Uhlaziyo lweCoronavirus: Ndwendwela iwebhusayithi yeYunivesithi yasePenn State yeNgcaciso yeNtsholongwane kaGawulayo ukuze ufumane ulwazi lwamva nje malunga nokuqhambuka kwe-coronavirus yeyunivesithi.
URyan Aughenbaugh (ekhohlo) noKevin Behers kwi-ofisi yabasebenzi beFiziksi yoMzi-mveliso bahlola kwaye batshintshe isihluzo somoya kwiSakhiwo saseSteidle kwiYunivesithi yasePaki. Njengenxalenye yempendulo ye-COVID-19 yeYunivesithi yasePennsylvania State, amawaka eefilitha zomoya zangaphakathi ngaphakathi eyunivesithi ziye zatshintshwa ngezihluzo ezikwinqanaba eliphezulu.
I-Pennsylvania State University Park - Ngokufika kwesemester yokuwa, iOfisi yeZityalo zePhysical (OPP) kwiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania State iphumeze isicwangciso sokusebenza esijolise ekukhuthazeni ukucoca okunempilo kunye nokukhuselekileyo kunye nokungena umoya, ngelixa ivumela iyunivesiti ukuba ibuyele kwi-COVID- Izakhono zeklasi zokuwa kwisiqingatha se-19.
Ebudeni bonyaka ophelileyo, i-OPP yenze uluhlu olubanzi lwazo zonke izibonelelo zaseyunivesithi kwaye yaphucula ukuhluzwa komoya kwamawakawaka eendawo zangaphakathi ngokuzisa izihluzi ezikwinqanaba eliphezulu.
Ukongeza, ngokutsho komphathi wesikolo u-Erik Cagle, phakathi kwamanyathelo amaninzi athathiweyo, iyunivesiti iya kuqhubeka nokubonelela ngezikhululo zokuhlamba izandla kwiindawo zikawonke-wonke kunye nokusula iintsholongwane kumagumbi okufundela kwisemester ezayo. Njengoko abafundi abaninzi bebuyela ekhampasini, kulindeleke ukuba baya kusetyenziswa ngakumbi. Intloko yemisebenzi yokugcinwa kwiYunivesithi yasePenn State inoxanduva lokujonga imisebenzi yokucoca eyunivesithi.
“Ukuqonda ukusasazeka kwe-COVID-19 kubalulekile ekuqondeni impendulo yeyunivesithi,” utshilo uKagle. “Kunyaka ophelileyo, besigxile kakhulu ekubulaleni iintsholongwane kwindawo ehlala iphathwa kunye nayo nayiphi na indawo esinokuthi siyichonge njengetrafikhi enzima, ngelixa siqinisekisa ukuba sisebenzisa iimveliso ezichanekileyo zokubulala iintsholongwane ukulwa le ntsholongwane. Kwesi siqingatha sonyaka, abantu bafunde ngakumbi ngentsholongwane. Izikhokelo zeCDC nazo zitshintshile. ”
NgokwaMaziko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo (CDC), ukuhanjiswa komphezulu kwe-SARS-CoV-2 ayisiyiyo eyona ndlela iphambili yokuba intsholongwane isasazeke, kwaye umngcipheko uthathwa njengophantsi, kodwa imisebenzi yeYunivesithi yasePenn State isaqhuba. ngaphandle kwenani elikhulu lamanyathelo okuthintela ukucoca. Iinkonzo zangoku zokubamba zingafumaneka kwiwebhusayithi ye-OPP.
Ukongezelela, apho kunokwenzeka khona, i-OPP iya kuqhubeka nokubonelela nge-ventilation yokwakha edlula ubuncinci beemfuno zekhowudi ukulandela isikhokelo se-CDC, iSebe lezeMpilo lasePennsylvania, kunye ne-American Society of Heating, Refrigerator, kunye ne-Air-Conditioning Engineers ( ASHRAE).
Ingxelo ye-CDC yathi "ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, abukho ubungqina obucacileyo bokuba iintsholongwane eziphilayo zisasazeke ngenkqubo ye-HVAC, ebangela ukuba izifo zisasazeke kubantu abakwezinye iindawo ezisetyenziswa yinkqubo efanayo", kodwa iyunivesithi isathatha amanyathelo okuthintela.
"Xa samkela abafundi, ubuhlakani kunye nabasebenzi, kufuneka bazi ukuba asizukusilahla isithembiso sethu sokubonelela ngeendawo ezikhuselekileyo."
U-Andrew Gutberlet, uMphathi weeNkonzo zobuNjineli kwiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania State, usebenze nezinye iingcali ze-OPP ukugqiba umsebenzi weenyanga ezintandathu ukuqinisekisa ukuba umoya wesakhiwo kunye neenkqubo ze-HVAC zisebenza ngokufanelekileyo. UGutberlet uthe lo msebenzi unzima kakhulu kunokuba uvakala, kuba sonke isakhiwo kwiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania State sinenkqubo ekhethekileyo yomatshini ehambelana nayo, kwaye akukho zakhiwo zibini zifana. Isakhiwo ngasinye kwiYunivesithi yasePenn State sihlolwa ngabanye ukufumanisa indlela yokunyusa umoya.
UGutberlet uthe: "Umoya omtsha kwisakhiwo ubalulekile ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokusasazeka kwe-COVID." "Ukuze umoya omtsha ungene kwisakhiwo, kufuneka sinyuse izinga lokungena komoya kangangoko sinakho."
Njengoko kukhankanyiwe ngasentla, i-OPP iphucule ukuhluzwa komoya kumaziko angaphakathi anezihluzo eziphezulu ze-MERV. I-MERV imele ubuncinci bexabiso lengxelo esebenzayo, elinganisa ukusebenza kakuhle kwesihluzo somoya ukususa amasuntswana emoyeni. Uluhlu lwe-MERV luqala kwi-1-20; Okukhona liphezulu inani, kokukhona inkulu ipesenti yongcoliseko oluvalwe sisihluzo. Phambi kobhubhane, uninzi lwezixhobo kwiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania State zasebenzisa ukuhluzwa kwe-MERV 8, okuyindlela eqhelekileyo, esebenzayo, kunye neyonga imali; nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yale meko, i-OPP isekelwe kwiingcebiso ze-ASHRAE zokuphucula inkqubo ukuya kuhluzo lwe-MERV 13. I-ASHRAE ibeka imigangatho eyaziwayo yoyilo lwenkqubo yokungenisa umoya kunye nomgangatho owamkelekileyo womoya wangaphakathi.
"Kwiminyaka eyi-20 edlulileyo, iinjineli ziye zasebenza ukunciphisa umoya wokwakha umoya ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamandla kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi eluhlaza," kusho uGutberlet. "Ukuphendula lo bhubhani, sisebenze nzima ukuguqula lo mkhwa kunye nokuzisa umoya omtsha ngakumbi, odinga ukuba iidyunivesithi zisebenzise amandla amaninzi, kodwa oku kukurhweba kwimpilo yabantu abahlala kwesi sakhiwo."
UGutberlet uthe esinye isisombululo kwezinye izakhiwo kukukhuthaza abahlali ukuba bavule iifestile ezininzi ukunyusa ukujikeleza komoya xa iimeko zemozulu zilungile ngaphandle. I-Penn State iya kuqhubeka nokwandisa ukuhamba komoya ngaphandle kude kube iSebe lezeMpilo lasePennsylvania libonelela ngezikhokelo ezintsha.
UMlawuli wezeMpilo weYunivesithi yasePenn State kunye noKhuseleko uJim Crandall wachaza ukuba iyunivesiti iye yaqhuba phambili i-disinfection kwimisebenzi yokucoca. Ngexesha lobhubhane, i-OPP izibophelele ekulandeleni uphuhliso lweCDC kunye nezikhokelo zeSebe lezeMpilo lasePennsylvania. Guqula inkqubo.
“Xa kufikwa kumba wempendulo yedyunivesithi kwi-COVID-19, iofisi yethu iye yabandakanyeka ekuncedeni uphononongo lwesikhokelo esivela kwi-CDC, iSebe lezeMpilo lasePennsylvania, uthungelwano olubanzi lwamaqela olawulo lwe-coronavirus yeyunivesithi, kunye nenyathelo le-COVID. . Iziko lolawulo lincede ekuchongeni iiyunivesithi ezixhasayo Isicwangciso esifanelekileyo sokusebenza,” utshilo uCrandall.
UCrandall uthe njengoko isiqingatha sonyaka sisondela, iyunivesiti iya kuqhubeka nokulandela izikhokelo zokungenisa umoya ze-ASHRAE kunye nezikhokelo zeCDC zokucoca kunye nemigangatho yokubulala iintsholongwane.
"IPennsylvania yenze iinzame ezinkulu zokwandisa umoya kunye nokucoceka kwesakhiwo ukubuyisela amandla apheleleyo ekhampasi," kusho uCrandall. "Xa samkela abafundi, ubuhlakani kunye nabasebenzi, kufuneka bazi ukuba asizukusilahla isithembiso sethu sokubonelela ngeendawo ezikhuselekileyo."
