Yini i-popcorn lung?
I-Popcorn lung, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-bronchiolitis obliterans noma i-obliterative bronchiolitis, yisimo esibucayi esibonakala ngokuba nezibazi zemigudu yomoya emincane kakhulu emaphashini, eyaziwa ngokuthi ama-bronchioles. Lesi sibazi siholela ekuncipheni kwamandla nokusebenza kahle kwazo. Lesi simo kwesinye isikhathi sifushaniswa njenge-BO noma sibizwe ngokuthi yi-constrictive bronchiolitis.
Izimbangela ze-bronchiolitis obliterans zingahluka, ezivela ezicini ezihlukahlukene zezokwelapha nezemvelo. Ukutheleleka okubangelwa amagciwane, amagciwane, kanye nesikhunta kungaholela ekuvuvukeni nasekulimaleni kwama-bronchioles. Ukwengeza, ukuhogela izinhlayiya zamakhemikhali nakho kungaholela kulesi simo. Nakuba ama-diketones afana ne-diacetyl evame ukuhlotshaniswa ne-popcorn lung, i-National Institutes of Health ihlonze amanye amakhemikhali amaningana akwazi ukuyibangela, njenge-chlorine, i-ammonia, i-sulphur dioxide, kanye nentuthu yensimbi ehogelwayo evela ekushiseleni.
Ngeshwa, okwamanje alikho ikhambi elaziwayo le-popcorn lung, ngaphandle kokufakelwa amaphaphu. Kodwa-ke, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ngisho nokufakelwa kwamaphaphu ngokwako kungase kubangele ukuthuthukiswa kwe-bronchiolitis obliterans. Eqinisweni, i-bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) imi njengembangela eyinhloko yokwaliwa okungapheli ngemva kokufakelwa kwamaphaphu.
Ingabe i-vaping idala iphaphu le-popcorn?
Okwamanje abukho ubufakazi obubhaliwe obufakazela ukuthi i-vaping ibangela amaphaphu e-popcorn, naphezu kwezindaba eziningi eziphakamisa okuhlukile. Izifundo ze-Vaping nolunye ucwaningo lwehlulekile ukusungula noma yikuphi ukuxhumana phakathi kwe-vaping ne-popcorn lung. Kodwa-ke, ukuhlola ukuchayeka ku-diacetyl ekubhemeni ugwayi kungase kunikeze ukuqonda ngezingozi ezingaba khona. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi intuthu kagwayi iqukethe amazinga aphezulu kakhulu e-diacetyl, okungenani izikhathi eziyi-100 ngaphezu kwamazinga aphakeme kakhulu atholakala kunoma yimuphi umkhiqizo wokuphefumula. Nokho, ukubhema ngokwako akuhlotshaniswa nephaphu le-popcorn.
Ngisho nakuba abantu ababhemayo abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyinkulungwane emhlabeni wonke behogela i-diacetyl kagwayi njalo, azikho izindaba zamaphaphu eziye zabikwa phakathi kwababhemayo. Izigameko ezimbalwa zabantu okutholwe ukuthi bane-popcorn lung bekungabasebenzi kakhulu emafektri e-popcorn. Ngokusho kweNational Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), ababhemayo abane-bronchiolitis obliterans babonisa ukulimala okukhulu kwamaphaphu uma kuqhathaniswa nababhemayo abanezinye izimo zokuphefumula ezihlobene nokubhema njenge-emphysema noma i-bronchitis engapheli.
Nakuba ukubhema kunezingozi ezaziwayo, amaphaphu e-popcorn awawona omunye wemiphumela yawo. Umdlavuza wamaphaphu, isifo senhliziyo, kanye nesifo esingamahlalakhona sokuvinjwa kwamaphaphu (COPD) kuhlotshaniswa nokubhema ngenxa yokuhogela izakhi ze-carcinogenic, itiyela, ne-carbon monoxide. Ngokuphambene, i-vaping ayibandakanyi ukuvutha, iqeda ukukhiqizwa kwetiyela ne-carbon monoxide. Esimeni esibi kakhulu, ama-vape aqukethe cishe iphesenti elilodwa kuphela le-diacetyl etholakala kugwayi. Yize noma yini ngokwethiyori ingenzeka, okwamanje abukho ubufakazi obusekela isimangalo sokuthi i-vaping ibangela iphaphu le-popcorn.
