Omukka ogufuuyira ttiyaggaasi, okufuuyira entungo, n’ekirungo ekifuga abantu okulongoosa obucaafu n’obujjanjabi obusookerwako¶

Ebirungo ebifuga ekibinja ky’abantu (ebitera okuyitibwa ebiziyiza obujagalalo oba lachrymators) mulimu CS gas (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile), OC pepper spray (oleoresin capsicum), PAVA (pelargonic acid vanillylamide, a synthetic capsaicinoid), ne CN gas (chloroacetophenone / Mace). Ka obe ng’oli mutambuze atakwatibwako n’akwatibwa okumpi n’okwekalakaasa, omutuuze w’omu kitundu ng’eddirisa ly’omuzigo gwe eryaggule lyaleeta omukka ogw’oku nguudo ogukulukuta, munnamawulire, oba omutembeeyi eyafuuyiddwa mu butanwa eddagala erifuuyira okwekuuma, okukwatibwa ennyo kireeta obulumi obw’amangu, obw’amaanyi. Mu sikonda bbiri nga zikwatagana n’ebitundu ebinnyogovu eby’amaaso, ennyindo, emimiro, n’olususu olunnyogovu, ebirungo bino eby’eddagala bikola ku bikwata obulumi (naddala emikutu gya TRPA1 ne TRPV1 ion), ne bivaako okusannyalala kw’ebikowe by’amaaso okutali kwa kyeyagalire (blepharospasm), okuziba amaaso okumala akaseera, okuziyira, okunyiga ekifuba, n’okwokya ennyo okubuna olususu.

Ku bantu abakulu abalamu obulungi abali mu bbanga, ebizibu eby’amaanyi eby’omukka ogubalagala n’okufuuyira entungo bitera kuba bya kaseera buseera era bitandika okukka mu ddakiika 15 ku 45 oluvannyuma lw’okugenda mu mpewo ennungi n’okufuumuula obulungi. Naye, mu bifo ebiggaddwa, nga birimu ebirungo ebingi, oba mu bantu abalina asima, obulwadde bw’amawuggwe obutawona (COPD), obulwadde bw’emisuwa, oba contact lenses, eddagala erifuga ekibinja ky’abantu liyinza okuleeta obulamu bw’omuntu bronchospasm (okulumba asima okw’amaanyi), laryngospasm, okunyiga amaaso, n’okwokya olususu mu ddaala ery’okubiri. Okumanya engeri y’okukolamu okutoloka mu bbugumu ly’omukka oguyitibwa aerosol plume ng’olinnya empewo n’okulinnya, okunaaza obulungi amaaso n’amazzi amayonjo oba omunnyo ogutaliimu buwuka nga tosiiga, weewale enfumo ez’obulabe ez’oku nguudo ng’okuyiwa amata oba eddagala eritta asidi mu maaso, n’okulongoosa engoye mu ngeri ey’obukuumi awaka kiziyiza okulumwa amaaso n’amawuggwe okw’olubeerera.

Kino kikole kati¶

1. Tambula mangu mu mpewo ennungi ng’otambula UPWIND ne UPHILL (obugulumivu obusingako). Ebiwujjo bya ttiyaggaasi n’obutundutundu obufuuse omukka bizitowa nnyo okusinga empewo era bibbira mu nguudo eziri wansi, mu ggaali z’omukka, mu bisenge ebya wansi, ne wansi. Tambula mu bukkakkamu (todduka, kubanga emisinde gikuleetera okussa ennyo era amangu) nga weesimbye ku mpewo oba mu mpewo, era olinnye ku ttaka erya waggulu oba ku lubalaza olw’omwaliiro ogwa waggulu okuva ku kire ky’omukka omweru.
2. Tosiiga maaso go, ffeesi, oba olususu n’emikono gyo. Mu butuufu ggaasi wa CS si ggaasi ku bbugumu erya bulijjo; kire kya obutundutundu bwa butto omugumu obuyitibwa microscopic, sharp crystalline solid powder particles. Okusiiga ebikowe by’amaaso go kisena crystals zino microscopic butereevu ku cornea yo nga sandpaper, ekivaako okunyiga kw’amaaso okuluma, era ne kisaasaanya amafuta ga OC pepper spray mu buziba mu butuli bw’olususu lwo.
3. Ggyawo lenzi amangu ddala n’engalo ennyonjo osuule lenzi ennyogovu. Kontakti lenzi zitega obuwundo obuyitibwa ‘chemical crystals’ n’amafuta ga capsaicin butereevu ku kitundu ky’eriiso lyo wansi wa lenzi, ne kiremesa amazzi okunaaba eddagala lino ne lisaanuuka oba okufuula lenzi za hydrogel ennyogovu ezicaafu enkalakkalira. Sooka onaabe oba okusiimuula engalo zo, nyiga lenzi amangu ago, era lenzi ennyogovu zisuule enkalakkalira.
4. Blink rapidly and flush your eyes from the inner corner (near the nose) outward using clean cool water or sterile saline. Tilt your head sideways over a sink or ground area so the worse eye is facing downward (so contaminated runoff water does not wash across the bridge of your nose into your other eye or down into your mouth). Pour a steady, gentle stream of clean drinking water or sterile 0.9% normal saline from the inner corner of the eye near the nose outward toward the ear for 10 to 15 continuous minutes.
5. NEVER pour milk, liquid antacids (Maalox), vinegar, baking soda paste, or cooking oil into your eyes. Despite widespread internet rumors, pouring unsterile dairy milk, flavoured liquid antacids, or vinegar into eyes that have microscopic chemical scratches introduces bacteria (Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus), fungi, and particulate grit that can cause sight-threatening bacterial keratitis (corneal ulcers). Use only sterile saline or clean potable water inside the eyes.
6. Strip off contaminated outer clothing without pulling shirts over your head, and take a COLD shower. Once you reach a safe bathroom, cut off contaminated pull-over t-shirts with scissors (or unbutton shirts) so you do not drag powder-coated fabric back across your face and eyes. Step into a cold water shower for the first 5 minutes before applying mild dish soap: hot or warm water opens skin pores and reactivates intense burning from crystalline CS powder and capsaicin oil.

Okuzuula ekirungo ky’eddagala: CS Tear Gas vs. OC Pepper Spray vs. CN Mace¶

Okutegeera eddagala ki lye wali ofunye kinnyonnyola engeri gye yeeyisaamu ku mubiri gwo ne ku bintu eby’omu maka. Wadde ng’ebikozesebwa byonna ebiziyiza obujagalalo bireeta okukutuka amangu n’okwokya, kemiko yaabyo ey’omubiri ya njawulo nnyo.

Lwaki CS "Gas" mu butuufu butto omugumu ogulabika obulungi¶

Ekisinga obukulu okutegeera ku ggaasi w’amaziga ga CS kiri nti si ggaasi ntuufu. Ku bbugumu erya bulijjo ery’ebweru, CS ye kirisitaalo enjeru enkalu okufaananako ne butto wa talcum oba endabirwamu ensaanuuse obulungi. Ekibbo kya ttiyaggaasi bwe kikubwa, ekisannyalazo eky’omunda eky’omuliro kibugumya CS enkalu okutuusa lw’efuumuuka mu mpewo; amangu ddala ng’omukka ogwo ogwokya gukuba empewo ennyogovu ey’ebweru, gufuuka ekire ekinene eky’obutundutundu obukalu obulabika obulungi obupima mayiromita emu ku 10 mu buwanvu.**

Kubanga CS butto mukalu akolagana n’obunnyogovu mu ngeri ya kemiko:

• Entuuyo n’obunnyogovu bikola ku kwokya: Ebiwujjo bya CS binywerera ku kyenyi, ensingo, ekiwato, n’essaati ennyogovu ezituuyana. Nga kirisitaalo ekwatagana mpola n’obunnyogovu bw’olususu (hydrolysis), efulumya asidi wa hydrochloric n’ebintu ebimenya ebinyiiza ebitonotono butereevu ku nkomerero z’obusimu bwo.
• Okufuuwa empewo enkalu kiyamba nga tonnaba kunaaba: Bw’omala okuva mu kire kya CS n’oyingira mu mpewo ennungi, okuyimirira mu mpewo ey’amaanyi ng’ogolodde emikono okumala eddakiika 3 ku 5 kisobozesa empewo okufuuwa butto wa CS omukalu asumuluddwa ku nviiri zo n’engoye zo ng’amazzi tegannaba kugikwatako.

Enkola y’okufukirira amaaso mu mutendera ku mutendera (era lwaki eddagala ly’oku nguudo lireeta okuziba amaaso)¶

Amaaso go ge gasinga okutunuulirwa eddagala erifuga abantu abangi. CS crystals oba OC pepper spray droplets bwe zituuka ku tear film ya cornea, trigeminal nerve etandika amangu protective reflex eyitibwa blepharospasm, ebikowe byo bikuba nnyo nga tosobola kubiggulawo by willpower yokka.

Engeri y'okunaazaamu amaaso go oba ag'omuntu omulala nga tolina bulabe¶

1. Omutwe guteeke nga gulengejja ebbali ng’eriiso erikosebwa WANSI: Omuntu oyo yeesigamye mu maaso oba omutwe gwe guserengese ku mabbali mu kkoona lya diguli 45 ku 90 olwo eriiso erifuumuulwa libeere ku wansi. Tokyusa mutwe butereevu emabega ng’oyiwa amazzi ku kyenyi: okuserengesa omutwe emabega kinaaza butto w’eddagala okuva mu kyenyi n’ebisige butereevu mu maaso ne wansi mu kamwa.
2. Kwata ebikowe nga biggule mpola n'engalo bbiri ennyonjo: Olw'okuba obulwadde bwa blepharospasm obutali bwa kyeyagalire busiba ebikowe, amazzi agayiibwa ku bikoola ebiggaddwa tegalina kye gakola kwoza kitundu kya maaso. Teeka engalo yo ennene ennyonjo ku ggumba ly’ebisige erya waggulu ate engalo yo ey’omukono ku ggumba ly’ettama erya wansi (tonyiga butereevu ku kitundu ky’amaaso kyennyini) era osika mpola ebikowe by’amaaso byawule olwo omugga gw’amazzi ne gukuba waggulu w’eriiso.
3. Yiwa okuva mu nsonda ey’omunda (ku bridge y’ennyindo) okutuuka ku nsonda ey’EBWERU: Kwata eccupa y’okufuuwa sterile 0.9% normal saline eye wash oba eccupa ennyonjo ey’amazzi ag’okunywa sentimita 2.5 ku 5 (yinsi emu ku 2) waggulu w’ensonda ey’omunda ey’eriiso (okumpi n’omutala gw’ennyindo). Leka omugga ogunywevu, ogwa puleesa entono gukulukuta okuyita mu liiso ne gudduke okuva mu nsonda ey’ebweru nga guyita mu yeekaalu ne gukka wansi. Omuntu oyo ayiringisize ekitundu ky’amaaso kye waggulu, wansi, ku kkono ne ku ddyo ng’afuuwa olwo obutundutundu obusibye wansi w’ebikowe ebya waggulu n’ebya wansi bunaazibwa.
4. Flush okumala eddakiika 10 ku 15 ezijjuvu: Toyimirira oluvannyuma lw'okufuuwa amazzi okumala sekondi bbiri. Okufuuwa amazzi mu bufunze ku CS crystals kufukirira butto mu kaseera katono era kuyinza okumuleetera okuluma ennyo okumala sekondi 10 nga volume y’amazzi tennatwala crystals. Okufukirira obutasalako okumala eddakiika 10 ku 15 kye kinaaza mu makanika buli ttonsi lya kirisitaalo n’amafuta okuva mu maaso.

Lwaki TOLINA kuteeka mata, Maalox (antacids), vinegar, oba shampoo y’abaana munda mu maaso go¶

Mu biseera by’okwekalakaasa n’obutabanguko mu bantu, abalaba nga balina ebigendererwa ebirungi batera okutambula nga basitudde ebibbo by’amata g’amata, 50/50 ezitabuddwamu eddagala eritta asidi ow’amazzi (LAW: Liquid Antacid and Water, nga Maalox oba Mylanta), amazzi ga sooda, oba ssabbuuni w’abaana okufuuwa mu maaso g’abantu. Abasawo b'amaaso, ebifo ebifuga obutwa, n'ekitongole kya American Academy of Ophthalmology balabula nnyo obutateeka kintu kyonna okuggyako omunnyo ogutaliimu buwuka oba amazzi amayonjo ag'okunywa mu liiso ly'omuntu:

Okulongoosa olususu n’enviiri: enkola y’amazzi agannyogoga ne ssabbuuni w’amasowaani¶

Amaaso go bwe gamala okuzibuka n’okussa kwo nga kunywevu, olina okuggyawo eddagala erikutte ku nviiri, mu maaso, mu bulago n’engoye nga tonnakwata ku bintu by’omu nnyumba, entebe z’emmotoka oba ab’omu maka go awaka.

Omutendera 1: Okweyambula ebweru oba munda mu kinaabiro ekiriko tile¶

• Totambula mu ddiiro lyo eririko kapeti oba okutuula ku sofa yo ey'olugoye ng'oyambala engoye ezifuuyiddwa omukka ogubalagala oba okufuuyira entungo. CS crystals ne OC oils zikyusibwa mangu ne zidda mu upholstery era zijja off-gas nezokya omuntu yenna atuula ku couch eyo okumala wiiki.
• Yingira mu mulyango oguyingira nga guliko tile, galagi oba ekinabiro. Yambala ggalavu za nitrile oba latex ezikozesebwa omulundi gumu bw’oba ​​olina.
• Tosika kiteeteeyi, ssweeta, oba ssweeta eriko obucaafu waggulu ku mutwe gwo. Okusika enkokola ennywevu ku maaso go kisenya butto wa CS yenna n’ebifuuyira entungo ebyatuula ku bibegabega byo n’ekifuba butereevu mu maaso go, ennyindo, ne mu kamwa. Oba sumulula bbaatuuni y’ekyambalo, sooka osika emikono gyo munda mu mikono okugisitula okuva mu maaso go, oba kozesa akasero akazito okusala essaati butereevu waggulu ku musono gw’omu maaso n’ogisekula emabega.
• Suula engoye zonna ezirimu obucaafu, engatto, n’ensawo z’omu mugongo butereevu mu akaveera akazitowa ka kasasiro okasibe okutuusa lw’onooba nga weetegese okubyoza okwawukana.

Omutendera 2: Etteeka ly’okunaabira mu mazzi amayonjo ag’eddakiika 5¶

Bw’oyingira mu ssaawa okunaaba omukka ogubalagala oba okufuuyira entungo ku nviiri n’omubiri gwo, kyusa enkokola y’ebbugumu okutuukira ddala ku COLD (oba cool tepid water) okumala eddakiika 5 ezisooka:

1. Lwaki okunaabira okw’ebbugumu kulumwa: Amazzi agookya oba agabuguma galeeta okugaziwa amangu kw’emisuwa gy’olususu (omusaayi ogufubutuka okutuuka ku lususu), gaggulawo endwadde z’entuuyo n’obutuli obugazi, era gasaanuusa OC resin ne CS crystals ezirimu amafuta ne ziyingira munda mu lususu, ne ziddamu okukola ebbidde ery’amaanyi ery’okwokya mu mubiri gwo gwonna.
2. Yimirira nga weegolodde era weesigame omutwe gwo emabega (oba mu maaso waggulu wa bbaafu) ng’onaaza enviiri: Enviiri zo zikola ng’ekyuma ekisengejja empewo ekinene ekikwata enfuufu ennene ennyo ey’omukka ogubalagala. Bw’osooka okunaaba enviiri zo n’amazzi agannyogoga, toleka mazzi agava mu lususu lw’oku mutwe okukka wansi ku kyenyi kyo ne gayingira mu maaso go ne gakka mu kifuba kyo ne gayingira mu kisambi (enviiri n’ebitundu by’ekyama birina obuwuka obuyitibwa ultra-sensitive mucous membranes obujja okwokya ennyo singa amazzi agakulukuta mu shower agafuuse amakyafu ganaaba wansi ku mubiri gwo). Fukamira mu maaso mu kiwato amazzi g’enviiri gakulukuta butereevu wansi mu ssaawa.
3. Onaaba olususu olufuuyiddwa OC pepper spray ne ssabbuuni ow’amazzi omutono akendeeza amasavu mu ssowaani: Olw’okuba OC pepper spray ye chili oil resin (capsaicin), amazzi amayonjo gokka gayiringisibwa right off the oil ku lususu lwo. Oluvannyuma lw’okunaaba pawuda etali nnene n’amazzi agannyogoga okumala eddakiika 5, fuumuula ffeesi yo (ng’okuuma ebikowe by’amaaso nga biggaddwa mpola), ensingo, emikono, n’emikono n’eddagala eky’okunaaba amasowaani eky’amazzi amatono (nga Dawn oba Fairy liquid) oba eddagala erirongoosa ffeesi eritali lya mafuta nnyo okusobola okufuula emulsify n’okusitula amafuta ga capsaicin ku lususu lwo, olwo onaabe bulungi n’amazzi agannyogoga.
4. Pat dry with disposable paper towels rather than rubbing vigorously with a cloth bath towel.

Engeri y’okukuuma omuzigo oba ennyumba yo singa ttiyaggaasi ateekebwa ku luguudo lwo¶

Ba agenti abafuga abantu bwe bateekebwa ku nguudo z’omu bibuga ebweru w’ebizimbe by’amayumba, yuniti eziri wansi n’ez’okubiri zitera okujjula omukka gwa CS ogukulukuta nga guyita mu nnyatika z’amadirisa, ebyuma ebifuuwa empewo, n’emikutu gy’omukka mu kinaabiro.

Engeri y’okwozaamu engoye ezifuuyira omukka ogubalagala oba ezifuuyira entungo mu ngeri ey’obukuumi¶

Tosuulako jaketi efumbiddwa mu ttiyaggaasi mu kyuma eky’okwoza engoye wamu n’engoye z’omwana wo oba ebitanda byo; eddagala lijja kukyuka ku buli kintu ekiri mu ngoma.

1. Yambala ggalavu za nitrile ezikozesebwa omulundi gumu ng’okyusa engoye okuva mu kaveera okuziteeka mu kyuma eky’okwoza engoye.
2. Teeka ekyuma eky’okwoza ku amazzi gannyogoga gokka, amazzi agasinga obunene, n’enzirukanya y’okunaaba ey’enjawulo.
3. Oteekamu eddagala ery’amazzi erya bulijjo ery’okwoza engoye n’ogattako 120 mililita (ekitundu ky’ekikopo kimu) eza sooda (sodium bicarbonate), ekiyamba okufuula alkaline-hydrolyze n’okufuula ebisigadde bya CS obutabaamu maanyi mu kiseera ky’okunaaba.
4. Dduka cycle y'okunaaba mu nnyonta emirundi ebiri nga tonnakwata ku ngoye.
5. Wanika engoye okukala mu mpewo ebweru oba ku ppaasi okusinga okuziteeka mu kyuma ekikala engoye ekyokya oluvannyuma lw’okusooka okunaaba (ebbugumu ly’engoye ery’amaanyi liyinza okufumba akatono akasigaddewo aka CS oba OC mu biwuzi ebikoleddwa mu butonde n’okufulumya omukka ogunyiiza mu kisenge kyo eky’okwoza engoye).
6. Ku bbuutu ez’amaliba, ensawo za nayirooni, endabirwamu n’essimu ez’amaanyi ezitasobola kugenda mu kyuma eky’okwoza engoye, zisiimuule wansi emirundi esatu ebweru ng’okozesa obutambaala bw’empapula obw’omulundi gumu obunnyikiddwa mu mazzi amayonjo ne ssabbuuni ow’amasowaani omugonvu, buli katambaala k’empapula osuule oluvannyuma lw’okukuba omulundi gumu.
