwe-Radon Ukunciphisa Ukuvimbela I-Cancer Prevention
I-Radon yimbangela yesibili ehola umdlavuza wamaphaphu kanye nenombolo eyodwa yomdlavuza wamaphaphu kwabangewona abokubhema .
Izindlela ze-Radon Ukunciphisa
Ukuze unciphise amazinga egesi e-radon ekhaya lakho, ochwepheshe be-radon ukunciphisa ngokuvamile babheka izindlela zokuvimbela u-radon ukungena ekhaya lakho, kanye nezindlela zokunciphisa izinga lika-radon esivele likhona ekhaya lakho.
Ukunciphisa izidakamizwa okwenziwa ngumsebenzi oqeqeshiwe kunganciphisa amazinga ka-radon angaphansi kuka-2 pCi / L emanzini amaningi.
Ukuvimbela i-Radon ekungeneni ikhaya lakho
Ukufaka iziphazamiso esisekelweni nasezindaweni ezivulekile ezungeze amanzi namapayipi kungasiza ekuvimbeleni i-radon ukungena ekhaya lakho. Njengoba lezi zilinganiso azizange ziboniswe njalo emazingeni aphansi e-radon, izindlela zokunciphisa ama-radon asevele zikhona ekhaya lakho nazo zinconywa.
Izinga Zokunciphisa I-Radon Ngethuba Lakho
Izindlela ezimbalwa ezisetshenziselwa ukususa i-radon emoyeni wangaphakathi, futhi lezi zingahlukahluka, kuye ngokuthi ngabe ikhaya lakho linesakhiwo esingaphansi, isikhala sokuqhakaziza noma sakhiwe esikhwameni sokukhonkolo. Eziningi zalezi zindlela zihilela uhlobo oluthile lokubhoboza umbhobho olwenzelwe ukudweba igesi lika-radon emhlabathini ngaphansi komuzi wakho kanye nomuntu ovuthayo (ukukhululwa) i-radon gas kuya emoyeni wangaphandle.
Ukunciphisa i-Radon kuNew Construction
Uma wakha ikhaya elisha, buza mayelana nokwakhiwa kwe-radon-resistant. Ukuze uthole ukuthi yini okufanele ucele umakhi wakho, noma ukuthola umakhi ogxile ekwakhiweni okungavumelani kwe-radon, vakashela iwebhusayithi ye-EPA nge-radon. Ukukhetha ukwakhiwa kwe-radon okunganqamuki kungabiza kakhulu kunokuba kulungiswe inkinga ye-radon ngemuva kokuthi ikhaya lakho selivele lakhiwe.
Ukuthola Ochwepheshe Abafanelekile
Kubalulekile ukuthola ochwepheshe abaqeqeshiwe ukwenza ukunciphisa i-radon. Amanye amazwe anesidingo esithile sokusebenza kwezinhlelo zokunciphisa i-radon. Ukuxhumana nombuso wakho we-radon kungakunika uhlu lwezazi eziqinisekisiwe zokunciphisa i-radon endaweni yakini.
I-EPA inehlu lokuhlola ongawugcwalisa uma uhlola futhi uqhathanisa izinkontileka zokunciphisa i-radon.
Izindleko zokunciphisa i-Radon
Izindleko zokunciphisa i-radon ngokuvamile zigijima phakathi kuka- $ 800 no-$ 2,500, ngezindleko ezilinganiselwa ku-$ 1,200. I-EPA inehlu lokufaka isilinganiso sokufaka kanye nezindleko zokusebenza zezindlela zokunciphisa ezivamile.
Ukwakhiwa okusha kwe-radon ngokuvamile kuvimbela umakhi phakathi kuka-$ 250 no-$ 750.
Uma uphikisana ngokuthi izindleko zokunciphisa i-radon zizuzisa kulo mnotho, kungaba usizo ukubukeza izibalo ezimbalwa zomdlavuza wamaphaphu. Umdlavuza we-Lung iyimbangela eholela ekufeni okuhlobene nomdlavuza kokubili amadoda nabesifazane e-United States, futhi i-radon iyimbangela yesibili eholela emdlalweni wamaphaphu. Okunye ukuqhathanisa kungasiza ukubeka lokhu ngendlela efanele. Kulindeleke ukuthi abantu abangu-27 000 bafe e-United States ngo-2016 kusukela emdlalweni we-lung emaphaphu we-radon. Kulindeleke ukuthi abesifazane abangu-40 000 bafe e-United States ngo-2016 kusukela emdlalweni webele. Ukwazi lokhu, kuyamangaza ukuthi asizwa okuningi mayelana nokunciphisa i-radon - ikakhulukazi kusukela lapho kuvezwa khona i-radon kufanele, ngokusobala, kungavinjelwa ngokuphelele.
Beka okunye ukukhanya, ngaphezu kwesifo esibuhlungu kanye nezindleko zokwelapha umdlavuza wamaphaphu, izindleko zidlulela ngaphezu kwalabo abathintekayo abanesifo. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi izindleko zomnakekeli (izindleko zesikhathi esidingekayo othandekayo enakekela umuntu onomdlavuza wamaphaphu) zibiza ngaphezu kwezingu-73,000 zamaRandi. Wena nomndeni wakho nifanele!
Izimo Ezikhethekile
Ngaphandle kokungena ekhaya lakho emhlabathini, i-radon kungenzeka ibe khona emanzini amnandi, noma ezintweni esizethula emakhaya ethu afana nama- counterparts we-granite . Uma ukhathazekile ngokuthi kungenzeka i-radon emanzini wakho, hlola uxhumane nombuso wakho we-radon. Ukwaziswa okujwayelekile mayelana ne-radon emanzini okuphuza kuyatholakala nge-Hotline E-Safe Drinking Hotline e-EPA ku-1-800-426-4791.
Uma amazinga ka-radon ephakanyisiwe ekuhlinzekeni kwamanzi, kunezinketho ezimbili zokwelapha:
- I-point-of-Entry Treatment - Le ndlela iphatha amanzi ukususa i-radon ngaphambi kokuthi ingene ekhaya lakho.
- I-Point-of-Use Treatment - Le nqubo isusa i-radon emanzini okuphuza kumpompi wakho. Njengoba i-radon idedelwa emoyeni emanzini (njengalapho ehlanjululwayo) inokukhathazeka okukhulu kuno-radon okugonywe, ukwelashwa kokungena-kokungena kuyindlela yokwelashwa ethandwayo.
