Uthini umahluko phakathi kwengubo yekotoni kunye ilaphu le-asbestos?

Ilaphu lomqhaphu luhlobo lwelaphu elilukiweyo elinemisonto yomqhaphu njengento ekrwada; iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zithathwe ngenxa yenkcazo yentlangano eyahlukeneyo kunye neendlela ezahlukeneyo zasemva kokulungiswa.

Ilaphu lomqhaphu lineempawu zokunxiba ezithambileyo nezikhululekileyo, ukugcinwa kobushushu, ukufunxa ukufuma, ukungeneka komoya owomeleleyo, kunye nokudaya ngokulula kunye nokugqiba. Ngenxa yeempawu zayo zendalo, kudala ithandwa ngabantu kwaye iye yaba yinto eyimfuneko kubomi bemihla ngemihla.

Ilaphu le-asbestos lenziwe ikakhulu ngamalaphu e-fiber-retardant fibre, ecutshungulwa yinkqubo ekhethekileyo, kwaye inesakhiwo esihlangeneyo kunye nokumelana nobushushu obuphezulu, obunokuthintela okanye ukwahlula ukutsha. Iimpawu eziphambili: i-flame retardant, ukumelana nobushushu obuphezulu, ukungatsha xa kukho umlilo, ukuxhathisa i-corrosion, ukumelana nezinambuzane, kunokunciphisa ngokufanelekileyo iingozi zomlilo, ukwandisa amathuba okuphuma, ukunciphisa izingozi, kunye nokugcina ubomi babantu kunye nokhuseleko lwepropathi.
