Uhlelo Olusha Lokuvikela Abantu BaseMelika Egesini Ebangela Umdlavuza Wamaphaphu

I-American Lung Association isebenza ne-EPA, abanye ozakwethu abanamasu ukuqeda imbangela yesibili ehamba phambili yomdlavuza wamaphaphu.

I-Radon iyimbangela yesibili ehamba phambili yomdlavuza wamaphaphu futhi amazinga e-radon aphakeme atholakala ngaphezu kwe-1 kumakhaya angu-15 e-US Ukuqeda lesi sici esiyingozi somdlavuza wamaphaphu futhi sivikele yonke imiphakathi nezakhiwo, i-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), kanye ozakwethu abahlakaniphile njenge-American Lung Association, bethule uhlelo olusha lweminyaka emihlanu lweRadon Action Plan.

I-radon iyigesi ekhipha imisebe eyenzeka ngokwemvelo ephuma emhlabathini engenaphunga, engenakunambitheka futhi engenambala. I-Radon ingangena endlini ngemifantu ezindongeni, phansi, ezisekelweni kanye nokunye ukuvuleka. I-radon ingaba khona emazingeni aphezulu ngaphakathi kwezindlu, izikole nezinye izakhiwo.

"I-radon ingaba nomthelela kunoma ubani, nokho, amakhaya abanikazi bezindlu aholwa abantu abanemibala kanye nalabo abahola kancane mancane amathuba okuthi amakhaya abo ahlolwe i-radon kunabanye," kusho uKatherine Pruitt, umqondisi omkhulu kuzwelonke wenqubomgomo yeLung Association kanye nomgqugquzeli. weNational Radon Action Plan Leadership Council. “Sisebenzela ukuqwashisa kabanzi ngale gesi eyingozi futhi siqinisekise ukuthi abantu bayazi ukuthi kulula ukuhlola i-radon. Ukuhlola kufanele kwenziwe yiwo wonke umuntu, okuhlanganisa abanikazi bezindlu, abaqashi, abadayisi bezindlu, abaphathi bezakhiwo nabaphathi besikole. Ngenhlanhla, amakhithi okuhlola wokuzenzela alula ukuwasebenzisa futhi awabizi.”

Umgomo we-National Radon Action plan wukuqeda umdlavuza wamaphaphu ongavinjelwa e-radon e-US ngokwandisa ukuvikela kuyo yonke imiphakathi nezakhiwo. Ukwengeza, lolu hlelo lwabeka umgomo wokuthi isizwe sithole, silungise futhi sivimbele amazinga aphezulu e-radon endlini ezakhiweni eziyizigidi eziyisi-8 ngo-2025; ukuvimbela isilinganiso sokufa okungenani okungu-3,500 komdlavuza wamaphaphu ngonyaka; kanye nokusindisa ingxenye eyodwa kwezine yesigidi yokuphila kulezo zakhiwo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. I-National Radon Action Plan yathuthukiswa ngomzamo wokusebenzisana we-EPA, i-American Lung Association, kanye nezinye izinhlangano eziyi-11.

“Ukuchayeka ku-radon kuwusongo oluqhubekayo empilweni yomphakathi, kubangela ukufa kwezinkulungwane zomdlavuza wamaphaphu unyaka ngamunye,” kusho uMphathi we-EPA uMichael S. Regan. "UHlelo Lwezwe Lokusebenza LweRadon olumenyezelwe namuhla luzosisiza ukuthi sivikele kangcono impilo nempilo yemiphakathi ezweni lonke ngokuhlinzeka ngamathuluzi nokuqeqeshwa ukuvimbela umdlavuza wamaphaphu obangelwa yi-radon."

I-American Lung Association ibambe iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni nasekusetshenzisweni kwe-National Radon Action Plan kusukela yasungulwa ngo-2014 futhi isebenza ukunciphisa umthelela wezempilo ku-radon kubo bonke abantu baseMelika.

Ngalolu hlelo, izinhlangano zikhuthaza bonke abantu baseMelika ukuthi bafunde kabanzi nge-radon ku-Lung.org/Radon futhi bahlole amakhaya abo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bakhuthaza abahlinzeki bezempilo ukuthi bakhulume neziguli zabo ngemithelela yezempilo ye-radon futhi bazikhuthaze ukuthi zihlole amakhaya azo.
