Ikhwalithi yomoya ephansi yasendlini ekhaya ixhunyaniswa nemiphumela yezempilo kubantu bayo yonke iminyaka. Imiphumela ehlobene yezempilo yengane ehlobene ihlanganisa izinkinga zokuphefumula, izifo zesifuba, isisindo sokuzalwa esiphansi, ukubeletha ngaphambi kwesikhathi, ukuphefumula, ukungezwani komzimba, i-eczema, izinkinga zesikhumba, ukushuba ngokweqile, ukunganaki, ukulala kanzima, amehlo abuhlungu nokungenzi kahle esikoleni.

Ngesikhathi sokuvalwa, abaningi bethu kungenzeka ukuthi bachithe isikhathi esiningi besendlini, ngakho-ke indawo yasendlini ibaluleke kakhulu. Kubalulekile ukuthi sithathe izinyathelo zokunciphisa ukuchayeka kwethu kokungcola futhi kuphoqelekile ukuthi sithuthukise ulwazi ukuze sinikeze umphakathi amandla okwenza kanjalo.

I-Indoor Air Quality Working Party inamathiphu amathathu aphezulu:

• GWEMA ukuletha ukungcola endlini
• SUSA imithombo yokungcola endlini
• YEHLISA ukuchayeka, nokusebenzisa, imikhiqizo engcolisayo nemisebenzi yasendlini

Susa ukungcola endlini

Eminye imisebenzi edala ukungcola ayinakugwenywa ngaphakathi endlini. Kulezi zimo ungathatha izinyathelo zokuthuthukisa umoya wasendlini, ngokuvamile ngokusebenzisa umoya omncane ukuze unciphise ukugxiliswa kokungcola.

Ukuhlanza

• Hlanza njalo futhi ukhiphe ukuze unciphise uthuli, ususe izinhlamvu zesikhunta futhi unciphise nemithombo yokudla yezibungu eziwuthuli lwasendlini.
• Hlanza njalo izindawo zokuthinta eziphezulu njengezibambo zeminyango ukuze unciphise ukusabalala kwe-coronavirus nezinye izifo ngaphakathi ekhaya.
• Hlanza noma yisiphi isikhunta esibonakalayo.

Ukugwema Allergen

Ukuthatha izinyathelo zokunciphisa ukuchayeka ezinto ezingezwani nokuhogela (kusuka ezibungwini zothuli lwasendlini, isikhunta kanye nezilwane ezifuywayo) kunconywa ukunciphisa izimpawu kanye nokwanda. Ngokuya nge-allergies, izinyathelo ezingasiza zihlanganisa:

• Ukunciphisa uthuli nokuswakama ekhaya.
• Ukunciphisa izinto eziqoqa uthuli njengamathoyizi athambile futhi, uma kungenzeka, ukufaka ama-flooring aqinile esikhundleni sikakhaphethi.
• Ukugeza izingubo zokulala kanye nesembozo (ku-60°C njalo ngemva kwamasonto amabili) noma ukusebenzisa amakhava angakwazi ukumunca umzimba wonke.
• Ukugwema ukuchayeka ngqo ezifuyweni ezinoboya uma ingane izwela.
