Kei te tupu tonu ngā tauhohenga matū i ngā wā katoa—he mārama noa iho ina whakaarohia, engari e hia o tātou e mahi ana i tēnei ina tīmata tātou i tētahi motuka, ina kohuatia he hua manu, ina whakawairakau rānei i tā tātou kari?
Kua roa a Richard Kong, te tohunga whakakorikori matū, e whakaaro ana ki ngā tauhohenga matū. I roto i tana mahi hei "kaiwhakatikatika ngaio," e ai ki tāna, ehara i te mea ko ngā tauhohenga e puta ake ana i a rātou anō anake tana e hiahia ana, engari ko te tautuhi anō hoki i ngā tauhohenga hou.
Hei Hoa Klarman i roto i te Matū me te Koiora Matū i te Kāreti o ngā Toi me ngā Pūtaiao, e mahi ana a Kong ki te whakawhanake i ngā whakakorikori e akiaki ana i ngā tauhohenga matū ki ngā putanga e hiahiatia ana, e hanga ana i ngā hua haumaru, tae atu ki ngā hua tāpiri uara, tae atu ki ērā ka pā pai ki te hauora o te tangata. Wenerei.
"He nui ngā tauhohenga matū ka puta noa i te kore āwhina," te kī a Kong, e pā ana ki te tukunga o te hauhā waro ina tahuna e ngā motuka ngā wahie pūmua. "Engari kāore ngā tauhohenga matū uaua ake e puta aunoa. Koinei te wāhi e whai wāhi ai te whakakorikori matū."
I whakawhanakehia e Kong mā āna hoa mahi ngā whakakorikori hei whakahaere i ngā tauhohenga i hiahiatia e rātou. Hei tauira, ka taea te huri i te hauhā waro ki te waikawa formic, te methanol, te formaldehyde rānei mā te whiriwhiri i te whakakorikori tika me te whakamātautau i ngā āhuatanga tauhohenga.
E ai ki a Kyle Lancaster, Ahorangi Matū me te Koiora Matū (A&S) me te kaiwhakahaere a Kong, he pai te huarahi a Kong ki te huarahi "kitenga-arahi" o te taiwhanga a Lancaster. "I a Richard te whakaaro ki te whakamahi i te tine hei whakapai ake i tana matū, kāore i roto i taku tuhinga," te kī a Lancaster. "He whakakorikori tana e taea ai te huri i te hauhā waro, e kōrerohia ana i roto i ngā pāpāho, hei mea nui ake."
Nō nā tata nei i kitea e Kong mā rātou ko āna hoa mahi tētahi pūnaha e taea ai te huri i te hauhā waro hei waikawa formic i raro i ētahi āhuatanga.
"Ahakoa kāore anō kia tino matatau ki te arotau, he tino āhei te whakarite i tā mātou pūnaha," te kī a Kong. "Mā tēnei, ka taea e tātou te tīmata ki te mārama ake he aha i tere ake ai te mahi a ētahi whakakorikori i ētahi atu, he aha hoki i pai ake ai ētahi whakakorikori. Ka taea e tātou te whakarerekē i ngā tawhā o ngā whakakorikori me te ngana ki te mārama he aha te mea e tere ake ai te mahi a ēnei mea, nā te mea ka tere ake tā rātou mahi, ka pai ake tā rātou mahi, ka tere ake te hanga i ngā ngota."
Hei Kaihautū o Klarman, kei te mahi anō a Kong ki te tango i ngā nitrates, he tongi noa e mimiti paitini ana ki roto i ngā awa, mai i te taiao, ā, ka huri hei matū kore kino, e ai ki tāna.
I whakamātau a Kong i te whakamahi i ngā konganuku i kitea i roto i te whenua, pērā i te konumohe me te tine, hei whakakorikori. He iti te utu o ngā konganuku, kāore he paitini, ā, he nui hoki i roto i te kirinuku o te whenua, nō reira, e ai ki tāna, kāore e raru te oranga tonutanga o aua konganuku.
"Kei te mahi anō hoki mātou ki te hanga i ngā whakakorikori e taunekeneke ai ngā konganuku e rua," te kī a Kong. "Mā te whakamahi i ngā konganuku e rua i roto i te anga kotahi, he aha ngā tauhohenga me ngā tukanga matū whakamere ka taea e mātou te whiwhi mai i ngā pūnaha bimetallic?"
"Ko ngā ngahere te taiao matū e pupuri ana i ēnei konganuku – he mea nui ēnei hei whakatuwhera i te pūmanawa o ēnei konganuku ki te mahi i tā rātou mahi, pērā i te hiahia ki ngā kākahu tika mō te rangi tika," te kī a Kong.
Mō ngā tau 70 kua pahure ake nei, ko te paerewa ko te whakamahi i tētahi pokapū whakarewa kotahi hei whakatutuki i ngā whakawhiti matū, engari i roto i ngā tau tekau kua pahure ake nei, kua tīmata ngā kaimātai matū o te mara ki te rangahau i te hononga o ngā whakarewa e rua, i te taha matū, i te taha tata rānei. Tuatahi, e ai ki a Kong, "Ka nui ake ngā nekehanga herekoretanga ka hoatu ki a koe."
Mā ēnei whakakorikori rua-whakarewa ka taea e ngā kaimātai matū te whakakotahi i ngā whakakorikori whakarewa i runga i ō rātou kaha me ō rātou ngoikoretanga, e ai ki a Kong. Hei tauira, ko tētahi pokapū whakarewa e kore e pai te piri ki ngā papa engari e pakaru pai ana ngā hononga, ka mahi tahi pea me tētahi atu pokapū whakarewa e kore e pai te pakaru o ngā hononga engari e pai ana te piri ki ngā papa. Ka pā anō hoki te noho o te tuarua o ngā whakarewa ki ngā āhuatanga o te tuatahi o ngā whakarewa.
"Ka taea e koe te tīmata ki te whiwhi i te mea e kiia nei e mātou he pānga mahi tahi i waenga i ngā pokapū whakarewa e rua," te kī a Kong. "Kei te tīmata kē te mara o te whakaterenga bimetallic ki te whakaatu i ētahi tauhohenga ahurei me te whakamiharo."
I kī a Kong he maha tonu ngā āwangawanga mō te hononga o ngā konganuku ki a rātou anō i roto i ngā pūhui ngota. I tino harikoa ia ki te ataahua o te matū, pērā i tana harikoa ki ngā hua. I kawea mai a Kong ki Lancaster Laboratories mō ō rātou tohungatanga ki te tirotiro hihi-X.
"He hononga tahi tēnei," te kī a Lancaster. "Nā te tirotiro hihi-X i āwhina a Richard ki te mārama ki ngā mea e tupu ana i muri i ngā whakaaturanga me te aha e tino tauhohe ai te tine me te kaha ki tēnei tauhohenga matū. I whai hua mātou i tana mōhiotanga whānui ki te matū rōpū nui, i huaki ai te kuaha mō te rōpū ki tētahi wāhi hou."
Ko te pūtake o te matū me te rangahau te kaupapa matua, e ai ki a Kong, ā, nā te karahipi Open Klarman i taea ai tēnei huarahi.
"I tētahi rā noa, ka taea e au te whakahaere i ngā tauhohenga i roto i te taiwhanga, te noho rānei ki te rorohiko e whakatauira ana i ngā ngota," tana kī. "Kei te ngana mātou ki te tiki i te pikitia tino whānui o te mahi matū."
