Njengoba isikhumba siyisitho esikhulu kunazo zonke somuntu, sifanelwe ukwelashwa ngokucophelela nangesizotha, kuhlanganise nokunakekelwa ngemikhiqizo engenazo izingxenye eziyingozi.
Mingaki imikhiqizo yobuhle esiyisebenzisayo, ikakhulukazi abesifazane, nsuku zonke? Okhilimu, insipho, amafutha okugcoba, ama-shampoos, amajeli eshawa, okokuthambisa, okokukhuhla… Lolu wuhlu olungaphelele lwalokho imboni yobuhle esinika yona ukuthi sikusebenzise njalo. Siyaqiniseka yini ukuthi zonke lezi “zithako” zilungele isikhumba sethu? Naphezu kwenqwaba yamakhambi anikezwayo, inani labantu abanesikhumba esibucayi nezimo ezifana nezinduna, i-eczema, i-psoriasis, nokunye liye lenyuka kakhulu emashumini eminyaka amuva nje. Eqinisweni, umbiko wakamuva wase-Europe uveze ukuthi ama-52% abantu baseBrithani banesikhumba esizwelayo. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi inqwaba yezimbiza zezimonyo ekugezeni kwethu akugcini nje ukuxazulula inkinga, kodwa futhi iyayibhebhethekisa? Isazi sokudla okunomsoco uCharlotte Willis wabelana ngolwazi lwakhe:
“I-alamu yami ikhala ngo-6:30. Ngiqala usuku ngokuzivocavoca nokugeza, ngiqhubeke nokwelashwa kobuhle, ukulungisa izinwele kanye nezimonyo ngaphambi kokuphuma ukuyobhekana nosuku. Ngakho, izindawo ezihlukahlukene zesikhumba sami zavezwa imikhiqizo yobuhle engu-19 emahoreni angu-2 okuqala osuku! Njengeningi labantu emhlabeni, ngasebenzisa imikhiqizo ethengwe ezitolo. Uthembisa ukuvuselela, ukuthambisa, ukuqinisa nokunikeza ukukhanya - yonke le mikhiqizo iveza umthengi ekukhanyeni okuhle kakhulu okuprofetha impilo kanye nentsha. Kodwa lokho iziqubulo nezithembiso zokumaketha okungasho lutho ngakho kuwuhlu olude lwezithako zamakhemikhali ezingakha ilabhorethri yonke.
Njengochwepheshe wezokudla kanye nomsekeli oshisekayo wendlela yokuphila enempilo, ngizenzele indlela yezempilo: ungadli noma yini equkethe isithako esingashiwongo noma umthombo wezilwane.
Bheka ilebula yomkhiqizo wakho wobuhle osetshenziswa kakhulu, kungaba ishampoo, isiqedaphunga noma isigcobo somzimba - zingaki izithako ozibonayo futhi zingaki ozijwayele? Imboni yezimonyo nobuhle inenani elikhulu lezinto ezahlukahlukene nezithasiselo ezisetshenziselwa ukunikeza umbala oyifunayo, ukuthungwa, iphunga, nokunye. Lawa makhemikhali avame ukuvela ku-petroleum, izinto ezilondolozayo ezingaphili, ama-mineral oxides, nama-ores alimaza umzimba, kanye nezinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zamapulasitiki, utshwala, nama-sulfate.
igama elibonisa inani lobuthi obunqwabelene emzimbeni ngezimonyo noma indawo ezungezile. Yiqiniso, umzimba wethu unomshini wokuzihlanza osusa izinto ezingafuneki eziqoqwe phakathi nosuku. Nokho, ngokulayisha ngokweqile uhlelo ngezinto ezinobuthi, sibeka umzimba engozini. Ucwaningo lwaseCanada olwenziwa yi-David Suzuki Foundation (inhlangano yokuziphatha) ngo-2010 lwathola ukuthi cishe u-80% wemikhiqizo yobuhle yansuku zonke ekhethwe ngokungahleliwe iqukethe okungenani into eyodwa enobuthi efakazelwe ngokwesayensi ukuthi iyingozi empilweni. Okuhlaba umxhwele nakakhulu ukuthi abakhiqizi nezinkampani zezimonyo, eziqaphela ubungozi balezi zinto, ziyenqaba ukukhipha izithako ohlwini lwazo.
Nokho, zikhona izindaba ezinhle kuyo yonke le ndaba. Ukukhathazeka mayelana nokuphepha kwezimonyo kuye kwaholela ekwakhiweni kwemikhiqizo yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba yemvelo! Ngokwenza eyakho “imithi” esekelwe ezitshalweni, uqinisekisa ukuthi awekho amakhemikhali angadingekile avela ezimonyoni angenayo.
