Izazinzulu kwiYunivesithi yaseDe Montfort (DMU) eLeicester zilumkise ukuba intsholongwane efana noxinzelelo olubangela i-Covid-19 inokuphila ezimpahleni kwaye isasazeke kwezinye iindawo ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezingama-72.
Kuphononongo oluvavanya indlela i-coronavirus eziphatha ngayo kwiintlobo ezintathu zamalaphu asetyenziswa rhoqo kwishishini lezempilo, abaphandi bafumanise ukuba umkhondo unokuhlala usosulela ukuya kuthi ga kwiintsuku ezintathu.
Phantsi kobunkokeli be-microbiologist uGqr. Katie Laird, i-virologist uGqr Maitreyi Shivkumar, kunye nomphandi we-postdoctoral uGqr Lucy Owen, olu phando lubandakanya ukongeza amathontsi emodeli ye-coronavirus ebizwa ngokuba yi-HCoV-OC43, ubume bayo kunye nendlela yokusinda efana nezo ze-SARS- I-CoV-2 iyafana kakhulu, ekhokelela kwi-Covid-19-polyester, umqhaphu wepolyester kunye ne-100% yomqhaphu.
Iziphumo zibonisa ukuba ipolyester ngowona mngcipheko mkhulu wokusasaza intsholongwane.Intsholongwane eyosulelayo isekho emva kweentsuku ezintathu kwaye inokutshintshelwa kweminye imiphezulu.Kwi-cotton ye-100%, intsholongwane ihlala kwiiyure ze-24, ngelixa i-polyester cotton, intsholongwane iphila kuphela kwiiyure ze-6.
UGqr. Katie Laird, intloko yeQela loPhando ngeSifo esosulelayo kwi-DMU, uthe: “Xa ubhubhane waqala ukuqala, kuncinci okwaziwayo malunga nokuba i-coronavirus inokuphila ixesha elingakanani kwilaphu.
“Izinto esizifumeneyo zibonisa ukuba awona maqhaga amathathu asetyenziswa kakhulu kukhathalelo lwempilo asemngciphekweni wokusasaza le ntsholongwane.Ukuba abongikazi kunye nabasebenzi bezonyango bathatha iyunifomu yabo bagoduke nayo, banokushiya umkhondo wentsholongwane kwezinye iindawo. ”
Kunyaka ophelileyo, ukuphendula ubhubhane, i-Public Health England (PHE) yakhupha izikhokelo ezichaza ukuba iyunifomu yabasebenzi bezonyango kufuneka icocwe kwimizi-mveliso, kodwa apho kungenakwenzeka, abasebenzi mabathathe iyunifomu bagoduke nayo bayokucoca.
Ngelo xesha, i-NHS Uniform kunye ne-Workwear Guidelines ichaza ukuba kukhuselekile ukucoca iyunifomu yabasebenzi bezonyango ekhaya nje ukuba ubushushu bubekwe ubuncinane kwi-60 ° C.
UGqr Laird unenkxalabo yokuba ubungqina obuxhasa le nkcazo ingentla busekelwe ikakhulu kuphononongo lweencwadi ezimbini eziphelelwe lixesha ezipapashwe kwi-2007.
Ukuphendula, ucebise ukuba zonke iiyunifomu zonyango zikarhulumente kufuneka zicocwe ezibhedlele ngokuhambelana nemigangatho yorhwebo okanye ngempahla yemizi-mveliso.
Ukusukela ngoko, uye wapapasha ngokudibeneyo uphononongo loncwadi oluhlaziyiweyo nolubanzi, evavanya umngcipheko wamalaphu ekusasazeni izifo, kwaye egxininisa imfuneko yeenkqubo zolawulo losulelo xa kusingathwa iilaphu zonyango ezingcolisekileyo.
“Emva kokuphononongwa koncwadi, inqanaba elilandelayo lomsebenzi wethu kukuvavanya imingcipheko yokulawula usulelo lokucoca iyunifomu yonyango engcoliswe yi-coronavirus,” uqhubeke watsho.Nje ukuba sigqibe ngenqanaba lokusinda kwe-coronavirus kwilaphu ngalinye, siya kujolisa ingqalelo yethu ekumiseleni eyona ndlela ithembekileyo yokuhlamba intsholongwane.
Iingcali zenzululwazi zisebenzisa i-cotton ye-100%, i-textile yezempilo esetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo, ukwenza iimvavanyo ezininzi kusetyenziswa amaqondo obushushu amanzi ahlukeneyo kunye neendlela zokuhlamba, kubandakanywa oomatshini bokuhlamba basekhaya, oomatshini bokuhlamba bemizi-mveliso, oomatshini bokuhlamba esibhedlele ngaphakathi, kunye ne-ozone (igesi esebenza kakhulu) inkqubo yokucoca.
Iziphumo zabonisa ukuba ukushukumisa kunye nokuhlanjululwa kwamanzi kwakwanele ukususa iintsholongwane kubo bonke oomatshini bokuhlamba abavavanyiweyo.
Nangona kunjalo, xa iqela lophando lingcolise amalaphu ngamathe angengowamvelo aqulethe intsholongwane (ukulinganisa umngcipheko wokudluliselwa emlonyeni womntu owasulelekileyo), bafumanisa ukuba oomatshini bokuhlamba basekhaya abazange bayisuse ngokupheleleyo intsholongwane, kwaye ezinye iimpawu zasinda.
Kuphela xa bongeza i-detergent kwaye baphakamisa ubushushu bamanzi, intsholongwane iyacinywa ngokupheleleyo.Ukuphanda ukuxhathisa kwentsholongwane ekutshiseni kuphela, iziphumo zibonise ukuba i-coronavirus izinzile emanzini ukuya kuthi ga kwi-60 ° C, kodwa ayisebenzi kwi-67 ° C.
Emva koko, iqela lafunda umngcipheko wokungcola, ukuhlamba iimpahla ezicocekileyo kunye neempahla ezinentsholongwane yentsholongwane kunye.Bafumanise ukuba zonke iinkqubo zokucoca ziyisusile intsholongwane, kwaye kwakungekho mngcipheko wokuba ezinye izinto zingcoliseke.
UGqr. Laird ucacisile: “Nangona sibona kuphando lwethu ukuba nokuhlanjwa kobushushu obuphezulu kwezi zinto kumatshini wokuhlamba wasekhaya ngokwenene kunokususa intsholongwane, ayiwuphelisi umngcipheko weempahla ezisulelekileyo ezishiya umkhondo we-coronavirus kwezinye iindawo. .Ngaphambi kokuba zihlanjwe ekhaya okanye emotweni.
“Ngoku siyazi ukuba intsholongwane inokuphila ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezingama-72 kwizinto ezilukiweyo ezithile, kwaye inokudluliselwa nakweminye imiphezulu.
“Olu phando luyayibethelela ingcebiso yam yokuba zonke iimpahla zonyango kufuneka zicocwe kwindawo ezibhedlele okanye kumagumbi okuhlamba iimpahla.Ezi ndlela zokucoca zibekwe esweni, kwaye abongikazi nabasebenzi bezonyango abanaxhala lokuzisa le ntsholongwane ekhaya. ”
Iingcali zeendaba ezinxulumeneyo zilumkisa ukuba iiyunifomu zonyango akufuneki zicocwe ekhaya ngexesha lo bhubhani.Uphando lubonisa ukuba iinkqubo zokucoca i-ozone zinokususa i-coronavirus ezimpahleni.Uphando lubonisa ukuba ukunyuka ngetshokhwe akunakwenzeka ukuba kusasaze i-coronavirus.
Ngenkxaso yeBritish Textile Trade Association, uGqr. Laird, uGqr. Shivkumar kunye noGqr. Owen babelane ngeziphumo zabo neengcali zoshishino eUnited Kingdom, eUnited States naseYurophu.
“Impendulo yayintle kakhulu,” utshilo uGqr Laird."Imibutho yokunxiba kunye nokuhlamba iimpahla kwihlabathi liphela ngoku isebenzisa ulwazi oluphambili kwizikhokelo zethu zokhathalelo lwezempilo ukuthintela ukusasazeka kwecoronavirus."
UDavid Stevens, umlawuli oyintloko woMbutho weeNkonzo ze-Bhritane, umbutho wabarhwebi benkonzo yokhathalelo lwelaphu, uthe: “Kwimeko yobhubhane, sinokuqonda okusisiseko ukuba amalaphu ayisiyiyo eyona nto iphambili yokuhambisa i-coronavirus.
“Nangona kunjalo, asinalo ulwazi malunga nokuzinza kwezi ntsholongwane kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo zelaphu kunye neenkqubo ezahlukeneyo zokuvasa.Oku kukhokelele kulwazi olungachananga olujikelezayo kunye nezindululo ezigqithisileyo zokuhlanjwa.
"Siye saqwalasela ngokubanzi iindlela kunye nezenzo zophando ezisetyenziswa nguGqr Laird kunye neqela lakhe, kwaye safumanisa ukuba olu phando luthembekile, luyakwazi ukuveliswa kunye nokuveliswa kwakhona.Ukuqukunjelwa kwalo msebenzi owenziwe yi-DMU komeleza indima ebalulekileyo yolawulo longcoliseko-ukuba useKhaya lisekwindawo yoshishino.”
Iphepha lophando lipapashwe kwi-Open Access Journal ye-American Society for Microbiology.
Ukuze kuqhutyekwe nophando olongezelelekileyo, eli qela liye lasebenzisana neqela leengqondo ze-DMU kunye neSibhedlele seYunivesithi yaseLeicester NHS Trust kwiprojekthi yokuphanda ulwazi nezimo zengqondo zabongikazi kunye nabasebenzi bezonyango ngokucoca iyunifomu ngexesha lobhubhani we-Covid-19.
