Nakuba izinkinga eziningi zempilo ziphakama ngezinhlayiya ezihamba emoyeni, abantu bavame ukuxega ngekhwalithi yomoya emizileni yabo yokuhamba. Amadivayisi amasha abathengi ahlose ukushintsha lokho ngokunikeza izilinganiso zokungcola kwesikhathi sangempela. 

Umongo wezinto ezigqokekayo ze-Biohazard

Izinto ezigqokwayo ze-Biohazard ngamathuluzi asetshenziselwa ukuqapha ukuchayeka kwabantu ezintweni ezingcolisa imvelo eziyingozi njengezinhlayiyana kanye negciwane le-SARS-CoV-2. Amadivayisi okuqapha asekhaya afana ne-Speck ikakhulukazi asebenza ngokubala, ukulinganisa, nokuhlukanisa izinhlayiya ngokwezigaba ngokubala izithunzi eziphonswe nge-laser beam, ikakhulukazi mayelana ne-particle. 

Idivayisi efanayo edizayinwe abacwaningi Bamanyuvesi ase-Michigan, Michigan State, nase-Oakland ihlose ngisho nokuhlinzeka ngemizila ehlanzekile kubathengi ngesikhathi sangempela. Ukuthola i-SARS-CoV-2, i-Fresh Air Clip evela e-American Chemical Society isebenzisa indawo yamakhemikhali ekhethekile emunca leli gciwane ngaphandle kokudinga noma yimuphi umthombo wamandla. Ingahlolwa kamuva ukukala ukugxila kwegciwane. Abacwaningi bake basebenzisa imishini ekhethekile ebizwa ngama-active air sampling devices ukuthola leli gciwane ezindaweni ezingaphakathi. Kodwa-ke, lezi ziqapha azikwazi ukusetshenziswa kabanzi ngoba zibiza, zinkulu, futhi aziphatheki.

Isidingo semishini enjalo siye sakhuphuka njengoba amazinga okungcola enyuka, okwenza abacwaningi basebenzele ukwakha izinto ezigqokekayo ezingasiza abagijimi, abahamba ngezinyawo, kanye neziguli ezinezifo zokuphefumula ukuthi zihlonze futhi zigweme imizila engcolisa kakhulu. Umqedazwe we-COVID-2020 ka-19 uphinde waqinisa isidingo sokuthi abantu bathole izinto ezigqokekayo ezingabizi ezibavumela ukuthi bahlole izici zabo zobungozi.   

Umthelela ophazamisayo 

Njengoba izinto ezigqokwa nge-biohazard sezivamile, abasebenzi bazokwazi ukuhlola izimo zabo zokusebenza futhi bathathe izinyathelo ezifanele zokunciphisa ubungozi. Ukuqwashisa okusabalele kungaholela ezinyathelweni ezibaluleke kakhulu futhi, ngaleyo ndlela, kwehle izingozi. Isibonelo, njengoba abasebenzi bebona izinga lokuchayeka kumagciwane ezindaweni lapho ukuqhelelana ngokomzimba kungenzeki khona, bangaqinisekisa ukuthi basebenzisa amagiya okuzivikela nezindlela ezifanele zokukhucululwa kwendle. Njengoba amamodeli ekhishwa ukuze adayiswe, amabhizinisi amaningi angalindelwa ukuthi athuthuke futhi aqhamuke nezinguqulo ezibuyekeziwe. 

Ukwengeza, abasebenzi bezempilo bangasebenzisa okugqokwayo kwe-biohazard ukuze bazivikele ezifweni ezithathelwanayo kuyilapho benikeza ukunakekelwa ezigulini. Kuzikhulu zomthetho, izicishamlilo, nabanye abasabeli bokuqala, lezi zixhobo zingasetshenziselwa ukuzivikela ezintweni eziyingozi ngenkathi zisabela ezimeni eziphuthumayo. Izisebenzi ezimbonini nasezindaweni zokugcina impahla nazo zingagqoka lezi zinto ezigqokwa yi-biohazard ukuze zilinganise izinga lokungcola ezichayeka kukho nsuku zonke, ikakhulukazi ukukhiqizwa kwepulasitiki namakhemikhali.

Nokho, kusenezinselele ekusetshenzisweni okusabalele kwalezi zisetshenziswa. Ngaphandle kwezindleko eziphezulu ngenxa yokutholakala okuphansi (kusukela ngo-2022), ukusebenza kahle kwalawa madivaysi kuncike kungozi ethile athuthukiswayo ukuyibona. Ukwengeza, ingqalasizinda esekelayo kufanele ibe khona, njengamasathelayithi kanye ne-inthanethi Yezinto (IoT), ukuze kwandiswe amandla alawa mathuluzi. Kudingeka futhi kube nemithethonqubo ecacile yokuthi la mathuluzi azogaywa kanjani kabusha ukuze avinjwe ukuthi angabe esaba negalelo ekungcolisweni kwekhabhoni.

Imithelela yezinto ezigqokekayo ze-biohazard

Imithelela ebanzi yezinto ezigqokekayo ze-biohazard ingase ihlanganise:

• Ikhwalithi engcono yempilo yezisulu zesifo sokuphefumula ngokukhuphuka kokulawulwa kokuchayeka kokungcolisa. 
• Ingcindezi ezinhlanganweni ezizimele nezikahulumeni zokuthuthukisa izinga lomoya njengoba ukwanda kokuqwashisa emphakathini.
• Ukuqwashisa okukhulu ngomehluko phakathi kwamazinga okungcola emiphakathini entulayo nencishwe amathuba. 
• Ukwandisa ukuqwashisa ngezimboni ezingcolisa kakhulu, njengezokukhiqiza nezokuthutha, okuholela ekutshalweni kwezimali okumbalwa kule mikhakha.
• Ukuvikelwa okungcono kanye nokunciphisa izifo eziwumshayabhuqe nezifo eziwubhadane ezizayo.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Ingabe ulindele ukuthi lezi zixhobo zibe nokwenzeka ukuze zisetshenziswe emazweni asathuthuka achayeke kumazinga aphezulu okungcola?
• Ingabe ulindele ushintsho olukhulu ekuboneni umphakathi mayelana nemvelo ngemva kokufinyelela okulula kumadivayisi angakala ukuchayeka kokungcolisa?
