Waba ukora akazi ko mu rugo, wigisha abana mu rugo cyangwa wicaye gusa uko ikirere kigenda gikonja, kumarana igihe kinini mu rugo rwawe bivuze ko wagize amahirwe yo kwegerana no kumenya ibintu byose bidasanzwe. Ibyo bishobora gutuma wibaza uti “Iyo mpumuro ni iyihe?” cyangwa uti “Kuki ntangira gukorora iyo nkora mu cyumba cyanjye cy’ubwiherero cyahinduwe ibiro?”
Kimwe mu bishoboka: Ireme ry'umwuka wo mu nzu yawe (IAQ) rishobora kuba ritari ryiza cyane.
Ifu, radon, uruhu rw'amatungo, umwotsi w'itabi na monoxyde de carbone bishobora kugira ingaruka mbi ku buzima bwawe. Albert Rizzo, inzobere mu by'imitsi yo mu bihaha i Newark, muri Del., akaba n'umuganga mukuru ushinzwe ubuvuzi muri iki kigo, agira ati: “Tumara igihe kinini mu nzu, bityo umwuka uba ingenzi nk'uwo hanze.”Ishyirahamwe ry'Abanyamerika ry'Ibihaha.
Radoni, umwuka utagira impumuro kandi utagira ibara, ni yo mpamvu ya kabiri itera kanseri y'ibihaha inyuma yo kunywa itabi. Monoxide ya karuboni, iyo itagenzuwe, ishobora kwica. Ibinyabutabire bihindagurika (VOCs), biva mu bikoresho by'ubwubatsi n'ibikoresho byo mu rugo, bishobora kongera indwara z'ubuhumekero. Izindi ngirabuzimafatizo zishobora gutera kubura umwuka, kuziba mu gituza cyangwa guhumeka. Jonathan Parsons, inzobere mu by'indwara z'umutima muri Kaminuza ya Leta ya Ohio, avuga ko bifitanye isano kandi n'ibyago byo kwiyongera kw'indwara z'umutima.Ikigo Nderabuzima cya Wexner. Kubera ko hari ibi bintu byose bishobora guteza akaga ku buzima, ba nyir'amazu bashobora gukora iki kugira ngo barebe neza ko umwuka ubakikije ari mwiza?
Niba urimo kugura inzu, ibibazo byose bya IAQ, cyane cyane radon, bishobora kugaragara mu gihe cyo gusuzuma inzu byemejwe mbere yo kugurisha. Uretse ibyo, Parsons ntabwo agira inama abarwayi yo gupimisha umwuka wabo wo mu rugo nta mpamvu. Yagize ati: “Mu bunararibonye bwanjye mu buvuzi, ibintu byinshi bitera indwara bigaragazwa no gusuzuma amateka y’ubuzima bw’umurwayi.” “Ubwiza bw’umwuka mubi ni ukuri, ariko ibibazo byinshi biragaragara: amatungo, ishyiga ricanwa n’inkwi, ifu ku rukuta, ibintu ushobora kubona. Iyo uguze cyangwa ukavugurura ukabona ikibazo gikomeye cy’ifu, birumvikana ko ugomba kucyitaho, ariko ahantu hari ifu mu bwogero bwawe cyangwa ku itapi biroroshye kwicungira.”
Kenshi na kenshi, Ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije ntigitanga inama yo gupima ibizamini rusange by’ibizamini byo mu rugo. Umuvugizi w’ikigo yanditse mu ibaruwa ye ya email ati: “Buri hantu ho mu nzu ni umwihariko, bityo nta kizamini kimwe gishobora gupima ibice byose bya ibizamini byo mu rugo rwawe.” Byongeye kandi, nta EPA cyangwa indi mipaka ya leta yashyizweho ku bijyanye n’ubuziranenge bw’umwuka wo mu nzu cyangwa ibintu byinshi byanduza mu nzu; bityo rero, nta mahame ya leta yo kugereranya ibyavuye mu gupima ibizamini.”
Ariko niba urimo gukorora, guhumeka nabi, guhumeka nabi cyangwa ufite umutwe udakira, ushobora kuba ukeneye kuba umupolisi. Jay Stake, perezida w’ikigo, agira ati: “Ndasaba ba nyir’amazu kwandika buri munsi.”Ishyirahamwe ry’Ubuziranenge bw’Umucyo wo mu Gikari(IAQA). “Ese wumva ubabaye iyo winjiye mu gikoni, ariko ukaba umeze neza mu biro? Ibi bifasha mu gukemura ikibazo kandi bishobora kugufasha kuzigama amafaranga yo gusuzuma ubwiza bw'umwuka wo mu nzu.”
Rizzo arabyemera. “Itondere. Hari ikintu cyangwa ahantu runaka hatuma ibimenyetso byawe birushaho kwiyongera cyangwa bikarushaho kwiyongera? Ibaze uti 'Ni iki cyahindutse mu rugo rwanjye? Hari amazi yangiritse cyangwa tapi nshya? Ese nahinduye isabune cyangwa ibikoresho byo gusukura?' Ubundi buryo bukomeye: Va mu rugo rwawe ibyumweru bike urebe niba ibimenyetso byawe birushaho kumera neza.
