罗托鲁瓦如何将空气污染造成的过早死亡人数减少一半

Share:

根据罗托鲁瓦湖区议员的说法,罗托鲁瓦因空气质量差而过早死亡的成年人人数在13年内减少了一半,节省了超过1亿美元的社会成本。

尽管取得了这一进展,但官员们警告说,测量空气污染的新方法可能会影响罗托鲁阿,这座城市已经在努力改善其空气质量。议员莱尔·瑟斯顿强调说,罗托鲁瓦的空气质量是北岛最差的,这主要是由于木材燃烧器。已采取行动鼓励使用更清洁的加热方法,拆除一些燃烧器,并使用技术来识别不遵守规定的燃烧器。

Toi Te Ora公共卫生部的格雷戈里·埃文斯博士说,空气污染会影响所有人,但有些人面临的风险更大。短期接触会使哮喘等疾病恶化,而长期接触则可能导致心血管疾病。2022年的一项研究表明,2016年人为造成的空气污染导致新西兰3300名成人早期死亡。在罗托鲁瓦,这些死亡人数从2009年的40人减少到2022年的19人。

地区委员会的马里恩·亨顿(Marion Henton)解释了从2008年的自愿方法向现在更严格的方法的转变,重点是高污染源。今年,首次对那些使用不符合规定的燃烧器的人处以罚款。

但是,亨顿强调了潜在的挑战。正在审查国家空气质量标准。拟议的变更可能会将重点从PM10转移到PM2.5颗粒上。鉴于木烟主要是PM2.5,这种变化将极大地影响像罗托鲁瓦这样的城市。

她还提到了该委员会为帮助房主改用合规燃烧器所做的努力,许多人免费更换了燃烧器。该委员会计划在新标准最终确定后调整其目标。
