ʻO nā ʻike wikiwiki e pili ana i nā kānana wai: hoʻemi lākou i ka ʻala, hoʻopau i nā mea leʻaleʻa, a mālama i nā pilikia turbidity. Akā ʻo ke kumu nui e koho ai nā kānaka i ka wai kānana ʻo ke olakino. Ua loaʻa i ka ʻoihana wai ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kahi helu D mai ka American Society of Civil Engineers. Ua ʻōlelo ka hui i nā kino wai haumia a me nā aquifers i hoʻopau ʻia ma ke ʻano he hopohopo nui.

Me nā metala koʻikoʻi e like me ke kēpau a me nā kemika e like me ka chlorine e loaʻa mau ana i kā mākou lako wai, he mea hōʻoluʻolu ka lohe ʻana e hiki i ka wai kānana ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ko mākou olakino a pale iā mākou mai nā pilikia olakino koʻikoʻi. Akā pehea?

E hoemi i ka pilikia o ka ma'i ma'i

Hoʻohana ʻia ka hapa nui o ka wai paipu me nā kemika e wehe i nā microorganism. Hiki i nā mea kemika e like me ka chlorine a me ka chloramines ke hoʻopau i nā micro-organisms, akā hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopilikia i ke olakino iā lākou iho. Hiki i ka Chlorine ke launa pū me nā mea hoʻohuihui i loko o ka wai e hana i nā huahana disinfection. ʻO Trihalomethanes (THMs) kekahi ʻano o nā huahana a ʻike ʻia e hoʻonui i kou pilikia o ka maʻi maʻi a hiki ke kumu i nā pilikia hānau. Hoʻopili ʻia ʻo Chlorine a me nā chloramines i ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā maʻi maʻi maʻi ʻaʻai a me ka rectal.

ʻO nā pono olakino o ka wai kānana e hoʻemi ʻia ka pilikia o ka maʻi kanesa no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike i kēia mau kemika ʻino. ʻO ka wai kānana he maʻemaʻe, maʻemaʻe, a palekana ke inu.

Palekana mai na mai

I ka wā e kahe ai nā paipu, e ʻino a nahā i nā microorganism ʻino e like me E. coli bacteria hiki ke loaʻa i ko lākou ala i loko o kou wai inu mai ka lepo a me nā kino wai. Hiki i nā maʻi maʻi wai ke hoʻoulu i nā pilikia mai ka ʻāʻī ʻana o ka ʻōpū a hiki i ka maʻi Legionnaires.

ʻO kahi ʻōnaehana kānana wai i hoʻolako ʻia me ka pale kukui ultraviolet (a i ʻole UV) e hoʻopau i kahi pathogen a i ʻole microorganism hiki ke hana hou. Hiki i ka wai kānana ke pale iā ʻoe a me kou ʻohana mai nā ʻano maʻi like ʻole a me nā maʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka mea ola.

E hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kou ʻili a me kou lauoho

ʻO ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ka wai chlorinated hiki ke hoʻomaloʻo i kou ʻili, māwae, ʻulaʻula, a me ka huhū. Hiki i ka wai chlorinated ke hoopulu i kou lauoho. He mea maʻamau kēia mau hōʻailona a pau i ka poʻe ʻauʻau kai e hoʻolimalima manawa ma nā loko kūloko, akā no ka ʻauʻau ma kou home, ʻaʻohe pono e hoʻonāukiuki i kou ʻili a me kou lauoho me ka chlorine.

ʻO nā ʻōnaehana kānana wai holoʻokoʻa e kānana i nā mea haumia e like me ka chlorine a me nā chloramines i ko lākou komo ʻana i kou home. ʻAʻole loaʻa kāu wai i nā kinikona ʻinoʻino inā puka mai ia mai loko mai o kāu kīhini a i ʻole ke poʻo ʻauʻau. Inā ʻoe e ʻauʻau i ka wai kānana no kekahi mau mahina e ʻike paha ʻoe ua ʻoi aku ka ikaika o kou lauoho a ʻoi aku ka palupalu o kou ʻili.

E hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kāu meaʻai

ʻO kahi mea maʻalahi e like me ka holoi ʻana i kāu mau ʻōmaʻomaʻo i loko o ka paila ma mua o kou hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka salakeke hiki ke hoʻopōʻino i kāu ʻaina awakea me ka chlorine a me nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe. Ma ka manawa lōʻihi o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka chlorine i kāu meaʻai hiki ke hoʻonui i kou pilikia o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi umauma - Hōʻike ʻo Scientific American he 50-60% ʻoi aku ka nui o nā huahana chlorine i loko o ko lākou umauma ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā wahine me ka maʻi kanesa. Mālama ka wai kānana iā ʻoe mai ka pōʻino o ka ʻai ʻana i ka chlorine i kāu meaʻai.

Ma ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i kāu meaʻai me ka wai kānana kemika a me nā mea haumia ʻole, hoʻomākaukau ʻoe i nā meaʻai ʻono a maikaʻi. Hiki i ka chlorine ke hoʻopili i ka ʻono a me ke kala o kekahi mau meaʻai, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā huahana e like me ka pasta a me ka berena.
