"Pafupifupi 25% ya imfa zonse zokhudzana ndi mphumu ku New York State zili ku Bronx," adatero Holler. "Pali misewu ikuluikulu yomwe ikudutsa paliponse, ndipo imayambitsa anthu ammudzi ku zinthu zodetsa kwambiri."

Kuwotcha mafuta ndi mafuta, kutentha mpweya wophikira ndi njira zambiri zochokera ku mafakitale zimathandiza kuti zinthu zoyaka zitulutse tinthu tating'onoting'ono (PM) mumlengalenga. Tinthu tating'onoting'onoti timasiyanitsidwa malinga ndi kukula kwake, ndipo tinthu tating'onoting'ono tikakhala tating'ono, zinthu zoipitsa zimakhala zoopsa kwambiri pa thanzi la anthu.

Kafukufuku wa gululi adapeza kuti kuphika m'masitolo ndi kuchuluka kwa anthu m'masitolo kumachita gawo lalikulu pa kutulutsa kwa tinthu tating'onoting'ono (PM) tomwe tili pansi pa mainchesi 2.5 m'mimba mwake, kukula komwe kumalola tinthu tating'onoting'ono kulowa mkati mwa mapapo ndikuyambitsa mavuto opuma komanso matenda a mtima. Adapeza kuti madera omwe ali ndi ndalama zochepa komanso osauka kwambiri monga Bronx ali ndi kuchuluka kwakukulu kwa magalimoto ndi magalimoto amalonda.

“2.5 [ma micrometer] ndi ocheperako kuwirikiza ka 40 kuposa makulidwe a tsitsi lanu,” anatero Holler. “Ngati mutatenga tsitsi lanu ndikulidula m'zidutswa 40, mungapeze china chake chofanana ndi tinthu timeneti.”

“Tili ndi masensa padenga [la masukulu omwe akukhudzidwa] komanso m'kalasi imodzi,” anatero Holler. “Ndipo deta ikutsatirana kwambiri ngati kuti palibe kusefa mu dongosolo la HVAC.”

"Kupeza deta ndikofunikira kwambiri pa ntchito zathu zofalitsa uthenga," anatero Holler. "Deta iyi ikhoza kutsitsidwa kuti iwunikidwe ndi aphunzitsi ndi ophunzira kuti athe kuganizira zomwe zimayambitsa ndi kulumikizana ndi zomwe akuwona komanso deta ya nyengo yakomweko."

“Takhala ndi ma webinar pomwe ophunzira ochokera ku Jonas Bronck ankapereka ma posters okamba za kuipitsidwa kwa chilengedwe m'madera awo komanso momwe mphumu yawo imamvera,” anatero Holler. “Akumvetsa. Ndipo, ndikuganiza kuti akazindikira kusiyana kwa kuipitsidwa kwa chilengedwe komanso komwe zotsatira zake zimakhala zoyipa kwambiri, zimawakhudza kwambiri.”

Kwa anthu ena okhala ku New York, nkhani ya mpweya wabwino ndi yosintha miyoyo yawo.

"Panali wophunzira m'modzi ku All Hallows [Sekondale] yemwe anayamba kuchita kafukufuku wake wonse wokhudza mpweya wabwino," anatero Holler. "Iye mwini anali ndi mphumu ndipo nkhani zokhudza chilungamo cha chilengedwe zinali chimodzi mwa zomwe zinamulimbikitsa kuti apite kusukulu ya [zachipatala]."

"Chomwe tikuyembekeza kuti tipeze ndi kupatsa anthu ammudzi deta yeniyeni kuti athe kugwiritsa ntchito andale kuti asinthe zinthu," adatero Holler.

Pulojekitiyi ilibe mapeto enieni, ndipo ingatenge njira zambiri zokulirakulira. Mankhwala osinthika achilengedwe ndi mankhwala ena amakhudzanso ubwino wa mpweya ndipo pakadali pano sakuyezedwa ndi masensa a mpweya. Deta ingagwiritsidwenso ntchito kupeza mgwirizano pakati pa ubwino wa mpweya ndi deta ya khalidwe kapena zigoli za mayeso m'masukulu mumzinda wonse.
