Ngemizamo eyenziwayo yokuvimbela izinhlamvu ezisekelwe kumthofu njengengozi engaba yingozi empilweni nasemvelweni, ososayensi babika ubufakazi obusha bokuthi enye into eyinhlokobullets - tungsten- kungase kungabi esikhundleni esihle Umbiko, othole ukuthi i-tungsten inqwabelana ezakhiweni ezinkulu zamasosha omzimba ezilwaneni, uvela kujenali ye-ACS.Ucwaningo Lwekhemikhali ku-Toxicology.

UJose Centeno kanye nozakwabo bachaza ukuthi ama-tungsten alloys angeniswe esikhundleni somthofu wezinhlamvu nezinye izikhali.Kwaba umphumela wokukhathazeka ngokuthi umthofu ophuma ezinhlamvini ezisetshenzisiwe ungalimaza izilwane zasendle lapho uncibilika emanzini enhlabathini, emifudlaneni nasemachibini.Ososayensi bacabanga ukuthi i-tungsten yayingenabo ubuthi uma kuqhathaniswa, futhi ithatha indawo “eluhlaza” yomthofu.Ucwaningo lwakamuva luphakamise okuhlukile, futhi ngamanani amancane e-tungsten asetshenziswa ezinqulwini nasemadolweni okwenziwa, iqembu likaCenteno lanquma ukuqoqa ulwazi olwengeziwe nge-tungsten.

Bengeze amanani amancane enhlanganisela ye-tungsten emanzini okuphuza amagundane aselabhorethri, asetshenziswa njengezindawo zokumbelela abantu ocwaningweni olunjalo, futhi bahlola izitho nezicubu ukuze babone ukuthi i-tungsten yaphelelaphi.Ukugxila okuphezulu kakhulu kwe-tungsten kwakusebeni, esinye sezingxenye eziyinhloko zesimiso sokuzivikela komzimba, namathambo, isikhungo noma "umnkantsha" wawo umthombo wokuqala wawo wonke amangqamuzana amasosha omzimba.Bathi, ucwaningo olwengeziwe luzodingeka ukuze kutholwe ukuthi yimiphi imiphumela, uma ikhona, i-tungsten engaba nayo ekusebenzeni kwamasosha omzimba.
