“Cishe ama-25% abo bonke abantu ababulawa yi-asthma eNew York State aseBronx,” kusho uHoller. “Kunemigwaqo emikhulu edlula kuyo yonke indawo, futhi ebeka umphakathi emazingeni aphezulu okungcola.”
Ukushisa uphethiloli kanye namafutha, ukushisa amagesi okupheka kanye nezinqubo eziningi ezisekelwe ekuthuthukisweni kwezimboni zifaka isandla ezinqubweni zokushisa ezikhipha izinto ezincane (PM) emoyeni. Lezi zinhlayiya zihlukaniswa ngobukhulu, futhi uma zincane, kulapho ukungcola kuba yingozi khona empilweni yabantu.
Ucwaningo lwethimba luthole ukuthi ukupheka kwezentengiselwano kanye nokuminyana kwezimoto kudlala indima enkulu ekukhishweni kwezinhlayiya (PM) ngaphansi kwama-micrometer angu-2.5 ububanzi, usayizi ovumela izinhlayiya ukuthi zingene zijule emaphashini futhi zibangele izinkinga zokuphefumula kanye nesifo senhliziyo. Bathole ukuthi izindawo ezinabantu abahola kancane, abampofu kakhulu njengeBronx zinamazinga aphezulu kakhulu okuchayeka ezimotweni kanye nasezimotweni zezentengiselwano.
“Ama-micrometer angu-2.5 acishe abe mancane ngokuphindwe ka-40 kunobukhulu bezinwele zakho,” kusho uHoller. “Uma uthatha izinwele zakho uzinqume zibe yizicucu ezingu-40, uzothola okuthile okucishe kube usayizi walezi zinhlayiya.”
“Sinezinzwa ophahleni [lwezikole ezihilelekile] kanye nakwelinye lamakilasi,” kusho uHoller. “Futhi idatha ilandelana eduze njengokungathi akukho ukuhluzwa ohlelweni lwe-HVAC.”
“Ukufinyelela idatha kubalulekile emizamweni yethu yokufinyelela umphakathi,” kusho uHoller. “Le datha ingalandwa ukuze ihlaziywe ngabafundisi nabafundi ukuze bakwazi ukucabangela izimbangela kanye nokuhlobana nokubona kwabo kanye nedatha yesimo sezulu sendawo.”
“Sibe nama-webinar lapho abafundi baseJonas Bronck bebethula khona amaphosta bekhuluma ngokungcola ezindaweni zabo nokuthi i-asthma yabo izizwa kanjani,” kusho uHoller. “Bayakuqonda. Futhi, ngicabanga ukuthi lapho beqaphela ukungalingani kokungcola nokuthi lapho imiphumela imbi kakhulu, kuthinta ngempela.”
Kwabanye abantu baseNew York, udaba lwekhwalithi yomoya lushintsha impilo.
“Kwakukhona umfundi oyedwa e-All Hallows [High School] owaqala ukwenza lonke ucwaningo lwakhe ngekhwalithi yomoya,” kusho uHoller. “Wayenesifo sofuba futhi lezi zinkinga zobulungiswa bezemvelo zaziyingxenye yesisusa sakhe sokufuna ukuya esikoleni [sezokwelapha].”
“Esithemba ukuthi sizokuthola kukho ukunikeza umphakathi idatha yangempela ukuze ukwazi ukusiza osopolitiki ukuthi benze izinguquko,” kusho uHoller.
Lo msebenzi awunaso isiphetho esiqondile, futhi ungathatha izindlela eziningi zokwandisa. Amakhemikhali e-organic aguquguqukayo kanye namanye amakhemikhali nawo athinta kabi ikhwalithi yomoya futhi okwamanje akalinganiswa yizinzwa zomoya. Idatha ingasetshenziswa futhi ukuthola ukuhlobana phakathi kwekhwalithi yomoya kanye nedatha yokuziphatha noma amaphuzu okuhlolwa ezikoleni kulo lonke idolobha.
