Ucwaningo olwenziwe eyunivesithi yaseSingapore luthole ukuthi ukungcola okuvela ekukhiqizweni komoya okubangelwa abantu kanye neminye imithombo efana nemililo yasendle kuye kwahlotshaniswa nokufa kwabantu abangafika ezigidini ezingu-135 emhlabeni wonke phakathi kuka-1980 no-2020.
Izehlakalo zesimo sezulu ezifana ne-El Nino kanye ne-Indian Ocean Dipole zenze imiphumela yalezi zingcolisi ibe mibi kakhulu ngokwandisa ukugcwala kwazo emoyeni, kusho iNanyang Technological University yaseSingapore, iveza imiphumela yocwaningo oluholwa abacwaningi bayo.
Izinhlayiya ezincane ezibizwa ngokuthi i-particulate matter 2.5, noma i-“PM 2.5”, ziyingozi empilweni yabantu uma ziphefumula ngoba zincane ngokwanele ukungena egazini. Zivela ezimotweni nasezimbonini kanye nasemithombo yemvelo efana nemililo neziphepho zothuli.
Lezi zinhlayiya ezincane “zihlotshaniswa nokufa kwabantu abangaba yizigidi ezingu-135 ngaphambi kwesikhathi emhlabeni jikelele” kusukela ngo-1980 kuya ku-2020, kusho inyuvesi ngoMsombuluko esitatimendeni salolu cwaningo, esanyatheliswa kuyi-Environment International.
Singahlinzeka ngezinzwa ezahlukahlukene zokulinganisa amagesi ahlukene, ukuze izimboni, izindlu, omasipala kanye nokunye ukuqapha ikhwalithi yomoya ngesikhathi sangempela, ukuvikela impilo yethu, wamukelekile ukubonisana.
