Ukuqhuma kweKilauea kwiSiqithi saseHawaii kuhamba kancinci, kodwa kusaqhubeka, kwaye uninzi lwabakhenkethi lunemibuzo malunga nomgangatho womoya, okwabizwa ngokuba yiBig Island vog (volcanic smog).
Ukujongana nomba wobulunga bomoya, iSebe lezeMpilo laseHawaii (i-DOH) liza kufaka izitishi ezili-10 ezongezelelekileyo zokujonga umgangatho womoya ukulinganisa amasuntswana amahle (PM2.5) kunye nesulfure dioxide (SO2) kwisiqithi saseHawaii ukuphucula imizamo yokuqokelelwa kwedatha ye-vog iimeko ezingqonge isiqithi. Okwangoku kukho izikhululo ezintlanu ezisisigxina eHawaii Island eHilo, Mountain View, Pahala, Ocean View naseKona.
Nangona iindawo ezithile zingakhange zichongiwe, i-DOH ichonge iindawo ngokubanzi apho kufuneka khona ukubekwa kweliso, kubandakanya uMzantsi Kohala, uMntla Kona, kunye noMzantsi Kona kwicala lasentshona lesiqithi. Xa zonke izikhululo zikhona, uthungelwano lokujonga umoya lwe-DOH luya kuba nezikhululo ezingama-25 kwilizwe liphela, kubandakanya nezikhululo zeNkonzo yeSizwe ePaki eHawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Izikhululo zokujonga umgangatho womoya ezongezelelweyo ziya kubonelela ngedatha yexesha lokwenyani evela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zesiqithi ukuze abaphenduli bakaxakeka bakwazi ukucebisa abahlali kunye nabatyeleli ngezenzo ezifanelekileyo abanokuzithatha ukukhusela impilo kunye nokhuseleko.
Izikhululo zokubeka iliso kumgangatho womoya zilinganisa amasuntswana, okanye ungcoliseko kubandakanya uthuthu emoyeni, kunye neegesi ezifana nesalfure dioxide. Ukujonga ngokusondeleyo kwiKilauea East Rift Zone kukwajonga amanqanaba ehydrogen sulfide emoyeni. Idatha isetyenziselwa ikakhulu ukubonelela ngohlaziyo longcoliseko lomoya eluntwini ngexesha elifanelekileyo, kuchongwe iintsingiselo, ukuqikelela umgangatho womoya, ukulungelelanisa umgangatho womoya kwiziphumo zempilo, ukukhokela imisebenzi yolawulo olungxamisekileyo, kunye nokuxhasa izifundo zongcoliseko lomoya.
Ngokwesiqhelo, imimoya yorhwebo idlula kwiziqithi kwicala elisemantla ntshona, eligcina amandla avela kwiSiqithi Esikhulu ukuba angadluli kuwo onke amanye amatyathanga esiqithi. Nangona kunjalo, ngamanye amaxesha ukurhweba kutshintshela kwicala elisempuma-mpuma, kwaye kulapho ke inkungu ifudukela kwezinye iziqithi ezingummelwane. Le yinkxalabo yazo zonke iziqithi, ngakumbi i-Oahu, eyona ndawo idumileyo yabakhenkethi Aloha Urhulumente. Abakhenkethi banokufumana uhlaziyo kumgangatho womoya eHawaii e lewebhu.
IGunya lezoKhenketho laseHawaii liyaqhubeka nokuthumela amabali eendaba kunye nolwazi njengoko luhlaziywa kulo Iphepha elikhethekileyo lokuLumkisa ukufumana ulwazi lwamva nje malunga neemeko zentaba-mlilo kwesi siqithi.
