Uninzi lwabemi basezidolophini baseYurophu bachaphazeleka ngamanqanaba angakhuselekanga ongcoliseko lomoya. Ukuphucula umgangatho womoya ukuze uhambelane namanqanaba acetyiswa yi-World Health Organisation (WHO) kunokuthintela ukufa kwangaphambi kwexesha okubangelwa kukuvezwa kwizinto ezincinci.

Ukukhutshwa kongcoliseko lomoya kuye kwehla kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini edlulileyo, nto leyo ebangele ukuba umgangatho womoya ube ngcono. Nangona olu phuculo lukhona, ungcoliseko lomoya lusengumngcipheko omkhulu kwimpilo yokusingqongileyo eYurophu. Ukuvezwa kwi-fine particles kunye namanqanaba e-nitrogen dioxide ngaphezulu kweengcebiso ze-World Health Organisation kubangela ukufa okuqikelelwa kwi-253,000 kunye ne-52,000 ngaphambi kwexesha, ngokulandelelana, ngo-2021. Ezi ngcoliseko zinxulunyaniswa ne-asthma, isifo sentliziyo kunye ne-stroke.
Ungcoliseko lomoya lubangela ukugula. Abantu baphila nezifo ezinxulumene nokuchatshazelwa lungcoliseko lomoya; oku kumthwalo xa kuthelekiswa nokubandezeleka kwabantu kunye neendleko ezinkulu kwicandelo lezempilo.

Abona bantu basesichengeni kakhulu kuluntu basengozini enkulu yempembelelo yongcoliseko lomoya. Amaqela asezantsi kwezentlalo-qoqosho adla ngokuchatshazelwa kumanqanaba aphezulu ongcoliseko lomoya, ngelixa abantu abadala, abantwana kunye nabo baneengxaki zempilo esele zikhona basengozini enkulu. Ukufa okungaphezulu kwe-1,200 kubantu abangaphantsi kweminyaka eli-18 ubudala kuqikelelwa ukuba kubangelwa lungcoliseko lomoya minyaka le kumazwe angamalungu e-EEA nasebenzisana nawo.

Ngaphandle kweengxaki zempilo, ungcoliseko lomoya lunokuchaphazela kakhulu uqoqosho lwaseYurophu ngenxa yokunyuka kweendleko zonyango, ukuncipha kwexesha lokuphila, kunye nokulahleka kweentsuku zokusebenza kumacandelo onke. Kwakhona konakalisa izityalo kunye ne-ecosystem, umgangatho wamanzi kunye nomhlaba, kunye ne-ecosystem yasekuhlaleni.

Singabonelela ngee-sensors zomgangatho womoya ezifanelekileyo ukujonga iintlobo ngeentlobo zegesi kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo, wamkelekile ukubuza.
