Ucwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwe yiNyuvesi yaseChicago lwembula umthelela oshaqisayo wokungcoliswa komoya ezimpilweni zamaNdiya. Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi amaNdiya alahlekelwa isilinganiso seminyaka engu-5 yokuphila ngenxa yekhwalithi yomoya eyingozi. Ngokushaqisayo, isimo sasibi nakakhulu eDelhi, lapho iminyaka yokuphila yehla ngeminyaka eyi-12 emangalisayo. Unalezi zibalo ezibuhlungu engqondweni, kufanelekile ukuxoxa ngesidingo esikhulu salokhoabahlanza umoyaeNdiya.
I-India, eyaziwa ngamasiko ayo anothile kanye nezindawo ezinhle, nayo ibhekene nenkinga enkulu yokungcoliswa komoya. Ukukhula kwamadolobha, ukusungulwa kwezimboni okungalawuleki, ukukhishwa kwegesi yezimoto, nokulawulwa kwemfucuza ngendlela engafanele kube nomthelela ekuwohlokeni kwezinga lomoya ezweni lonke. Ngenxa yalokho, impilo nenhlalakahle yezigidi zamaNdiya iye yathinteka kakhulu.
Ukubaluleka kweIzihlungi ze-HEPA: Izihlungi ze-HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) ziyingxenye ebalulekile yezihlanzi zomoya. Lezi zihlungi ziyakwazi ukuthwebula nokukhipha izinto ezingcolisa umoya zasendlini njengefine particulate matter (PM2.5), impova, izibungu zothuli, amagciwane kanye namagciwane. Uma kubhekwa ukuthi sichitha ingxenye enkulu yesikhathi sethu sisendlini, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zasemadolobheni ezinamazinga aphezulu okungcola komoya wangaphandle, ukutshala imali kumshini wokuhlanza umoya onesihlungi se-HEPA sekubalulekile.
Imiphumela emibi yezempilo yokuchayeka isikhathi eside emoyeni ongcolile miningi futhi ibucayi. Izinhlayiya ezincane ezisemoyeni ongcolile zingangena kalula ohlelweni lwethu lokuphefumula, zibangele i-bronchitis engapheli, isifuba somoya, ngisho nomdlavuza wamaphaphu nezinye izifo zokuphefumula. Ukwengeza, ukungcoliswa komoya kungaholela ezinkingeni zenhliziyo, ukungezwani komzimba nezinye izifo zokuphefumula. Ngokufakaizihlanzi zomoya ezinezihlungi ze-HEPAemakhaya, ezikoleni, emahhovisi nasezindaweni zomphakathi, singanciphisa kakhulu ingozi yokuchayeka isikhathi eside emoyeni ongcolile.
Ukuqonda ubukhulu benkinga yokungcoliswa komoya, uHulumeni waseNdiya, ngokubambisana nezinhlaka ezahlukene, uthatha izinyathelo zokubhekana nalolu daba. Olunye lolu hlelo wukwakhiwa kombhoshongo womoya eDelhi, okuhloswe ngawo ukunciphisa amazinga okungcoliswa komoya. Njengoba ifakwe ubuchwepheshe obuphambili bokuhlanza umoya, umbhoshongo kulindeleke ukuthi usebenze njengezihlangu, ukuhlunga ukungcola futhi uthuthukise izinga lomoya endaweni ezungezile. Nakuba lesi kuyisinyathelo esihle endleleni efanele, imizamo yabantu abathile ngokusebenzisa izihlungi zomoya ezinezihlungi ze-HEPA ayinakushaywa indiva.
Sengiphetha, impi yaseNdiya yokulwa nokungcoliswa komoya idinga isinyathelo esiphuthumayo esihlangene. Nakuba izinyathelo ezinkulu ezifana nemibhoshongo yasemoyeni zibalulekile, wonke umuntu angaba negalelo ekuphenduleni le nkinga. Iyafakaizihlanzi zomoya ezinezihlungi ze-HEPAemakhaya ethu nasezindaweni zokusebenza kungasinikeza umoya ohlanzekile nonempilo wasendlini, kuvikele inhlalakahle yethu futhi kunciphise imiphumela emibi yokungcola. Manje yisikhathi sokuba sibeke eqhulwini ukubaluleka komoya ohlanzekile ezimpilweni zethu futhi sisebenzisane ukuze sakhe ikusasa elinempilo, elisimeme ngokwethu nezizukulwane ezizayo.
