Iyini imiphumela ye-fiberglass emzimbeni womuntu?

Ngenxa yokuthi imicu yengilazi iyaphuka, ihlukana ibe yizicucu zemicu emifushane. Ngokusho kokuhlolwa kwesikhathi eside okwenziwe yi-World Health Organization kanye nezinye izinhlangano, imicu enobubanzi obungaphansi kwama-micron amathathu kanye nesilinganiso se-aspect esingaphezu kuka-5:1 ingaphefumulwa ijule emaphashini omuntu. Imicu yengilazi esivame ukuyisebenzisa ngokuvamile inkulu kune-micron ezintathu ububanzi, ngakho-ke asikho isidingo sokukhathazeka ngokweqile ngezingozi zamaphaphu.

Izifundo zokuncibilika emzimbeniimicu yengilazikukhombisile ukuthi imifantu emincane ekhona ebusweni bemicu yengilazi ngesikhathi sokucubungula izokhula futhi ijule ngaphansi kokuhlaselwa uketshezi lwamaphaphu olune-alkaline ebuthakathaka, kwandise indawo yalo ebusweni futhi kunciphise amandla emicu yengilazi, ngaleyo ndlela kusheshiswe ukuwohloka kwayo. Izifundo zikhombisile ukuthi imicu yengilazi iyancibilika ngokuphelele emaphashini ezinyangeni eziyi-1.2 kuya kweziyi-3.

Ngokusho kwamaphepha ocwaningo angaphambilini, ukuchayeka isikhathi eside (ngaphezu konyaka owodwa kuzo zombili izimo) kwamagundane namagundane emoyeni oqukethe amazinga aphezulu emicu yengilazi (okuphindwe izikhathi ezingaphezu kwekhulu endaweni yokukhiqiza) akuzange kube nomthelela omkhulu ekushayweni kwamaphaphu noma ekusabalaleni kwesimila, futhi ukufakwa kwemicu yengilazi kuphela ngaphakathi kwe-pleura yezilwane kwembule i-fibrosis emaphashini. Ucwaningo lwethu lwezempilo lwabasebenzi embonini yemicu yengilazi okukhulunywa ngayo aluzange luthole ukwanda okukhulu kwezehlakalo ze-pneumoconiosis, umdlavuza wamaphaphu, noma i-pulmonary fibrosis, kodwa luthole ukuthi umsebenzi wamaphaphu walabo basebenzi wehlisiwe uma kuqhathaniswa nomphakathi jikelele.

Nakubaimicu yengilazingokwazo azibeki ingozi empilweni, ukuthintana ngqo nemicu yengilazi kungabangela umuzwa onamandla wokucasuka esikhumbeni nasemahlweni, kanti ukuhogela izinhlayiya zothuli eziqukethe imicu yengilazi kungacasuka imigudu yamakhala, umphimbo kanye nomphimbo. Izimpawu zokucasuka ngokuvamile azicaci futhi zesikhashana futhi zingafaka ukulunywa, ukukhwehlela noma ukuphefumula. Ukuchayeka okukhulu ku-fiberglass emoyeni kungadala isimo esikhona se-asthma noma se-bronchitis. Ngokuvamile, izimpawu ezihlobene nazo ziyaphela zodwa lapho umuntu ovezwe eshiya umthombo walesi sifo.i-fiberglassisikhathi esithile.
