“Malunga ne-25% yabo bonke abantu ababhubha ngenxa yesifo sombefu eNew York State baseBronx,” utshilo uHoller. “Kukho iindlela ezinkulu ezihamba kuyo yonke indawo, kwaye zibeka uluntu esichengeni sokufumana amanqanaba aphezulu ongcoliseko.”
Ukutsha kwepetroli neoyile, ukufudumeza iigesi zokupheka kunye neenkqubo ezisekelwe kwimizi-mveliso zinegalelo kwiinkqubo zokutsha ezikhupha izinto ezincinci (PM) emoyeni. Ezi nxalenye zahlulwa ngobukhulu, kwaye okukhona zincinci, kokukhona ukungcola kuyingozi ngakumbi kwimpilo yabantu.
Uphando lweqela lufumanise ukuba ukupheka kwiindawo zorhwebo kunye nokuhamba kwabantu kudla indima enkulu ekukhutshweni kwezinto ezincinci (PM) ezingaphantsi kwe-2.5 micrometers ububanzi, ubungakanani obuvumela amasuntswana ukuba angene nzulu emiphungeni kwaye abangele iingxaki zokuphefumla kunye nesifo sentliziyo. Bafumanise ukuba iindawo ezinabantu abanengeniso ephantsi, abahlwempuzekileyo njengeBronx zinamanqanaba aphezulu okuvezwa kwizithuthi kunye nokuhamba kwabantu zorhwebo.
“Ii-2.5 [micrometers] zincinci ngokuphindwe kangangama-40 kunobukhulu beenwele zakho,” utshilo uHoller. “Ukuba uthatha iinwele zakho uze uzinqumle zibe ziingceba ezingama-40, uza kufumana into enobukhulu obufana nezi ngceba.”
“Sinezixhobo zokuvavanya ubushushu eluphahleni [lwezikolo ezibandakanyekayo] nakwigumbi lokufundela,” utshilo uHoller. “Kwaye idatha ilandelana ngokusondeleyo ngokungathi akukho kuhluzwa kwenkqubo ye-HVAC.”
“Ukufikelela kwidatha kubalulekile kwimizamo yethu yokufikelela ebantwini,” utshilo uHoller. “Le datha inokukhutshelwa ukuze ihlalutywe ngabafundisi nabafundi ukuze bakwazi ukuqwalasela izizathu kunye nokuhambelana nezinto abazibonileyo kunye nedatha yemozulu yendawo.”
“Besinee-webinars apho abafundi baseJonas Bronck bebebonisa iipowusta ezithetha ngongcoliseko kwiindawo abahlala kuzo kunye nendlela abavakalelwa ngayo yi-asthma yabo,” utshilo uHoller. “Bayayiqonda loo nto. Kwaye, ndicinga ukuba xa beqonda ukungalingani kongcoliseko kunye nalapho iimpembelelo zimbi khona, kuyachukumisa ngokwenene.”
Kwabanye abemi baseNew York, umba womgangatho womoya uyatshintsha ubomi.
“Bekukho umfundi omnye e-All Hallows [High School] owaqala ukwenza uphando lwakhe lonke malunga nomgangatho womoya,” utshilo uHoller. “Wayenesifo sesifuba kwaye le micimbi yobulungisa bendalo yayiyinxalenye yesizathu sakhe sokufuna ukuya kwisikolo [sezonyango].”
“Esinethemba lokukufumana kukubonelela uluntu ngedatha yokwenyani ukuze bakwazi ukusebenzisa abezopolitiko ukuba benze utshintsho,” utshilo uHoller.
Le projekthi ayinasiphelo sicacileyo, kwaye ingathatha iindlela ezininzi zokwandisa. Iikhompawundi ze-organic eziguquguqukayo kunye nezinye iikhemikhali nazo zichaphazela kakubi umgangatho womoya kwaye okwangoku azilinganiswa zizinzwa zomoya. Idatha ingasetyenziselwa ukufumana unxibelelwano phakathi komgangatho womoya kunye nedatha yokuziphatha okanye amanqaku ovavanyo ezikolweni kulo lonke isixeko.
