Esimweni sezulu sanamuhla esishintsha njalo, kubalulekile ukuzivikela emisebeni eyingozi ye-UV. Kanjalo, izambulela ze-UV sezithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwalabo abafuna ukuzivikela emisebeni eyingozi yelanga. Kepha yini ngempela eyiso isambulela se-UV, futhi kungani sidinga eyodwa?
Izambulela ze-UV zenzelwe ngokukhethekile ukuvimba imisebe eyingozi ye-ultraviolet (UV) kusuka elangeni. Ngokungafani nezambulela zendabuko, ezihloselwe ukuhlinzeka kuphela indawo yokukhosela emvuleni, izambulela ze-UV zenziwe ngendwangu ekhethekile enikeza i-UPF (I-Ultraviolet Propect Factor) izilinganiso. Lokhu kusho ukuthi bangahlinzeka ngokuvikelwa okungcono emisebeni eyingozi yelanga ngokuqhathaniswa nezambulela evamile.
Manje kungani sidinga izambulela ze-UV? Yebo, ngokusho kwe-American Academy of Dermatology, umdlavuza wesikhumba kuwuhlobo olujwayelekile kakhulu umdlavuza e-United States, kanye nokweqisa ngemisebe ye-UV yelanga kungenye yezimbangela eziholayo. Eqinisweni, omunye kwabahlanu baseMelika abahlanu bazothuthukisa umdlavuza wesikhumba empilweni yabo. Kungakho kubalulekile ukuzivikela elangeni, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi samahora aphezulu welanga (phakathi kuka-10 ekuseni no-4 PM).
Kepha akuwona umdlavuza wesikhumba nje esidinga ukukhathazeka ngakho. Ukuchayeka kwemisebe ye-UV kungadala nokuguga ngaphambi kwesikhathi, ukushiswa yilanga, kanye nomonakalo wamehlo. Kungakho kubalulekile ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuzivikela emisebeni eyingozi yelanga, bese isambulela se-UV singasiza.
Akagcini nje kuphela ukuthi amasambulela we-UV ahlinzeka ngokuvikelwa emiphumeleni elimazayo yelanga, kepha futhi anikeza indlela enhle futhi esebenzayo yokuhlala epholile futhi ekhululekile ngesikhathi esishisayo nelanga. Baphelele imicimbi yangaphandle efana ne-picnics, amakhonsathi, nemidlalo yezemidlalo, futhi futhi bakuhle kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwansuku zonke.
Izambulela ze-UV zingene ezinhlotsheni zemibala nemibala, ngakho-ke kunokuthile okuhambisana nakho konke ukunambitheka nokuthandayo. Ungakhetha imibala eyisisekelo emnyama, ekhanyayo futhi enesibindi, noma amaphethini amnandi namaphrinta. Ezinye izambulela ze-UV futhi zibonisa izindlela ezivuleke ngokuzenzakalelayo nezisondele, okwenza kube lula ukuzisebenzisa futhi ziqhubeke.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izambulela ze-UV zinobungane futhi zisimeme. Ngokusebenzisa isambulela se-UV esikhundleni sokulahlwa kwe-sunscreen, unganciphisa i-carbon footprint yakho futhi usize ukuvikela imvelo. Futhi ngokungafani ne-sunscreen, okudingeka ukuthi iphinde yaphinde yahlaziywa njalo emahoreni ambalwa, isambulela se-UV sinikeza ukuvikela okungapheli emisebeni eyingozi yelanga.
Sekukonke, kunezizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani sidinga isambulela se-UV. Ukusuka ekuvikeleni isikhumba namehlo ethu ukuze uhlale upholile futhi ukhululekile, isambulela se-UV sinikeza izinzuzo eziningi. Ngakho-ke kungani ungatshali munye namhlanje futhi uqale ukujabulela izinzuzo eziningi zokuvikelwa kwe-UV? Isikhumba sakho (kanye nemvelo) sizokubonga!
