Pehea e hoʻolilo ai i kou home i wahi olakino a palekana me ke kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa? (Home Olakino a Palekana)

Manaʻo mākou a pau i ko mākou mau home he mau wahi hōʻoluʻolu a palekana. Akā, me ka ʻike ʻole, ke hūnā nei paha ko mākou wahi noho i nā mea e hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ko mākou olakino. Akā, mai hopohopo. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e hoʻolilo i ke kālā he nui e hoʻolilo i kou home i wahi olakino a palekana. E nānā kākou pehea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ke olakino o ko mākou mau home, ʻo ia hoʻi, kou a me kou poʻe aloha, me kekahi mau hoʻololi liʻiliʻi a maʻalahi.

1. E kāohi kākou i ka lepo i loko o ka hale

ʻAʻole wale ka lepo i loko o kou hale he wahi lepo liʻiliʻi. He kumu nui ia o nā maʻi allergies. Hiki iā ia ke loaʻa nā kemika weliweli he nui ma mua o kou manaʻo. No ka laʻana, hiki ke hui pū ʻia ke kēpau mai nā pena kahiko, nā pesticides, a me nā mea pale ahi me kēia lepo. ʻOiai ua hoʻohana ʻia kēia mau mea i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala aku nei, hiki nō ke loaʻa iā lākou i loko o kou home.

He aha kaʻu e hana ai?

ʻO ka hopena maikaʻi loa, ʻo ia ka wehe ʻana i nā kāpeti āpau inā hiki a hoʻololi iā ia me kahi mea e like me ke tile, ka lāʻau, a i ʻole ka linoleum ʻaʻole vinyl. He mea hōʻiliʻili lepo nui ke kāpeti. Eia nō naʻe, no ka mea he pipiʻi, inā paʻakikī kēlā e hana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono ʻana i ka hale.

• E hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono i ka mīkini holoi ma ka liʻiliʻi ʻelua manawa i ka pule . E akahele loa a puni nā kihi o nā paia, ma nā papa lalo, a ma lalo o nā lako e like me nā noho a me nā papa ʻaina.
• E hōʻoia i loaʻa i kāu mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe mīkini kahi kānana maikaʻi (HEPA) . E hōʻoia kēia ʻaʻole e hoʻolaha hou ʻia nā ʻāpana lepo liʻiliʻi loa i ka lewa a hele i loko o ka ʻeke.
• E hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka ʻeke a me ke kānana ma hope o kēlā me kēia hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ka mīkini hoʻomaʻemaʻe.

2. E hoʻōki loa kākou i ka puhipaka.

Inā ʻoe a i ʻole kekahi o kou ʻohana e puhipaka nei, ʻo kēia ka manawa kūpono loa e haʻalele ai. ʻO ka uahi lua kekahi kumu nui o ka hānō i nā keiki, ʻoi aku hoʻi nā kamaliʻi.

Inā makemake ʻoe i ke kōkua no ka haʻalele ʻana i ka puhipaka, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka . Hiki iā ia ke kōkua iā ʻoe e koho i ke ʻano hana kūpono iā ʻoe.

3. E nānā i kou home no nā pōʻino huna.

ʻO ke kēpau i loko o ka pena kahiko a me ke kinoea radon mai ka lepo mai nā pōʻino koʻikoʻi ʻelua e hiki ʻole iā kākou ke hoʻopoina maʻalahi.

Ke alakaʻi

Hiki ke loaʻa ke kēpau i loko o ka pena i hoʻohana ʻia ma nā paia, ʻoiai hoʻi ma nā hale kahiko (i kūkulu pinepine ʻia ma mua o 1978). Ke hemo kēia pena, hiki ke hanu ʻia ka lepo e hana ʻia i ka wā e wāwahi ʻia ai, a i ʻole hiki ke komo i loko o ke kino o nā keiki liʻiliʻi, e hoʻoulu ai i ka lāʻau make kēpau . Hiki i kēia ke hōʻino nui i ka ulu ʻana o ka lolo o nā keiki. Inā he mau hopohopo kāu, hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau i kāu Luna Nānā Ola Kino (PHI) kūloko e pili ana i kēia.

Radon

He kinoea radioactive ʻole kēia, ʻaʻohe ona kala, ʻaʻohe ona ʻala. Hana ʻia ia e ka palaho kūlohelohe o ka lepo a me nā pōhaku ma lalo o kou home. ʻAʻole ia he mea nui inā he hale hou a kahiko paha kou home, a inā he hale papahele kona, hiki i kekahi hale ke loaʻa kēia pilikia. ʻO ka hanu ʻana i ke kinoea radon ka lua o ke kumu nui o ka maʻi kanesa māmā (ma hope o ka puhipaka). Inā he mea puhipaka ʻoe a he kiʻekiʻe nā pae o ka radon i loko o kou home, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kou pilikia. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa ke kōkua loea e hoʻāʻo ʻia no kēia.

4. E ho'ōki i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pesticides.

Hoʻohana mākou i nā pesticides e pepehi i nā pepeke e like me nā ʻiole, nā ʻiole, a me nā ʻanuʻu. Akā hiki i kēia mau mea ke hana i ka hānō, nā pilikia aʻo, a me nā pilikia ulu lolo i nā keiki inā e omo mālie ʻia a lōʻihi ka manawa.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka pale ʻana ka hopena.

• E holoi pono i nā kīʻaha ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana.
• Ke loaʻa iā ʻoe nā koena, e uhi pono iā lākou.
• Inā he mau lua a he mau māwae paha i loko o ka hale e hiki ai i nā pepeke ke komo, e sila iā lākou.
• ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka huki ʻana i nā nāhelehele me ka lima no ke kino ma mua o ke kāpī ʻana i nā pesticides ma ka māla.

5. E makaʻala me nā ʻōmole palakiko a me nā meaʻai i loko o ka pahu.

Aia paha i loko o kekahi mau palakiko (nā ʻōmole wai, nā ʻōmole pēpē) a me ka uhi o loko o nā meaʻai i loko o ka pahu kahi kemika i kapa ʻia ʻo bisphenol A (BPA) . Ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻia nei kona palekana. Manaʻo kekahi mau noiʻi e hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ka lolo, ka ulu ʻana, a me nā hormones o nā keiki.

Eia kekahi mau mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hana e hōʻemi i kou pilikia:

6. E kānana i kāu wai paipa a inu.

Hiki ke ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka wai paipa kānana ma mua o ka wai ʻōmole. ʻAʻohe mea pehea ka nui o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana o kā mākou hui hoʻolako wai i ka wai, aia paha he mau mea haumia liʻiliʻi (ke kēpau, chlorine, bacteria) ke hiki i kou home. Hiki i kahi kānana wai maʻalahi ke wehe i ka hapa nui o kēia mau mea. Hiki nō hoʻi iā ia ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hōʻemi i ka ʻōpala ʻōmole plastik.

7. E akahele i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ipu kuke ʻaʻole e pipili.

Inā ʻoe e hoʻohana i nā ipu kuke me nā uhi ʻaʻole e pipili e like me Teflon, pono ʻoe e hoʻohana pono iā lākou. Hiki i nā kemika i hoʻohana ʻia e hana i kēia mau uhi, i kapa ʻia ʻo perfluorocarbons (PFCs), ke hōʻiliʻili i loko o ke kino.

• Mai hoʻomehana nui i nā ipu hakahaka.
• E kuke ma kahi mahana haʻahaʻa e like me ka hiki.
• Inā hiki, e hoʻololi i ke kila kila a i ʻole kā mākou ipu lepo kuʻuna.

8. E holoi pinepine i kou mau lima.

ʻAʻole wale ka holoi ʻana i nā lima e pale aku i nā huakini e hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka maʻi, akā pale pū kekahi i nā kemika i loko o ka lepo mai ke komo ʻana i loko o ka waha o nā keiki ʻōpio. ʻO nā mea i paʻa ʻole i loko o ka mīkini hoʻomaʻemaʻe hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia ma luna o nā lima o ke keiki e pāʻani ana ma ka papahele.

9. E hoʻohana i nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻawaʻawa ʻole

Ua kapa ʻia ka nui o nā huahana hoʻomaʻemaʻe a mākou e hoʻohana nei he "Warning" a me "Poison" no kekahi kumu. ʻO nā kemika i loko, e like me ka ammonia a me ka chlorine, ʻaʻole wale ia e hoʻohaumia i ka ea i loko o kou home, akā he mea ʻino hoʻi no ka poʻe me ka hānō.

A i ʻole, e koho i nā huahana i kapa ʻia ʻo "chlorine-free," "biodegradable," a pēlā aku. A i ʻole, aia kekahi mau mea maʻalahi hiki iā ʻoe ke hana ma ka home:

• E hoʻohana i ka vīnega ma kahi o ka bleach.
• E hoʻohana i ka soda baking e holoi i nā tile.
• No ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā puka makani, e hoʻohana i ka wai lemona a i ʻole ka vīnega i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia me ka wai.
• Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Borax e kāohi i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻōpala a wehe i nā ʻōpala.

10. E koho i nā meaʻai organik a olakino

ʻO ke koho ʻana i nā meaʻai organik hiki ke hōʻemi i ka nui o nā pesticides āu e hoʻokomo ai i loko o kou kino. Akā hiki ke ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai o nā meaʻai organik. No laila e hahai i kēia mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo:

• E kūʻai i nā mea kanu a me nā huaʻai o ke kau . Hiki ke loaʻa pinepine iā lākou ma nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa ma kāu mākeke kūloko i kēlā me kēia pule.
• Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i nā mea āpau i mea kūlohelohe, e kūʻai i nā mea e like me nā ʻōpena a me ka sipinaki, nā mea e omo i ka hapa nui o nā pesticides, ma ke ʻano kūlohelohe. He mea maikaʻi ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea maʻamau e like me ka maiʻa a me ka papaya me nā ʻili.
• E koho i nā meaʻai organik āu e ʻai mau ai.

ʻŌlelo aʻoaʻo kūikawā no nā makuahine hāpai a hānai waiū paha:

Hiki i nā waikawa momona Omega-3 (i loaʻa i loko o ka iʻa ʻaila a me nā walnuts) ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka lolo o ka pēpē mai nā mea ʻawahia. He mea nui hoʻi e lawe i nā huaora i loaʻa ka iodine. Akā i ke koho ʻana i ka iʻa, e noi i kāu kauka no ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ke koho ʻana i ka iʻa haʻahaʻa i ka mercury (e.g. salmon, shrimp, tuna māmā i loko o ka pahu).
