He aha nā hopena o ka fiberglass i ke kino o ke kanaka?

Ma muli o ke ʻano palupalu o nā olonā aniani, haki lākou i nā ʻāpana olonā pōkole. Wahi a nā hoʻokolohua lōʻihi i mālama ʻia e ka World Health Organization a me nā hui ʻē aʻe, hiki ke hanu hohonu ʻia nā olonā me ke anawaena ma lalo o 3 microns a me ka lakio hiʻohiʻona ma mua o 5:1 i loko o nā māmā o ke kanaka. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā olonā aniani a mākou e hoʻohana pinepine ai ma mua o 3 microns ke anawaena, no laila ʻaʻohe pono e hopohopo nui e pili ana i nā pōʻino o ka māmā.

Nā haʻawina hoʻoheheʻe in vivo onā olonā anianiua hōʻike ʻia e hoʻonui a hoʻomāhuahua nā microcracks ma luna o ka ʻili o nā olonā aniani i ka wā o ka hana ʻana ma lalo o ka hoʻouka ʻana o nā wai māmā alkaline nāwaliwali, e hoʻonui ana i ko lākou ʻili a e hoʻemi ana i ka ikaika o nā olonā aniani, a laila e wikiwiki ai i ko lākou hōʻino ʻia. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina e hoʻoheheʻe loa nā olonā aniani i loko o nā māmā i loko o 1.2 a 3 mau mahina.

Wahi a nā pepa noiʻi ma mua, ʻo ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻopili ʻana (ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi makahiki ma nā hihia ʻelua) o nā ʻiole a me nā ʻiole i ka lewa e loaʻa ana nā ʻano kiʻekiʻe o nā olonā aniani (ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi haneli manawa o ke kaiapuni hana) ʻaʻohe hopena koʻikoʻi i ka fibrosis māmā a i ʻole ka hanana ʻana o ka tumor, a ʻo ke kau ʻana wale nō o nā olonā aniani i loko o ka pleura o nā holoholona i hōʻike i ka fibrosis i loko o nā māmā. ʻAʻole i loaʻa i kā mākou mau noiʻi olakino o nā limahana ma ka ʻoihana olonā aniani i nīnau ʻia kahi piʻi nui o ka hanana o ka pneumoconiosis, ka maʻi ʻaʻai māmā, a i ʻole ka fibrosis pulmonary, akā ua ʻike ʻia ua emi ka hana māmā o nā limahana i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka heluna kanaka maʻamau.

ʻOiainā olonā anianiʻaʻole lākou e hoʻoweliweli i ke ola, ʻo ka pili pololei ʻana me nā olonā aniani hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka huhū ikaika i ka ʻili a me nā maka, a ʻo ka hanu ʻana i nā ʻāpana lepo i loaʻa nā olonā aniani e hoʻonāukiuki i nā ala ihu, trachea, a me ka ʻāʻī. ʻO nā hōʻailona o ka huhū he mau mea kikoʻī ʻole a no ka manawa pōkole a hiki ke komo pū me ka maneʻo, ka ʻū ʻana a i ʻole ka wheezing. ʻO ka hōʻike nui ʻana i ka fiberglass ea e hoʻonui i nā kūlana hānō a i ʻole bronchitis. Ma ke ʻano laulā, e emi iho nā hōʻailona pili iā lākou iho ke neʻe aku ka mea i hōʻike ʻia mai ke kumu o kafiberglassno kekahi manawa.
