Waa maxay kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide)? What is carbon monoxide?
Kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) waa hawada dadku banaanka u neefsadaan, sida badanna waxaa loo yaqaan CO, waana gaas (hawo) sun ah. Kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) ma aha mid la arki karo, la urin karo ama la dhadhansan karo. Sunteedu waxay waxyeello yeelan kartaa inta badan, marka iyadoo tiro badan ay gurigaaga ku jirto, ama in yar oo iyada ah ay maalmo badan ku jirto hawada gurigaaga. Sidaasoo kale gaaska kaarboonku wuxuu ka dhalan karaa marka la isticmaalo: basiinka, olyada baabuurta, gaaska faynuusta, qoryaha la shito, dhuxusha dhirta iyo tan dhulka laga soo qodoba.

 Carbon monoxide, often called CO, is a poisonous gas. You cannot see, smell, or taste it. Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen when you have a large amount of this gas in the air in your home at one time, or smaller amounts of the gas in the air for several days. Carbon monoxide is produced when fuels like gas, oil, kerosene, wood, charcoal, or coal burn.
Kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) haddaannu ku sumownno maxay jirkayaga u dhimi kartaa? What does carbon monoxide poisoning do to our bodies?
Haddii aad ku sumowdo kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide), waxay keeni kartaa: madax xanuun, jahwareer, daal, ama xanuun caloosha kaa qabta. Haddii adiga iyo reerkaagu aad dareentaan xanuunada aan soo xusnay oo kale, kadibna aad caafimaad dareentaan marka aad guriga dibedda uga baxdaan, hadana xanuunnada kor ku xusani ay idinku soo noqdaan markaad guriga dib ugu soo laabataan, waxay u badantahay in uu ku hayo xanuun ka yimid sun ka dhalatay kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide)-ka gurigaaga (ku jirta).

 Carbon monoxide poisoning can make you headachy, dizzy, tired, or sick to your stomach. If you and your family feel this way in your home, and then get better when you leave your home, and then get the same sick feelings back when you return home, you may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) waa ku dili kartaa.


Carbon Monoxide Can Kill You.


Sideebaan kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) uga ilaalin karaa gurigayga? How do I keep carbon monoxide from getting into my home?
Kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) waxay guriga soo geli kartaa marka aad shidato(gubto) shidaallada guryaha lagu diiriyo(xilliga qaboobaha), ama biyaha lagu kululaysto, ama marka wax la karinayo (cuntada). Waxaa jirta in loogu talagalay in uu kaarboonkaas dibadda u saaro qalab ku xiran qalabka wax lagu kululaysto ee guryaha ku rakiban, waxaa maraka qaarkood dhici karta inaysan shaqaynayn tuubada (marinka) qaaca saara ee saqafyada guryaha ka taagan, kadibna gaasaskii gubanayey (qiiqoodii) ay gurigaaga dib uugu soo noqdan. Sidoo kale kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide)-ka ay siidayso baabuurta iskaabamiintadoodu, waxaa dhici karta in ay gurigaaga uga soo gudubto garashka, hadduu guriga ku dheggan yahay.

 Carbon monoxide can get in your home when fuels are burned to heat your home, to heat water, or when cooking. Your heating equipment should vent (send) this gas outside of your house. Sometimes chimneys don’t work well and the burning gases get into your house. Carbon monoxide in car exhaust may leak into your home from an attached garage.
Figure 1
Hawada qolku waxay ku darmataa gaasaska ka dhasha shidaalada guriga dhexdiisa laga isticmaalo, kadibna waxay raacaan qiiq saartada. Waa in hawadoo dhami ay kor u raacdo qiiq saartada, ee maha in ay hoos u raacdo. Marka biyo kulayliyaha gurigaaga ama haanta olyada la shito ololisa ay wax diirinayaan, waa in uu kulayl noqdaa ka isku xira dhuumaha hawada qaada.

 Air in the room mixes with the burning gases and goes up the chimney. All air should flow up the chimney, not down. When your furnace or water heater is heating, the vent connector should be very hot to the touch.
Yaa halis ku jira oo looga baqayaa in uu ku sumoobo kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide)-ka? Who is at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning?
Qof kasta oo kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) jiidaha halis ayuu u yahay inuu sumoobo, gaar ahaan marka in badani hawada ku jirto. Qof Kasta! Laakiin waxay kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide)-ku si gaar ah halis ugu tahay haweenka uurka leh, carruurta ay sidaan, caruurta yar yar, waayeelka, iyo kuwa qaba dhiig yari, cudurada wadnaha ama sambabada.

 Everyone can be poisoned by breathing in too much carbon monoxide. Everyone! But this gas is especially dangerous for pregnant women and their unborn babies, infants, children, elderly people, and people who have anemia or some heart and lung health problems.
Sidee baan ku ogaan karaa haddii kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) badan ay gurigayga ku jirto? How can I find out if my home has too much carbon monoxide in it?
Kuwa xirfadda u leh arimaha caafimaadka la xiriira iyo kuwa khibradda u leh (dayactirka) qalabka wax lagu kululeeyo, waxay ku taliyaan in u yeerato qof tababar u leh sida loo fiiriyo qalabka wax lagu kululeeyo, (haddii kale) adigu waad ku rakiban kartaa gurigaaga qalabka loogu talagalay inuu kuu digo (detector) marka gurigaaga kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide)-ku ku badan yahay. Qalabkaa waxaad ku rakibi karta qolka jiifka agtiisa, si uu reerka oo dhan ugu digo marka kaarboonku ku bato guriga. Qalabkaas qiimihiisu waa kala duwan yahay, wuxuuse u dhexeeyaa $30 ilaa $50. Waxaad qalabkaa ka soo iibsan kartaa dukaamadda lagu iibsho qalabka loo isticmaalo guryaha ama kuwa gada alaabada qiimahooda la dhimay.

 Health professionals and heating equipment experts recommend that you have a trained person check your heating equipment. You can install a carbon monoxide detector with an alarm in your home.
Figure 2
Carbon monoxide detector

Kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) ka dige

Install this detector near bedrooms so that the detector’s alarm will wake your family if too much carbon monoxide is in the air. Detectors can vary in cost from about $30 to $50. You can buy them at hardware and discount stores.
Maxaan sameeyaa haddii kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) ku badato gurigayga? What do I do if the alarm on my detector rings?
Ugu horayn ka saar reerkaaga guriga, ka dibna wac gargaarka degdeg ah 911. Inaad arinkan (taladan) yeesho waa lama huraan haddii qof reerkaaga ka mid ahi uu xanuunsado kaarboonkaa darteed. Qofka (gargaarka degdeg ah ) taleefanka ka jawaabaya wuxuu ku waydiin doonaa su’aalo, si uu u go’aansado inaad u baahan tahay gargaar degdeg ah iyo in kale (sida:amblaas & dab demis). Haddiise aan gargaar degdeg ah loo baahnayn (samee sidatan hoos ku cad):

1) fur dariishadaha (gurigaaga)

2) hadday kuu suurawdo, xir qalabka loo adeegsado (diirinta guriga xilliga qaboobaha)

3) La xiriir kan gurigaaga shidaalka ku shuba ama qof loo tababaray dayac-tirka qalabka kululaynta guryaha ama qiiq saaridda (xilliga qabowga)

 Get the family outside and call 911. This is very important if anyone in your family feels sick.

The operator will ask you questions to see if an emergency response (fire department or ambulance) is necessary. If not an emergency:

1) open windows

2) if possible, shut off fuel-burning equipment

3) contact your fuel supplier or someone trained to repair heating equipment or chimneys.
Haddii gurigayga ay ka jirto dhibaato kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide), sidee wax uga qaban karaa? If I have a carbon monoxide problem in my home, how can I fix it?
Hoygaad degan tahay hadduu yahay kiro, la xiriir qofka iska leh ama maamula dhismahaada aad ijaarka ka dhiibtid. Haddiise aad leedahay guri, la xiriir kan shidaalka u keena ama mid xirfad u leh sida loo dayac-tiro qalabka kululaynta guryaha. Iyaga ayaa tijaabin doona qalabkaaga, ka dibna (isku dayi doona ) inay helaan meesha ay ka imaanayso kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide)-ku, ka dibna way hagaajin doonaan ama waxay kuu sheegi doonaan cidda wax ka qaban karta.

 If you rent your home, call the landlord or the building manager who collects your rent.

If you own your home, call your fuel supplier or someone who is trained to repair heating equipment. They will test your equipment, find the source of the carbon monoxide, and fix it or tell you who can fix it.
Sidee baan reerkayga & naftaydaba uga badbaadin karaa sunta kaarboonka? How can I protect myself and my family from carbon monoxide poisoning?
Hubi inay dhammaan si fiican u shaqaynayaan, qalabka guryaha kululeeya, kan qiiqa saara iyo dhuumaha qiiqu ama hawaduba sii marto.

Soo gagoado qalabka digniinta bixiya marka gaaska kaarboonku uu ku badan yahay gurigaaga, kuna rakib meel u dhaw qolka (qolalka) hurdada.

Dhuxul haddaad shidaysid ama aad isticmaasho qalabka wax lagu solo, ha ku samayn guriga gudahiisa, ee dibeddiisa u isticmaal oo kabya. Gaar ahaan haddii garaashka baabuurta aad ku xaraysato uu ku dhegan yahay guriga.

Marna ha ka tegin gaarigaaga oo shidan, kan barafka (guriga ka xaaqa) oo shidan, ama kan lagu jaro cawska gurigaaga hortiisa ka baxa oo shidan, gaar ahaan markay ku jiraan garaashkaaga, waayo halis waxaad u tahay in kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) gurigaaga u soo gudubto.

Ha u isticmaalin makiinada cunada in aad guriga ku kululaysid. Waayo ololiyaasha makiinada cunada waxay ku sii daayaan guriga kaarboon moono oksaydh (monoxide) badan.

 Make sure that heating equipment, chimneys, and vent pipes are in good condition.

Buy a carbon monoxide detector and install it near your family’s bedrooms.

Burn charcoal or use outdoor gas grills only outside your house. Do not use inside your house, or in your garage if it is attached to your house.

Never leave your car motor, snowblower, or lawn mower running in an attached garage so that carbon monoxide does not leak into your house.

Do not use a gas range or oven to heat your home. The oven burners will make too much carbon monoxide inside your house.
