South Africa has one of the worst tuberculosis burdens in the world. Several ecological forces have contributed to this, including high HIV prevalence; failing TB control strategies; crowded, poorly ventilated indoor environments-including the complex web of political and economic interests which produce them; the development of racial capitalism; and mining and migration. In the following study, we measure CO2 levels in public transport to investigate the role extended commutes from peri-urban settlements to urban sites of work-a direct result of forced removals-potentially play in propagating the TB epidemic in Cape Town, South Africa.
南非是全球结核病负担最严重的国家之一。多种生态因素导致了这种情况，包括艾滋病毒的高流行率；结核病控制策略失效；拥挤、通风不良的室内环境——包括产生这些环境的复杂政治和经济利益网络；种族资本主义的发展；以及采矿和移民。在以下研究中，我们测量了公共交通中的二氧化碳水平，以调查从城郊定居点到城市工作地点的长途通勤——这是强制搬迁的直接结果——在南非开普敦结核病流行传播中可能发挥的作用。
