Uma kubhekwa ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19, ngicabanga ukuthi bekungeke kwenzeke ukuxoxa ngezinhlobo ezahlukene zezibulali magciwane ezitholakalayo nokuthi zingahlolwa kanjani ukusebenza kwazo ekubulaleni amagciwane.
Wonke ama-sanitizer ezandla ahlukile. Izithako ezithile zikhiqiza imiphumela elwa namagciwane. Khetha isibulali magciwane sesandla esisuselwe kubhaktheriya, isikhunta namagciwane ofuna ukuwayekisa. Awukho ukhilimu wesandla ongabulala yonke into. Ngaphezu kwalokho, noma ngabe ikhona, izoba nemiphumela emibi yezempilo.
Ezinye izibulali-magciwane zezandla zikhangiswa “njengezingenatshwala”, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi zinesikhumba esomile kancane. Le mikhiqizo iqukethe i-benzalkonium chloride, ikhemikhali ephumelelayo ngokumelene namabhaktheriya amaningi, isikhunta esithile kanye ne-protozoa. Ayisebenzi ekulweni ne-Mycobacterium tuberculosis, amagciwane e-Pseudomonas, izinhlamvu zamabhaktheriya kanye namagciwane. Ukuba khona kwegazi nezinye izinto eziphilayo (ukungcola, amafutha, njll.) okungenzeka kube khona esikhumbeni kungenza kalula i-benzalkonium chloride. Insipho esele esikhumbeni izonciphisa umphumela wayo we-bactericidal. Iphinde ingcoliswe kalula yi-Gram-negative bacteria.
Utshwala busebenza ngempumelelo ngokumelene namagciwane e-Gram-positive kanye ne-Gram-negative, isikhunta esiningi, nawo wonke amagciwane e-lipophilic (ama-herpes, umgomo, i-HIV, umkhuhlane kanye ne-coronavirus). Ayisebenzi ngokumelene nama-non-lipid virus. Kuyingozi kumagciwane e-hydrophilic (njenge-astrovirus, i-rhinovirus, i-adenovirus, i-echovirus, i-enterovirus ne-rotavirus). Utshwala abukwazi ukubulala igciwane uvendle noma igciwane le-hepatitis A. Futhi ayinikezi umsebenzi oqhubekayo we-antibacterial ngemva kokumisa. Ngakho-ke, akunconywa njengendlela yokuvimbela ezimele. Inhloso yotshwala ihlanganiswe nesigcina-mpilo esihlala isikhathi eside.
Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zamajeli esandla asekelwe etshwaleni: i-ethanol ne-isopropanol. Utshwala obungama-70% bungabulala ngempumelelo amagciwane avamile we-pathogenic, kodwa abusebenzi ngokumelene nezinhlamvu zebhaktheriya. Gcina izandla zakho zimanzi imizuzu emibili ukuze uthole imiphumela ephezulu. Ukuhlikihla okungahleliwe imizuzwana embalwa akukwazi ukunikeza ukususwa kwe-microbial okwanele.
I-Isopropanol inezinzuzo kune-ethanol ngoba ibulala amagciwane ebangeni elibanzi lokuhlushwa futhi ayiguquguquki kancane. Ukuze uthole umphumela we-antibacterial, ukuhlushwa okuncane kufanele kube yi-isopropanol engu-62%. I-concentration iyancipha futhi ukusebenza kahle kuyehla.
I-Methanol (i-methanol) inomphumela we-antibacterial obuthakathaka kunabo bonke otshwala, ngakho-ke ayinconywa njengesibulala-magciwane.
I-Povidone-iodine iyisibulala-magciwane esikwazi ukulwa ngempumelelo namagciwane amaningi, okuhlanganisa amagciwane e-gram-positive kanye ne-gram-negative, izinhlamvu ezithile zebhaktheriya, imvubelo, i-protozoa, namagciwane afana ne-HIV kanye negciwane le-hepatitis B. Umphumela we-antibacterial uncike ekugxilweni kwe-iodine yamahhala esixazululweni. Kuthatha okungenani imizuzu emibili yesikhathi sokuthinta isikhumba ukuze kusebenze. Uma ingakhishiwe esikhumbeni, i-povidone-iodine ingaqhubeka nokusebenza ihora elilodwa kuya kwamabili. Ububi bokuyisebenzisa njengesivikelo ukuthi isikhumba siba nsundu ngokusawolintshi futhi kunengozi yokungezwani komzimba, okuhlanganisa ukungezwani komzimba nokucasuka kwesikhumba.
I-Hypochlorous acid i-molecule yemvelo ekhiqizwa amangqamuzana amhlophe egazi omzimba. Inekhono elihle lokubulala amagciwane. Inemisebenzi ye-bactericidal, fungicidal kanye ne-insecticidal. Ibhubhisa amaprotheni esakhiwo kuma-microorganisms. I-Hypochlorous acid iyatholakala ngejeli kanye namafomu okufutha futhi ingasetshenziselwa ukubulala amagciwane ezindaweni nezinto. Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi inomsebenzi wokubulala igciwane ngokumelene negciwane le-avian influenza A, i-rhinovirus, i-adenovirus kanye ne-norovirus. I-Hypochlorous acid ayizange ihlolwe ngokuqondile ku-COVID-19. Ukwakhiwa kwe-hypochlorous acid kungathengwa futhi ku-odwe phezu kwekhawunta. Ungazami ukuzenza wena.
I-hydrogen peroxide iyasebenza ngokumelene namagciwane, imvubelo, isikhunta, amagciwane kanye nezinhlamvu. Ikhiqiza ama-radicals mahhala e-hydroxyl alimaza ulwelwesi lwamangqamuzana namaprotheni, abalulekile ukuze kuphile amagciwane. I-hydrogen peroxide ibola ibe amanzi nomoya-mpilo. I-over-the-counter peroxide ye-hydrogen peroxide ingu-3%. Ungawunciphisi. Ukuncipha kokugxila, isikhathi sokuxhumana siba side.
I-baking soda ingasetshenziswa ukususa amabala ebusweni, kodwa ayisebenzi ngokuphelele njenge-ejenti elwa namagciwane.
Yize isibulali magciwane sesandla sisiza ekwehliseni ubungozi bokutheleleka nge-COVID-19, asikwazi ukuthatha indawo yensipho namanzi. Ngakho-ke, khumbula ukugeza izandla zakho kahle ngensipho namanzi ngemva kokubuyela ekhaya ohambweni lwebhizinisi.
