"Pafupifupi 25% mwa anthu onse omwe amafa ndi mphumu ku New York State ali ku Bronx," adatero Holler. "Pali misewu ikuluikulu yomwe ikudutsa m'malo onse, ndikuyika anthu ammudzi kuzinthu zowononga kwambiri."

Kuwotcha mafuta a petulo ndi mafuta, kutentha kwa mpweya wophikira komanso njira zambiri zopangira mafakitale zimathandizira kuyaka komwe kumatulutsa zinthu zina (PM) mumlengalenga. Tinthu tating'onoting'ono timeneti timasiyanitsidwa ndi kukula kwake, ndipo tinthu tating'onoting'ono timakhala towopsa kwambiri pa thanzi la munthu.

Kafukufuku wa gululo adapeza kuti kuphika kwamalonda ndi kuchuluka kwa magalimoto kumatenga gawo lalikulu pakutulutsa kwa particulate matter (PM) pansi pa ma micrometer 2.5 m'mimba mwake, kukula komwe kumalola kuti tinthu tating'onoting'ono tilowe m'mapapo ndikuyambitsa zovuta za kupuma komanso matenda amtima. Iwo adapeza kuti madera omwe amapeza ndalama zochepa, omwe ali ndi umphawi wambiri ngati Bronx amakhala ndi mwayi wambiri wokhudzana ndi magalimoto komanso magalimoto.

"2.5 [ma micrometer] ndi ocheperako kuwirikiza 40 kuposa makulidwe a tsitsi lanu," adatero Holler. "Mukatenga tsitsi lanu ndikulidula m'zidutswa 40, mupeza china chake chofanana ndi tinthu ting'onoting'ono."

"Tili ndi masensa padenga [la masukulu omwe akukhudzidwa] komanso m'kalasi imodzi," adatero Holler. "Ndipo zambiri zimatsatana kwambiri ngati kuti palibe kusefera mu dongosolo la HVAC."

"Kupeza zidziwitso ndikofunikira kwambiri pakuyesetsa kwathu kufalitsa," adatero Holler. "Zidziwitsozi zitha kutsitsidwa kuti aziunika ndi aphunzitsi ndi ophunzira kuti athe kulingalira zomwe zimayambitsa komanso kulumikizana ndi zomwe akuwona komanso zanyengo yakumaloko."

"Takhala ndi ma webinars omwe ophunzira ochokera ku Jonas Bronck amawonetsa zikwangwani zonena za kuipitsa m'dera lawo komanso momwe mphumu yawo imamvera," adatero Holler. "Iwo akupeza. Ndipo, ndikuganiza kuti akazindikira kufanana kwa kuwononga chilengedwe komanso komwe kumakhudza kwambiri, zimafika kunyumba."

Kwa anthu ena okhala ku New York, nkhani ya mpweya wabwino ikusintha moyo.

"Panali wophunzira m'modzi ku All Hallows [Sekondale] yemwe adayamba kuchita kafukufuku wake pazabwino za mpweya," adatero Holler. "Iyeyo anali ndi mphumu ndipo nkhani za chilungamo cha chilengedwe zinali zina mwa zomwe zidamulimbikitsa kuti apite kusukulu [yachipatala]."

"Chomwe tikuyembekeza kuti titulukemo ndikupereka chidziwitso chenicheni kwa anthu ammudzi kuti athe kulimbikitsa ndale kuti asinthe," adatero Holler.

Ntchitoyi ilibe mapeto enieni, ndipo ikhoza kutenga njira zambiri zowonjezera. Ma organic organic compounds ndi mankhwala ena amawononganso mpweya wabwino ndipo sakuyesedwa pakali pano ndi masensa a mpweya. Zambirizi zitha kugwiritsidwanso ntchito kupeza kulumikizana pakati pa mawonekedwe a mpweya ndi data yamakhalidwe kapena mayeso m'masukulu amzinda wonse.
