Inā ʻoe e hana ana ma kahi mamao, kula home a i ʻole e ʻimi wale ana i ka wā e maʻalili ai ka lewa, ʻo ka hoʻolilo ʻana i ka manawa hou i kou home ʻo ia ka mea ua loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi manawa e hoʻokokoke a pilikino me kāna mau mea āpau. A e noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe, "He aha kēlā ʻala?" a i ʻole, "No ke aha wau e hoʻomaka ai i ka ʻū ʻana ke hana wau i loko o koʻu lumi kaʻawale i hoʻololi ʻia i keʻena?"
Hoʻokahi mea hiki: ʻAʻole i kūpono ka maikaʻi o ka ea i loko o kou home (IAQ).
Hiki ke hoʻopilikia maikaʻi ʻole ʻia kou olakino ma ka mold, radon, pet dander, ka uahi paka a me ka carbon monoxide. "Hoʻohana mākou i ka hapa nui o ko mākou manawa i loko o ka hale, no laila he mea nui ka ea e like me ka mea ma waho," wahi a Albert Rizzo, he pulmonologist ma Newark, Del., a me ka luna lapaʻau nui no kaʻAhahui Lung ʻAmelika.
ʻO Radon, he kinoea ʻala ʻole, kala ʻole, ʻo ia ka lua o ke kumu nui o ka maʻi kanesa ma hope o ka puhi ʻana. ʻO ka carbon monoxide, inā haʻalele ʻole ʻia, hiki ke make. Hiki ke hoʻonui i ka maʻi hanu i nā mea hoʻoheheʻe maʻemaʻe (VOC), i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e nā mea kūkulu hale a me nā huahana hale. Hiki i nā mea ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe ke kumu o ka hanu ʻana, ka paʻa o ka umauma a i ʻole ka hū ʻana. Hoʻopili pū ʻia me ka piʻi nui ʻana o nā hanana cardiological, wahi a Jonathan Parsons, he pulmonologist ma ke Kulanui o Ohio State.Wexner Medical Center. Me kēia mau pōʻino olakino e hūnā ana, he aha ka mea e hiki ai i nā mea hale ke hana e hōʻoia i ka palekana o ka ea a puni lākou?
Inā kūʻai ʻoe i home, ʻike ʻia nā pilikia IAQ, ʻoi aku ka radon, i ka wā o ka nānā ʻana i ka home i hōʻoia ʻia. Ma waho aʻe o kēlā, ʻaʻole ʻōlelo ʻo Parsons i nā mea maʻi e hoʻāʻo ʻia ka maikaʻi o ka ea home me ke kumu ʻole. "Ma kaʻu ʻike lapaʻau, ʻike ʻia ka hapa nui o nā mea hoʻomaka ma ka nānā ʻana i ka mōʻaukala olakino o ka mea maʻi," wahi āna. “He ʻoiaʻiʻo ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka ea, akā ʻike ʻia ka hapa nui o nā pilikia: nā holoholona, ka umu ahi, ka ʻōpala ma ka paia, nā mea āu e ʻike ai. Inā kūʻai ʻoe a hoʻoponopono hou paha a loaʻa kahi pilikia nui, a laila pono ʻoe e mālama pono iā ia, akā ʻo kahi wahi o ka ʻauʻau i loko o kou ʻauʻau ʻauʻau a i ʻole ke kapena e maʻalahi ke hoʻokele iā ʻoe iho.
I ka hapanui o nā hihia, ʻaʻole ʻōlelo ka Environmental Protection Agency i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka home IAQ. "He ʻokoʻa kēlā me kēia kaiapuni i loko, no laila ʻaʻohe hoʻāʻo e hiki ke ana i nā ʻano āpau o ka IAQ i kou home," i kākau ai kahi ʻōlelo a ke keʻena ma kahi leka uila. “Eia kekahi, ʻaʻohe EPA a i ʻole nā palena federal i hoʻonohonoho ʻia no ka maikaʻi o ka ea o loko a i ʻole ka nui o nā mea haumia i loko; no laila, ʻaʻohe kūlana federal e hoʻohālikelike i nā hopena o ka laʻana."
Akā inā ʻuʻu ʻoe, pōkole ka hanu, ʻūhū a i ʻole nā poʻo poʻo mau, pono paha ʻoe e lilo i mākaʻi. “ʻOku ou kole ki he kau maʻu fale ke nau tauhi ha tohinoa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē,” ko e lau ia ʻa Jay Stake, peresideni ʻo eʻAhahui ʻĀpana Kūleʻa Kūloko(IAQA). “Hōʻeha ʻoe i kou hele ʻana i ka lumi kuke, akā maikaʻi i ke keʻena? Kōkua kēia i ka ʻole i ka pilikia a hiki ke mālama iā ʻoe i ke kālā ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka loiloi maikaʻi o ka ea i loko.
ʻAe ʻo Rizzo. “E makaala. Aia kekahi mea a i ʻole kahi e hōʻino a maikaʻi paha kāu mau hōʻailona? E nīnau iā ʻoe iho, 'He aha ka mea i loli i koʻu home? Aia ka poino wai a i ʻole ke kapena hou? Ua hoʻololi anei au i nā mea holoi a hoʻomaʻemaʻe paha?' ʻO kahi koho koʻikoʻi: Haʻalele i kou home no kekahi mau pule a ʻike inā e hoʻomaikaʻi kāu mau hōʻailona, "wahi āna.
