Pakati pa ntchito yanu ya desiki ya 9-to-5, ola limodzi kapena kupopera chitsulo kumalo ochitira masewera olimbitsa thupi, komanso usiku wanu wonse wa Netflix, ndizosadabwitsa kuti mumathera pafupifupi 90 peresenti ya nthawi yanu m'nyumba. Chomwe chimayambitsa kufalikira kwa coronavirus komanso kulamula kuti mukhale kunyumba, komanso nthawi yomaliza yomwe mudatuluka kunja - ngakhale kukangopita kokagula - mwina kunali masiku atatu apitawo.

Ndi nthawi yonseyi yomwe mwakhala mukukhala m'nyumba yanu yonyozeka, mutha kupeza zolimbikitsa kuti musinthe kukhala malo abwino okhalamo, kuyambira pogula zomera zoyeretsa mpweya. Kupatula apo, kuchuluka kwa zoipitsa zina kumatha kukhala kokwanira kawiri kapena kasanu m'nyumba kuposa momwe ziliri panja, chifukwa cha zotsukira, utoto, ndi zomangira zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito mnyumba yanu, malinga ndi Environmental Protection Agency. Ndipo ma organic organic compounds (VOCs, aka mpweya wotuluka kuchokera kuzinthu zapakhomo ndi zina) amatha kubweretsa zotsatira zovulaza thanzi, kuphatikizapo diso, mphuno, ndi kukhosi; mutu ndi nseru; ndi kuwonongeka kwa chiwindi, pakati pa ena, pa EPA.

Koma kodi kakhonde kameneka kakhala pawindo lanu kapena chomera cha njoka patebulo lomaliza pafupi ndi kama wanu mukuchita chilichonse kuti zithandizire?

Zachisoni, ngakhale nyumba yanu ikuwoneka ngati ili patsamba la Discover la Instagram, sikhala ndi mpweya wabwino kwambiri ngati mpweya wotuluka mu thanki. Michael Dixon, mkulu wa Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility pa yunivesite ya Guelph kum’mwera kwa Ontario, Canada, anati: “Lingaliro lolakwika lofala kwambiri n’lakuti zomera zimayeretsa mpweya, sizimayeretsa mpweya. "Zomera zapanyumba zimakhala ndi gawo laling'ono kwambiri mumlengalenga momwe ziliri, ndipo zimakhudza kwambiri mwina chifukwa choti kukongola kwawo kumakupangitsani kuti mukhale osangalala."

M'malo mwake, kuwunika kwa 2019 kwa maphunziro 12 omwe adasindikizidwa pazomera zamiphika pa ma VOC oyendetsedwa ndi mpweya adapeza izi. Lofalitsidwa mu Zolemba pa Sayansi Yowonekera ndi Epidemiology Yachilengedwe, Ndemangayi inapeza kuti kusinthana kwa mpweya, mwina mwa kutsegula mazenera kapena kugwiritsa ntchito mpweya wabwino, kumachepetsa kuchuluka kwa ma VOC mofulumira kuposa momwe zomera zingawachotsere mpweya. Izi zikutanthauza kuti mudzafunika kulikonse kuyambira 100 mpaka 1,000 pazomera mita imodzi (pafupifupi 10 mita mita) ya malo kuti muchotse ma VOC moyenera ngati mutsegule mawindo a chipinda chanu chochezera. Ngati mukufuna kukhala m'nyumba mwanu, sizotheka kwenikweni.

Ndiye kodi malingaliro olakwika akuti mbewu zochepa zam'madzi zimasandutsa nyumba yanu kukhala oasis yatsopano itenga bwanji? Zonsezi zinayambika kumapeto kwa zaka za m'ma 1980 ndi wasayansi wa NASA a Bill Wolverton, atero a Dixon, omwe adalemba nawo kafukufuku wa 2011 pankhani yomwe idasindikizidwa mu Zambiri Zaukadaulo. Kuti adziwe kuti ndi zomera ziti zomwe zinagwira ntchito yabwino kwambiri yosefa zowononga zosiyanasiyana, Wolverton anayesa zodzala khumi ndi ziwiri za m’nyumba—monga gerbera daisy ndi nsungwi—potha kuchotsa poizoni m’nyumba m’chipinda chosindikizidwa cha mainchesi 30 ndi mainchesi 30. , malinga ndi NASA. Pambuyo maola 24, Wolverton adapeza kuti chomeracho chidachotsa 10% mpaka 90% ya zonyansa, kuphatikiza formaldehyde, benzene, ndi trichlorethylene, mlengalenga. (Zokhudzana: Mpweya wabwino umakhudza kulimbitsa thupi kwanu [komanso thanzi lanu] kuposa momwe mumaganizira)

Vuto la kafukufukuyu: Wolverton adayika mbewuzo poyerekeza ndi zoipitsa zowirikiza kakhumi mpaka 100 kuposa momwe mungapezere mpweya wabwino wamkati, ndipo adayikidwa muzipinda zazing'ono kwambiri, akutero Dixon. Kuti mupeze zotsatira zomwezo, Wolverton adawerengera kuti mufunika kukhala ndi kangaude pafupifupi 70 m'nyumba yamakono, yopanda mphamvu ya 1800-square-foot. Kumasulira: Zotsatira sizingagwire ntchito kukhazikitsidwa kwadziko lenileni ngati kondomu yanu yapakatikati.

Nthawi zina, udindo wanu wa Amayi Obzala ungapangitse kuti mpweya wanu uwonjezeke. Dothi lowumba limatha kukhala zoipitsa m'mlengalenga, makamaka ngati mumamwa madzi kapena mutagwiritsa ntchito feteleza wochuluka, atero a Dixon. Nthaka yonyowa kwambiri imatha kulimbikitsa kukula kwa tizilombo toyambitsa matenda toyambitsa matenda mwa anthu ena, ndipo mchere wochokera ku feteleza wochuluka ukhoza kusanduka nthunzi mumlengalenga, akuwonjezera.

Kodi Zomera Zotsuka Mpweya Zili Ndi Zotsatira Zake?

Ganizirani za kalasi yanu yasekondale ya biology, ndipo mudzakhala ndi chidziwitso chotsimikizika pazomwe mbewu zanu zotsukira mpweya zimatha * kwenikweni Zomera za m'nyumba mwachibadwa zimakhala ndi njira za kagayidwe kachakudya (machitidwe amankhwala m'maselo omwe amamanga ndi kuphwanya mamolekyu a ma cell) kuti agwiritse ntchito mpweya wa carbon dioxide, koma alibe zokwanira zomwe zimatenga zowononga zowopsa zomwe zimapezeka mumpweya wabwino kwambiri. zimakhudza kwambiri, akufotokoza. (Kusamalira munda wamkati kumakupatsaninso zokolola zatsopano.)

Ngakhale zili choncho, zipinda zapakhomo sizitsuka mlengalenga, makina opanga ma CO2. Popeza malo ambiri amkati amakhala ndi kuwala kochepa, zomera zimagwira ntchito panthawi yomwe kupuma (kutulutsa mpweya woipa ndi kutulutsa mpweya ndi CO2) kumakhala kofanana ndi photosynthesis, akutero Dixon. Panthawiyi, chomera chikutenga mpweya wofanana wa CO2 kuchokera mumlengalenga pamene chikupanga. Zotsatira zake, "chiyembekezo choti zomera zoumbidwa pokhala gawo lofunikira kwambiri pakukongoletsa mpweya wamkati mnyumba ndizochepa kwambiri," akufotokoza.

Koma mikhalidwe yoyeretsa mpweya wazomera zina sizongopeka chabe. Mu zina kwambiri M'malo enieni, ma VOC amatha kukhala chakudya chamagulu a tizilombo tating'onoting'ono (re: mabakiteriya ndi bowa) m'malo a mizu ya mmera, ndikupanga "biofilter" yomwe imachepetsa zowononga mumlengalenga. Komabe, izi sizomwe mungakwanitse ndi chomera chanu cha pothos, akutero Dixon. Poyamba, ma biofilters a zomera awa adapangidwa kuti aziphimba makoma onse ndikuyenda masitepe atatu kapena anayi m'mwamba.

Makoma akulu kwambiri, odzazidwa ndi zomerazi ndi owoneka bwino ndipo madzi amayenda kudzera mwa iwo kuti apange malo oyenera kuti tizilombo ting'onoting'ono tikhale mosangalala, chotchedwa biofilm. Mafani mu dongosolo amakoka mpweya wa chipindacho kudutsa munthaka, ndipo ma VOC aliwonse amasungunuka mu biofilm, akutero Dixon. Zomera zikamapanga photosynthesis ndikudyetsa chakudya mpaka kumizu, tizilombo tating'onoting'ono tomwe timakhala mu biofilm timayipukutira pamodzi ndi zoipitsa zilizonse zomwe zimayamwa. Dixon anati: “Tizilombo toyambitsa matenda tomwe timayanjana ndi mpweya wopanda mphamvu m'nyumba ndi mtundu wa chakudya [cha tizilombo tating'onoting'ono],” anatero Dixon. "[Ma VOC] sali okwanira mokwanira kuti ateteze tizilombo tating'onoting'ono-motero zomerazo zimatero [kudzera mu photosynthesis]."

Kuyesa DIY biofilter yanu mumphika "ndizovuta kwambiri," chifukwa cha kuwala kochepa komwe kumapezeka m'nyumba, akutero Dixon. Osanenapo, ndizovuta kwambiri kuzisamalira ndipo sizikupezeka kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito pano. Koma simuli SOL kwathunthu ngati mukufuna kutsuka mpweya wanu wamkati: "Kwenikweni, ingotsegulani zenera, zomwe zithandizira kusinthana kwa gasi ndi akunja," akutero. (Ndipo ngati nyumba yanu ili yodzaza kwambiri, yatsani imodzi mwazotsitsa zotsika kwambiri.)

Ndipo ngakhale chomera chanu choyeretsa mpweya sichingagwire ntchito yomwe mumayembekezera, mwina kukhala pafupi ndi malo obiriwira kungakuthandizeni kuti mukhale opindulitsa komanso kuti muchepetse nkhawa, malinga ndi kafukufuku waku Washington State University. Kuphatikiza apo, kuwasamalira ndi njira yabwino #yachikulire musanatenge kagalu, sichoncho?
