Kungani ama-alamu e-carbon monoxide (CO) kungadingeki afakwe eduze kwephansi?

Umbono ovamile ongaqondile mayelana nokuthi kuphiisitholi se-carbon monoxideUma kufanele ifakwe kufanele ibekwe phansi odongeni, njengoba abantu bekholelwa ngephutha ukuthi i-carbon monoxide inzima kunomoya. Kodwa empeleni, i-carbon monoxide incane kancane kunomoya, okusho ukuthi ivame ukusabalala ngokulinganayo emoyeni kunokuba ihlale phansi nje. Ngokusho kwe-National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Carbon Monoxide Safety Guide (NFPA 720, Uhlelo luka-2005), indawo enconywayo yokufaka i-carbon monoxide “ingaphandle kwendawo ngayinye yokulala ehlukene eduze kwekamelo lokulala” futhi lawa ma-alamu “kufanele afakwe ezindongeni, ophahleni noma njengoba kuchaziwe ngenye indlela emiyalweni yokufaka enikezwe ngedivayisi.”

Kungani bezimele bodwaama-alamu e-carbon monoxidekuvame ukubekwa eduze nephansi?

Nakuba kungasekelwe ezicini zomzimba ze-carbon monoxide, kuzimelei-alamu yomlilo ye-carbon monoxidezivame ukubekwa eduze nephansi ngoba zidinga ukufinyelela endaweni yokukhipha umoya. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lawa ma-alamu azofakwa endaweni ephakeme ebonakala kalula ukuze kube lula ukufunda isibonisi sokuhlushwa kwe-carbon monoxide.

 

Kungani kunganconywa ukufakaisitholi sokuvuza se-carbon monoxideeduze kwezinto zokushisa noma zokupheka?

Kubalulekile ukugwema ukufakai-alamu yokuthola i-carbon monoxidengqo ngaphezulu noma eduze kwemishini esetshenziswa uphethiloli, njengoba imishini ingakhipha isikhashana inani elincane le-carbon monoxide uma isebenza. Ngakho-ke,izitholi ze-carbon monoxidekufanele okungenani ibe ngamamitha ayishumi nanhlanu ukusuka ezintweni zokushisa noma zokupheka. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, akufanele ifakwe ezindaweni ezinomswakama njengezindlu zangasese noma eduze kwazo ukuvimbela i-alamu ukuba ingonakaliswa umswakama.
