Pono ka wai no ke ola, no laila he mea kupanaha ka mālama ʻia ʻana me ka hoʻowahāwahā.
Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia ka wai pā me nā pesticides, nā kemika ʻoihana, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a me nā mea make ʻē aʻe-ʻoiai ma hope o ka mālama ʻia ʻana.
ʻO ka wehe ʻana i nā mea ʻawaʻawa e like me ke kēpau, ka mercury a me ka arsenic i loko o nā mea kanu hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai he mea liʻiliʻi a ʻaʻole i loaʻa ma kekahi mau wahi. ʻO nā paipu i manaʻo ʻia e komo ai ka wai maʻemaʻe i nā hale, hiki ke lilo i kumu o nā mea ʻawaʻawa.
Akā ʻoiai ke hoʻopau ʻia nei nā pathogen bacteria mai ka wai, nui nā mea ʻawaʻawa, e like me ka chlorine, ke komo nei i ka wai.
No ke aha e pilikia ai ka chlorine?
He ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ʻo Chlorine o ka wai paila. ʻAʻohe mea hoʻohui kemika e hiki ke hoʻopau i ka bacteria a me nā microorganism ʻē aʻe e like me ka maikaʻi. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia manaʻo e inu ʻoe i ka wai chlorinated a i ʻole he olakino ia. He pōʻino loa ka Chlorine i nā mea ola. ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka chlorine mai ka wai he mea nui e mālama i ke olakino maikaʻi.
Pehea e hoʻohaumia ai ke kaiapuni i ka wai?
Hoʻopiha ʻia nā kumuwaiwai wai me nā mea haumia mai nā kumu like ʻole. Loaʻa pinepine nā ʻōpala ʻoihana i nā kahawai a me nā muliwai, e like me ka mercury, ke kēpau, arsenic, nā huahana ʻaila, a me nā mea kemika ʻē aʻe.
ʻO nā aila kaʻa, antifreeze a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui ke kahe me ka wai i loko o nā muliwai a me nā loko. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻāina kekahi kumu hoʻohaumia, ʻoiai e komo ana ka ʻōpala i loko o ka wai lepo. Hāʻawi pū nā mahiʻai moa i ka leakage o nā mea haumia, me nā lāʻau lapaʻau, nā antibiotic a me nā hormones.
Eia kekahi, hoʻopau nā pesticides, herbicides a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe i loko o nā muliwai i ka manawa. ʻO nā mea antihypertensive, nā lāʻau'alopelo, a me ka caffeine a me ka nicotine i loaʻa ʻaʻole i nā kumu wai wale nō, akā i ka wai inu ponoʻī.
ʻO ka ʻōmole wai ke koho maikaʻi loa?
ʻAʻole ma kēlā ʻano. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka ʻōmole wai ʻo ia ka wai pila. Akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, hoʻolei pinepine nā ʻōmole plastik i nā kemika i loko o ka wai. Hana pinepine ʻia nā ʻōmole me ka PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), ʻo ia iho ka pōʻino o ke kaiapuni.
Ua nānā ka poʻe noiʻi kūʻokoʻa i nā mea o loko o nā hue wai a loaʻa iā fluorine, phthalates, trihalomethanes a me arsenic, aia i loko o ka wai i ka wā o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana a i ʻole mai ka wai hue. Ua hopohopo pū nā hui kaiapuni i ka nui o nā mea haumia i loko o nā ʻōmole plastik.
He aha kā mākou e hana ai e inu i ka wai me ka hilinaʻi? E kūʻai i kahi kānana wai maikaʻi a hoʻohana! He mea maʻalahi a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no kāu ʻeke a me ke kaiapuni ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana i ka wai ʻōmole.
