Maluhia paha kāu wai piula? Pono ʻoe i kahi kānana wai? No nā pane, HELE ANA ua huli iā Kauka Kathleen McCarty, he polopeka ma ke Kula Nui o ke Kula Nui ʻo Yale, he loea i ka wai inu a me nā hopena olakino kanaka a me kahi kūkā aʻoaʻo no ka US EPA no ke olakino a me ka wai inu i nā haumia.

Q: Aia he ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka piula wai a me ka wai ʻōmole?

A: He palekana no ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻōmole a me ka wai paipu. Hoʻoponopono ʻia ka wai kahe (e ka EPA) e palekana ke hele mai ka piula, a mālama ʻia ka wai ʻōmole (e ka FDA) e palekana i ka wā ʻōmole. Kuhi nā pae palekana wai i nā kaʻina hana ma waena o ka wā e haʻalele ai ka wai i ka mea kanu lāʻau a hōʻea i ka mea kūʻai i ka home. ʻO ia hoʻi, hoʻoponopono ʻia ka wai paipu no ka palekana ma o ka lae e haʻalele ai i ka paipa. Hoʻoponopono ʻia ka wai ʻōmole e kū i nā kūlana palekana ke ʻōmole a hoʻopaʻa ʻia ia. ʻAʻohe kānāwai e koi ai i ka wai wai ʻōmole e hoʻāʻo i ka maikaʻi o ka wai ma hope o ka ʻōmole ʻana, a ʻo BPA a me nā mea hoʻohui ʻē aʻe i hoʻohana ʻia i nā plastics i ʻike ʻia i loko o nā kānaka ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wai ʻōmole.

Nīnau: He aha nā pilikia ʻē aʻe a mākou e noʻonoʻo ai me kēlā me kēia ʻano wai?

A: ʻOi aku ka pipiʻi o ka wai kāpili ma mua o ka wai ʻōmole, a mālama ʻia me ka fluoride e pale aku ai i nā niho o nā kauhale he nui. Eia nō naʻe, makemake kekahi poʻe i ka ʻono o ka wai ʻōmole e kāpili no ka ʻono o ka chlorine a me ka pilau, a me ka wai kahe aia kahi makaʻu iki o ka over-fluorination a me nā huahana disinfection i hoʻokumu ʻia i ke kaʻina hana chlorination. A aia ka hopena kaiapuni o nā ʻōmole plastik - i kā lākou hana ʻana a ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana.

Q: E ʻōlelo paha ʻoe i kahi kānana wai?

A: Paipai wau i ka kānana no nā poʻe makemake ʻole i ka ʻono o ka wai piula, me kahi akahele e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana.ʻO nā kānana e like me Brita nā kānana kalapona, kuleana no ka hoʻomoʻa ʻana i nā ʻāpana i loko o ka wai. Na nā kānana Brita e hoʻemi i nā pae o kekahi mau metala a hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻono o ka wai paila a i ʻole e hōʻemi i ka ʻala (mai ka chlorination). ʻO kahi koho ʻē aʻe e mālama i ka wai i loko o kahi kīʻaha; e nalo ka ʻono chlorine. ʻO ka akahele me ka kānana Brita ʻo ka mālama ʻole ʻana i ka kānana a piha ka ipu i ka pae kūpono e hiki ai ke ulu i nā bacteria ma ke kānana. E hāhai i nā ʻōkuhi e hoʻololi i ka kānana; i ʻole, hoʻonui paha ʻoe i nā pae bacteria i loko o ka wai ma mua o nā pae palekana.

Q: Pehea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hōʻoia a mālama i ka maikaʻi o kā mākou wai?

A: Inā noho ʻoe i kahi home kahiko kahi e loaʻa ai ka solder kēpau, e holo i kāu wai piula i hoʻokahi minute a ʻoi paha ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wai. E hoʻohana pū i ka wai anuanu ma mua o ka wai mahana no ka hoʻolapalapa a inu ʻana. Ma nā wahi e hoʻohana ʻia ai ka wai luawai, e paipai pinepine wau e hoʻāʻo ʻia ka wai inu. Hiki i nā keʻena olakino kūloko a mokuʻāina ke kōkua iā ʻoe i ka hoʻoholo ʻana i nā hoʻokolohua e hoʻopau ʻia, ma muli o nā kumu kūloko. Hoʻouna nā kūlanakauhale i kahi hōʻike makahiki o ka maikaʻi o ka wai inu i nā home i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki a he mea pono e heluhelu i kēia palapala. Pono ka EPA i kēia mau hōʻike, e hōʻike ana i ka palekana o ka wai paipa, i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Inā hopohopo ʻoe e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka BPA a me ka wai inu, makemake wau ʻaʻole e hoʻohana hou i nā ʻōmole, a i ʻole e hoʻokomo kālā i loko o nā ʻōmole aniani a i ʻole nā ​​ʻōmole wai ʻole BPA ʻole. ʻO wau iho, inu wau i nā ʻōmole ʻelua a me ka wai kaomi ma kahi maʻamau a noʻonoʻo i nā koho olakino ʻelua.
