Mvura yepombi inodzorwa (neEPA) kuti ive yakachengeteka kana ichibva papombi, uye mvura yemubhodhoro inodzorwa (neFDA) kuti ive yakachengeteka kana yakavharwa. Matepi ekuchengetedza mvura ekuchengetedza anotarisa maitiro pakati pemvura painosiya mushonga wekurapa uye inosvika kumutengi mumba. Mune mamwe mazwi, mvura yepombi inodzorwa kuitira kuchengetedzwa kuburikidza nekwaanosiya pombi. Mvura yemumabhotoro inodzorwa kuti isangane nechengetedzo kana yaiswa mubhodhoro uye ikavharwa. Iko hakuna mirau inoda kuti indasitiri yemvura yakabhoderedzwa kuti iongorore mhando yemvura mushure mekunge yaiswa mubhodhoro, uye BPA nemamwe makomputa anoshandiswa mumapurasitiki akaonekwa muvanhu mushure mekushandisa kwemabhodhoro emvura.

Mubvunzo: Ndedzipi dzimwe nyaya dzatinofanira kufunga nezvadzo nerudzi rwemvura?

A: Mvura yemupombi inodhura zvakanyanya pane yemubhodhoro, uye inogadziriswa nefluoride kudzivirira mazino emunhu mumadhumeni mazhinji. Nekudaro, vamwe vanhu vanosarudza kuravira kwemvura yakabhoderedzwa kuti vatore nekuda kweklorini kuravira kana kunhuwidza, uye nemvura yemupombi pane njodzi shomana yekuwedzeredza-kuyerera uye nehutachiona hwezvigadzirwa zvakagadzirwa mukukwirisa. Uye pane kukanganisa kwezvakatipoteredza kwemabhodhoro epurasitiki - mukugadzirwa kwavo uye mushure mekunge vashandiswa.

Imwe sarudzo ndeyekuchengetedza mvura muhari; iyo chlorine kuravira ichanyangarika. Yambiro imwe chete neBrita firita ndeyekuti kusachengeta iyo firita yakanyorova uye chirongo chakazadzikiswa padanho rakakodzera kunogona kukonzera kuti mabhakitiriya akure pane firita. Tevera nhungamiro dzekuchinja firita; kana zvisina kudaro, unogona kuwedzera mabhakitiriya mazinga mumvura kupfuura mazinga akachengeteka.

Mubvunzo: Ndezvipi zvimwe zvatingave nechokwadi kana kutora pamusoro pehunhu hwemvura yedu?

A: Kana uchigara mumusha wechikuru umo pangave mune solder yomutobvu, shandisa mvura yemupombi yako kweminiti kana kupfuura usati washandisa mvura yacho.

Madhipatimendi ezvehutano uye emunharaunda anogona kukubatsira kuona kuti ndeapi mabvunzo aunofanira kunge wapedza, zvichibva pazvinhu zvemuno. Makanzuru anotumira gwaro regore remhando yemvura yekunwa kudzimba kamwe chete pagore uye zvakakosha kuverenga gwaro iri. EPA inoda mishumo iyi, iyo inotsanangura kuchengetedzwa kwepombi yemvura, gore negore. Kana iwe uine hanya nezve BPA kuratidzwa uye kunwa mvura, ini ndinokurudzira kusashandisazve mabhodhoro, kana kuti zvimwe kuisa mari mumabhodhoro egirazi kana mamwe mabhodhoro emvura asina BPA. Ini pachangu, ndinonwa zvese zviri mubhodhoro uye yepombi mvura nguva nenguva uye ndinofunga zvese zvine hutano sarudzo.
