Ubhubhani we-coronavirus uphefumle ubomi obutsha kwindlela yamashumi eminyaka ubudala enokuthi ikhuphe iintsholongwane kunye neebhaktheriya: ukukhanya kwe-ultraviolet.
Izibhedlele beziyisebenzisa iminyaka ukwehlisa ukusasazeka kwe-superbugs ezinganyangekiyo ngamachiza kunye nokubulala iisuti zotyando. Kodwa ngoku kukho umdla wokusebenzisa itekhnoloji kwiindawo ezinjengezikolo, izakhiwo zeofisi, kunye neeresityu ukunceda ukunciphisa usulelo lwe-coronavirus nje ukuba iindawo zikawonke-wonke zivuliwe kwakhona.
UJim Malley, PhD, unjingalwazi wobunjineli boluntu kunye nokusingqongileyo kwiYunivesithi yaseNew Hampshire uthi: "Itekhnoloji ye-Germicidal ultraviolet ibikho malunga neminyaka eyi-100 kwaye ibe nempumelelo entle. Ukusukela ekuqaleni kukaMatshi, bekukho umdla omkhulu kuyo, kunye nenkxaso-mali yophando kumaziko kwihlabathi liphela.
Iziphumo zokuhlambulula izibane ze-UV zibonwe kunye nezinye ii-coronavirus, kubandakanya naleyo ibangela isifo esibukhali sokuphefumla (SARS). Izifundo zibonise ukuba inokusetyenziswa ngokuchasene nezinye ii-coronavirus. Olunye uphononongo lufumene ubuncinci bemizuzu eli-15 yokuvezwa kwe-UVC yenze ukuba ingasebenzi i-SARS, yenze ukuba kube nzima ukuba intsholongwane iphindaphindeke. I-Metropolitan Transit Authority yaseNew York ibhengeze ukusetyenziswa kokukhanya kwe-UV kwiimoto ezihamba ngaphantsi komhlaba, iibhasi, amaziko etekhnoloji kunye neeofisi. IZiko leSizwe leSayensi lithi nangona kungekho bungqina bubambekayo bokusebenza kwe-UV kwintsholongwane ebangela i-COVID-19, isebenze kwezinye iintsholongwane ezifanayo, ngoko inokuthi ilwe nale.
Ilebhu kaMalley yenza uphando malunga nendlela i-UVC enokuzicoca ngayo izixhobo kunye nezixhobo zokukhusela ezisetyenziswa ngabaphenduli bokuqala, kwaye kutsha nje kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba baphinde basebenzise, njengemaski ze-N95.
I-HOLTOP ibambelela kwingcamango yoyilo "ye-customer-centric", ibhokisi ye-disinfection ilula ngobunzima, kulula ukuyifaka, ukusetyenziswa kwamandla aphantsi kunye nokusebenza kakuhle.
■ Abasebenzisi abafakele isixokelelwano somoya omtsha we-HOLTOP banokulugqiba utshintsho ngokufakela ibhokisi yokubulala iintsholongwane kumoya wonikezelo okanye umbhobho wecala lokuphuma. Ibhokisi ye-disinfection inokulawulwa ngabanye okanye idibaniswe nomncedisi womoya omtsha, okhawulezayo kwaye kulula ukuyifaka.
■ Kubasebenzisi benkqubo yokungenisa umoya omtsha entsha ye-HOLTOP, banokuhlengahlengisa kwaye bafakele inzala kunye nebhokisi yokubulala iintsholongwane kwicala lomoya omtsha okanye icala lokukhupha ngokwemeko yangaphakathi yokuhombisa kunye nolawulo lonxibelelwano kunye nesixhobo sokungenisa umoya. Nje ukuba ifakwe, iya kuzuza ubomi bonke.
Ngaphandle kwebhokisi eqhelekileyo yokubulala iintsholongwane, iHoltop inokwenza ngokwezifiso izinto zokubulala iintsholongwane kunye neemveliso zokubulala iintsholongwane ngokweemfuno zeprojekthi.
