Niba hari ikintu buri mukunzi wa fitness, siporo numukunzi wo hanze akunda byimazeyo, ni imyenda yubukorikori. Nyuma ya byose, ibikoresho nka polyester, nylon, na acrylic nibyiza mugukuraho ubuhehere, byumye vuba, kandi biramba rwose.
Ariko ibyo bikoresho byose byubukorikori bikozwe muri plastiki. Iyo izo fibre zimenetse cyangwa zizunguruka, zitakaza imirongo yazo, akenshi bikarangirira mubutaka bwacu n'amasoko y'amazi, bigatera ibibazo byubuzima nibidukikije. Nukwitonda nkuko uri, nyirabayazana w'ibi bice byose bidakwiriye ni murugo rwawe: imashini imesa.
Kubwamahirwe, hari inzira nke zoroshye zo gukumira microplastique kwanduza isi na buri boot.
Nkuko izina ribigaragaza, microplastique ni uduce duto twa plastiki cyangwa plastike idasanzwe igaragara mumaso. Kubwibyo, kurwanira kubuza kurekurwa kwabo ntabwo ari igitsina kuruta kurwanya ibyatsi bya pulasitike cyangwa imifuka - umuhati ukunze guherekezwa n’amashusho ababaza y’inyenzi zo mu nyanja ziniga imyanda. Ariko umuhanga mu binyabuzima byo mu nyanja, Alexis Jackson, avuga ko microplastique ikomeje guhungabanya ibidukikije. Azabimenya: afite impamyabumenyi y'ikirenga. Mu rwego rw’ibidukikije n’ibinyabuzima byabayeho biturutse ku bwihindurize, plastiki zo mu nyanja zacu zakozweho ubushakashatsi bwimbitse mu nshingano ze nk'umuyobozi wa politiki y’inyanja mu gice cya Californiya cya The Nature Conservancy.
Ariko bitandukanye no kugura ibyatsi cyangwa gukusanya imifuka ishobora gukoreshwa, igisubizo cyiki kibazo cya microscopique ntigisobanutse. Ubwa mbere, microplastique ni nto cyane kuburyo ibihingwa bitunganya imyanda akenshi bidashobora kuyungurura.
Iyo banyerera, baba hafi ya hose. Ndetse baboneka no muri Arctique. Ntabwo ari ibintu bidashimishije gusa, ariko inyamaswa iyo ari yo yose irya utudodo duto twa plastike irashobora guhura nuguhagarika inzira yigifu, kugabanuka kwingufu no kurya, bigatuma imikurire idahungabana kandi igabanya imikorere yimyororokere. Byongeye kandi, microplastique yerekanwe gukuramo imiti yangiza nk'ibyuma biremereye ndetse nudukoko twangiza udukoko, ikohereza ubwo burozi kuri plankton, amafi, inyoni zo mu nyanja n’ibindi binyabuzima.
Kuva aho, imiti ishobora guteza akaga irashobora kuzamura urunigi rwibiryo hanyuma ikagaragara mu ifunguro ryawe ryo mu nyanja, tutibagiwe n'amazi ya robine.
Kubwamahirwe, ntiturabona amakuru yingaruka zishobora kubaho igihe kirekire cya microplastique ku buzima bwabantu. Ariko kubera ko tuzi ko ari bibi ku nyamaswa (kandi na plastiki ntabwo ari igice cyifuzwa cyimirire myiza, yuzuye), Jackson avuga ko ari byiza kuvuga ko tutagomba kubishyira mumibiri yacu.
Igihe kirageze cyo koza amaguru yawe, ikabutura ya basketball, cyangwa ikositimu yo kwambara, hari intambwe ushobora gutera kugirango wirinde microplastique kurangirira mubidukikije.
Tangira utandukanya imyenda - ntabwo ukoresheje ibara, ahubwo nibikoresho. Koza imyenda idahwitse cyangwa idakabije, nka jans, ukuyemo imyenda yoroshye, nka T-shati ya polyester hamwe na swateri yubwoya. Muri ubu buryo, uzagabanya ubushyamirane buterwa n'ingaruka z'ibikoresho bito ku bintu byoroheje mu minota 40. Kugabanuka gake bivuze ko imyenda yawe itazashira vuba kandi fibre ntishobora gucika imburagihe.
Noneho menya neza ko ukoresha amazi akonje kandi udashyushye. Ubushyuhe buzagabanya fibre kandi itume kurira byoroshye, mugihe amazi akonje azabafasha kumara igihe kirekire. Noneho koresha inzinguzingo ngufi aho kuzunguruka cyangwa ndende, ibi bizagabanya amahirwe yo kumeneka fibre. Mugihe ukoze ibi, gabanya umuvuduko wikizunguruka niba bishoboka - ibi bizagabanya guterana amagambo. Hamwe na hamwe, ubu buryo bwagabanije microfiber kumeneka 30%, nkuko ubushakashatsi bumwe bubigaragaza.
Mugihe tuganira kumashini imesa, irinde inzinguzingo zoroshye. Ibi birashobora kuba binyuranye nibyo utekereza, ariko ikoresha amazi menshi kurenza ayandi mazi yo gukaraba kugirango wirinde gutemba - amazi menshi ugereranije nigitambara arashobora kongera fibre.
Hanyuma, ucukure byumye. Ntidushobora gushimangira ibi bihagije: Ubushyuhe bugabanya ubuzima bwibikoresho kandi byongerera amahirwe yo kumeneka munsi yumutwaro ukurikira. Ku bw'amahirwe, imyenda ya sintetike yumye vuba, bityo umanike hanze cyangwa kuri gari ya moshi - ushobora no kuzigama amafaranga ukoresheje akuma gake.
Imyenda yawe imaze gukaraba no gukama, ntusubire kumashini imesa. Ibintu byinshi ntibigomba gukaraba nyuma yo gukoreshwa, shyira rero ikabutura cyangwa ishati usubire mumyenda kugirango wongere wambare cyangwa kabiri niba bidahumura nkimbwa itose nyuma yo kuyikoresha. Niba hari ikibanza kimwe cyanduye, kwoza intoki aho gutangira gupakira.
Urashobora kandi gukoresha ibicuruzwa bitandukanye kugirango ugabanye microfiber yamenetse. Guppyfriend yakoze igikapu cyo kumesa cyabugenewe cyo gukusanya fibre yamenetse hamwe n imyanda ya microplastique, no gukumira fibre kumasoko ikingira imyenda. Gusa shyiramo sintetike, uyishire hejuru, uyijugunye mumashini imesa, uyikuremo kandi ujugunye microplastique iyo ari yo yose ifatanye kumfuruka yumufuka. Ndetse imifuka isanzwe yo kumesa ifasha kugabanya guterana amagambo, ubwo rero ni amahitamo.
Akayunguruzo kihariye kometse kumashini imesa imashini yamashanyarazi nubundi buryo bwiza kandi bushobora gukoreshwa byagaragaye ko bugabanya microplastique kugera kuri 80%. Ariko ntugatwarwe cyane niyi mipira yo kumesa, bivugwa ko ifata microfibers mugukaraba: ibisubizo byiza ni bito.
Ku bijyanye no kumesa, ibirango byinshi bizwi birimo plastike, harimo na capsules yoroshye igabanyamo uduce duto twa microplastique mumashini imesa. Ariko byasabye gucukura kugirango hamenyekane ibikoresho byangiza. Wige uburyo bwo kumenya niba koko ibikoresho byawe byangiza ibidukikije mbere yuko usubiramo cyangwa utekereza gukora ibyawe. Noneho witondere sintetike yawe kuva umunsi wogeje.
Alisha McDarris numwanditsi utanga umusanzu mubumenyi bukunzwe. Umukunzi wurugendo numukunzi wukuri wo hanze, akunda kwereka inshuti, umuryango ndetse nabantu batazi uburyo bwo kwirinda umutekano no kumara umwanya munini hanze. Iyo atanditse, urashobora kubona igikapu cye, kayakingi, kuzamuka urutare, cyangwa gutembera mumuhanda.
