Uburyo ihumana ry’umwuka ryangiza ubuzima bw’abantu

Raporo yitwa Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) ikorwa n’Ikigo Energy Policy Institute cya Kaminuza ya Chicago (EPIC), igaragaza uburyo imyuka ihumanya ikirere, cyane cyane iyitwa PM2.5, igabanya igihe abantu babaho ku isi, cyane cyane abana bato, abantu bashaje, abafite uburwayi bw’ibihaha cyangwa umutima, ndetse n’abagore batwite.

Mu ndwara zikomoka kuri iyi myuka ku isonga haza iz’ubuhumekero, kuko ngo iteza ububabare mu bihaha no mu muhogo, asima (asthma) n’ibibazo bihoraho byo guhumeka, bronchitis na emphysema zituma ibihaha bitongera gukora neza.

Imyotsi y’ibinyabiziga inateza kandi indwara z’umutima n’imitsi, aho kuyihumeka ngo bishobora gutuma umuvuduko w’amaraso wiyongera kubera izo ndwara zifata mu miyoboro yayo.

Iyi myotsi y’ibikomoka kuri peterori nka benzene (itwara indege), ishobora kandi gutera kanseri, cyane cyane iy’ibihaha, ikanateza ibibazo ku bagore batwite kuko ngo bashobora kubyara imburagihe cyangwa abana bakavuka bapfuye, nk’uko Raporo ya Air Quality Life Index ya 2024 ikomeza ibigaragaza.
