Izipheki zegesi ziye zaba yinto eyisisekelo ekhishini emhlabeni wonke iminyaka eminingi, zithandwa ngenxa yokulawula ukushisa okusheshayo nokusebenza kahle. Kusukela ezintweni zakudala ezithandwa kakhulu ngomklamo wazo wakudala kuya kumamodeli amanje, ahlanzekile, lezi zinto zokusebenza ziyaqhubeka nokubusa emakhaya amaningi nasezindlini zokupheka zobuchwepheshe. Ukuthandwa kwazo akubangelwa kuphela ukulawula izinga lokushisa okunikezayo kodwa futhi nokonga izindleko zamandla uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izindlela zikagesi. Abakhiqizi abahamba phambili njengo-Doublemaxbaye bashintsha kule ngxenye, banikeza uhla lwezipheki zegesi ezihlanganisa ubuciko obusezingeni eliphezulu nobuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu. I-Doublemax, eyasungulwa ngo-2012, igqama ngokusebenzela imindeni engaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-20 emhlabeni wonke ngemikhiqizo ehambisana nokusebenza okuhle nokuklama okuhle, okuhlanganisa izinketho ezahlukahlukene ezifana ne-izipheki zegesi ezakhelwe ngaphakathi zengilazi kanye ne-izipheki zegesi zensimbi engagqwali.

Kubathengi abafuna ukonga imali ngaphandle kokudela ikhwalithi, izitofu zegesi ezingaphansi kuka-$300 sezaba yisinqumo esisebenzayo. Lezi zinhlobo zivame ukuhlanganisa izici ezibalulekile nezingxenye ezisebenziseka kalula, okwenza zifaneleke kubanikazi bezindlu bokuqala noma labo abanesabelomali esilinganiselwe. Ukutholakala kwemikhiqizo efana neWalton neRFL emakethe kuqinisekisa ukuhlukahluka kwezinketho, okudonsela izintandokazi ezahlukahlukene zabathengi. Kodwa-ke, ngenkathi ukuthandwa kwezitofu zegesi kuhlala kuqinile, kubalulekile ukuqonda izinkinga zezempilo nezemvelo ezihambisana nazo, ezikhangwa kakhulu ukucwaningwa.

Izifundo zakamuva ziveze ubungozi obungase bukhona empilweni obuhambisana nokusetshenziswa kwezithofu zegesi, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokungcola komoya wangaphakathi. Lapho kushiswa igesi yemvelo noma iphophayini, lezi zithofu zikhipha i-nitrogen dioxide (NO2), i-carbon monoxide (CO), kanye nezinhlayiya ezincane — izinto ezithinta umoya ezaziwa ngokuba nomthelela omubi ezinkingeni zokuphefumula njenge-asthma kanye ne-bronchitis. Izingane, asebekhulile, kanye nabantu abanezinkinga zokuphefumula ezikhona kakade bangazwela kakhulu kulezi zinto ezikhishwayo. Indawo evaliwe yamakhishi amaningi esesimanje ingaholela ekugcwabeni kwezinto ezithinta umoya uma umoya ungeneleli kahle.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, inqubo yokushisa ingakhipha izinhlayiya ezincane kakhulu ezingabonakali ngamehlo, okwengeza ekwehleni kwekhwalithi yomoya wangaphakathi. Ukuchayeka isikhathi eside kulezi zinto ezingcolisa umoya kuye kwaxhunyaniswa nokwanda kwezingozi zezifo zokuphefumula nezinye izimo zezempilo ezingapheli. Lobu bufakazi obusakhula buye bacela ochwepheshe bezempilo yomphakathi ukuthi beluleke ukuba kuthathwe izinyathelo zokuphepha eziningi nokwamukelwa kwezindlela zokupheka eziphephile ukuze kuncishiswe ubungozi bokuchayeka.

Ucwaningo lwesayensi eminyakeni yamuva nje luqine kakhulu ekugxileni ekukhishweni kwezinto ezivela ezitofini zegesi kanye nomthelela wazo empilweni yabantu. Izifundo ezishicilelwe kumajenali adumile zigcizelela ukuhlobana phakathi kokusetshenziswa kwezitofu zegesi namazinga aphezulu e-NO2 ngaphakathi endlini, angadlula amazinga ekhwalithi yomoya wangaphandle. Abacwaningi baphinde bahlolisise ukuthi lezi zinto ezikhishwayo zisebenzisana kanjani nezinye izinto ezingcolisa umoya ngaphakathi endlini, okungase kwandise imiphumela emibi kwezempilo.

Ucwaningo olulodwa olubalulekile luthole ukuthi imindeni esebenzisa izitofu zegesi ngaphandle kokungena komoya okufanele ibe nezinga eliphakeme kakhulu lezimpawu zokuphefumula ezinganeni, okubandakanya ukukhwehlela nokukhwehlela. Lezi zitholakele ziholele ekubizeni ukubuyekezwa kwemithetho namazinga athuthukisiwe wemishini. Ezinye izindawo manje zicubungula imihlahlandlela eqinile yekhwalithi yomoya wangaphakathi futhi zikhuthaza ukwamukelwa kobuchwepheshe bokupheka obunye obunciphisa noma obuqeda ukukhishwa komlilo.

Lolucwaningo lugcizelela ukubaluleka kokungena komoya kanye nezinzuzo ezingenzeka ngokushintshela ku-electric noma ku-induction cooktops zabathengi abanakekela impilo.

Izinto ezingcolisa umoya ezikhishwa yizipheki zikagesi zihlanganisa ikakhulukazi i-nitrogen dioxide, i-carbon monoxide, i-formaldehyde, kanye nezinto ezincane ezithwalwa umoya. I-nitrogen dioxide iyinto ebanga ukucasuka emgudwini wokuphefumula engenza izimpawu zokushwabana zibe zimbi futhi yehlise umsebenzi wamaphaphu. I-carbon monoxide, igesi elingenambala futhi engenaphunga, ingaholela ekubeni ubuthi emikhawulweni ephezulu, ibangele izinhlungu zekhanda, isiyezi, futhi ezimweni ezinzima, ukufa.

I-Formaldehyde, enye into eyenzeka, iyaziwa ngokuthi iyimbangela yomdlavuza engadala ukucasuka kwamehlo, ikhala, nomphimbo. Izinto ezithile ezivela ekushisweni okungaphelele zingangena zijule emaphashini, zibe nomthelela ezifweni zenhliziyo nemithambo kanye nezokuphefumula. Ukuhlanganiswa kwalawa maswidi kubeka ingozi enkulu kumkhwalithi womoya wangaphakathi, ikakhulukazi ekhishini elingenazo izindawo zokungenisa umoya.

Ukungenisa umoya kahle, njengokusebenzisa i-range hood esezingeni eliphezulu, kubalulekile ukunciphisa lezi zingozi. I-Doublemax inikeza izinhlobonhlobo zama-range hoods enzelwe ukubamba kahle nokukhipha ukungcola okuphekayo, namamodeli enzelwe ukuhambisana nezitofu zabo zegesi. Ngeminye imininingwane ngezixazululo zokungenisa umoya ezintsha, bona i-Ihudi elihlangene ikhasi.

Ukuboniseka emoyeni ophuma kumafutha kagesi akuhambisani kahle phakathi kwabantu bonke. Imindeni enezimali eziphansi kanye nemiphakathi ethukile ivame ukubhekana nezingozi eziphezulu ngenxa yemishini endala, engasebenzi kahle kanye nezinhlelo zokuphefumula ezinganele. Imindeni eminingi enjalo isebenzisa amafutha kagesi endala angase angabi nezici zokuphepha zanamuhla, okwandisa amazinga okungcolisa emakhaya. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinkinga zezimali zingavimbela ukufinyelela ezinketho ezihlanzekile noma izindlela zokufaka amahudi aphumelelayo nezinsiza zokuphefumula.

Lokhu kungafani kwandisa ukungalingani kwezempilo, njengoba lezi ziqeqebana zingase zivele zibhekane nobunzima obukhulu ezifweni zokuphefumula. Ukubhekana nalezi zinselele kudinga ukungenelela kwezomthetho womphakathi okukhuthaza ukufinyelela ezindleleni zokupheka eziphephile kanye nemfundo ngokuqeda ukuchayeka. Abakhiqizi abanjengoDoublemax banikela ngomzamo ngokuphakela izitofu zegesi ezahlukahlukene ezithengekayo nezingcono kakhulu, okuhlanganisa nezinketho ezingaphansi kuka-$300, eziqondiswe ekuthuthukiseni ukuphepha nokusebenza kwekhishi kubathengi abahlukahlukene.

Imboni kagesi iphendule izinkathazo ezikhulayo zezempilo ngokutshala imali ekuthuthukiseni imiklamo yezitofu ehambisa ukungcola kancane futhi yenze kube nokuphepha. Okusha kufaka phakathi izishisi ezivaliwe ezinciphisa ukuvuza kukagesi kanye nezinhlelo zokuvutha ezithuthukisiwe ezinciphisa ukushiswa okungaphelele. Abanye abakhiqizi nabo bayathuthukisa izinto zokusebenza ezihlanganisa ugesi negesi ukunikeza ezinye izindlela zokupheka ezihlanzekile.

Ngaphandle kwalokhu kuthuthuka, abagxeki baphikisana ngokuthi imboni kufanele yenze okuningi ukuze iphumelele ubuchwepheshe obungcolisa umoya futhi isekele ukuguqukela ezitofini zikagesi noma zokufaka. Ingxoxo iyaqhubeka njengoba izintandokazi zabathengi, imithetho yezemvelo, kanye nezinto ezibalulekile zezempilo ziguquka. Ngaleso sikhathi, imboni kagesi igcizelela ukulula, ukonga izindleko, kanye nokusebenza okupheka kwezitofu zegesi njengezinzuzo ezibalulekile.

Izipheki zikagesi zinomlando omkhulu ezindaweni eziningi, izindlela zokupheka kanye nezindlela zokupheka zivame ukuxhunyaniswa nemithombo yokushisa esekelwe emalangeni. Lokhu kuxhumana kwamasiko kuthinta ukumelana kwabathengi ekushintsheni uye kwezombane. Ngokwezepolitiki, ukulawulwa kwemishini kaphethiloli kuyahlukahluka kakhulu, uhulumeni abanye bakhuthaza ukwamukelwa kwezipheki zikagesi kanti abanye bagcina ukwesekwa kwemakethe kubuchwepheshe buka-gas.

Ukuhlangana kwesiko, ezomnotho, kanye nenqubomgomo kudala indawo eyinkimbinkimbi yokubumba ikusasa lemishini yokupheka ekhishini. Izinkampani ezifana ne-Doublemax kufanele zihambe kulezi zici ngokunikeza uhlu olubanzi lwemikhiqizo oluhambisana nezidingo ezahlukene zemakethe, okuhlanganisa izipheki zikagesi ezindala ezihle kanye namamodeli esimanje, asebenza kahle. Ukuzibophezela kwabo ekuqambeni izinto ezintsha kanye nokwaneliseka kwamakhasimende kubabeka kahle kule ndawo eguquguqukayo.

Ukunciphisa ubungozi bezempilo ngenkathi kuqhubeka ukusetshenziswa kweziko likagesi, izincomo eziningana zokuphepha zibalulekile. Okokuqala, qinisekisa ukungena komoya okwanele ekhishini ngokusebenzisa i-range hood enamandla noma ukuvula amafasitela ngesikhathi sokupheka. Izixazululo ze-range hood ze-Doublemax, njenge-I-range hood emise okwenqaba, inikeza ukukhipha okusebenzayo kukaswidi nomoya ongcolisa umoya okungathuthukisa kakhulu ikhwalithi yomoya wangaphakathi.

Ukugcinwa njalo kwezitofu zegesi kubalulekile, kufaka phakathi ukuhlolwa okwesikhathi esifanele ukuze kutholwe ukuvuza nokulungiswa okufanele kwezishisi ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukushiswa okuphelele. Ukusebenzisa ifeni yokukhipha umoya yesitofu kanye nokunciphisa izikhathi zokupheka kunganciphisa nokuqoqeka kwezinto ezingcolisa umoya. Imindeni ecabanga ngokushintsha, ukuhlola izitofu zikagesi noma zokufaka kungase kunikeze izinzuzo ezinhle zezempilo kanye nezemvelo esikhathini eside.

Izipheki zikagesi zihlala ziyisisekelo esithandwayo nesisebenzayo ekhishini, ezaziswa ngokusebenza kwazo nokuba ngamanani aphansi. Noma kunjalo, ukwazi ngezingozi zezempilo ezihambisana nazo ngenxa yokukhishwa kwezinto ezingcolisa umoya endlini kuyanda emhlabeni wonke. Abathengi nabomthetho ngokufanayo kumele balinganise imikhuba yokupheka, izinto zezomnotho, kanye nokucatshangelwa kwezempilo lapho bekhetha izipheki zokupheka.

Abakhiqizi njengo-Doublemax badlala indima ebalulekile ngokuhlinzeka ngezitofu zegesi ezintsha, ezisezingeni eliphezulu kanye nezixazululo zokungenisa umoya ezikhuthaza ukusetshenziswa okuphephile.
