Levels of a toxic “forever chemical” rose to 13 times the legal limit during Thames Water pilots for a controversial multimillion pound water recycling scheme that will pump millions of litres of treated sewage into the River Thames during drought.(在泰晤士水务试点期间,有毒“永久化学品”含量升至法定限值的13倍,该试点针对一项有争议的、耗资数百万英镑的水循环计划,该计划将在干旱期间将数百万升处理过的污水泵入泰晤士河。)
在泰晤士水务公司一项耗资数百万英镑、备受争议的水循环计划的试点期间,一种有毒的“永久化学品”含量升至法定限值的13倍。该计划拟在干旱期间将数百万升处理过的污水泵入泰晤士河。
The data from the pilots is in stark contrast to(与…形成鲜明对比) public comments from Thames Water that their water recycling project in south-west London will not harm the riverine(河流的) environment.
试点数据与泰晤士水务的公开表态形成鲜明对比——该公司称其在伦敦西南部的水循环项目不会损害河流环境。
In technical notes in the company’s files for the project, seen by the Guardian, the results from two pilots reveal the recycling system rapidly and significantly increased levels of a particularly toxic type of Pfas chemical perfluorooctane sulfonate (Pfos), a suspected carcinogen – breaching the legal limits by as much as 13 times.(在《卫报》看到的公司项目技术说明中,两次试点结果显示回收系统迅速显著增加了特别有毒的Pfas化学物质PFOS的水平,该物质是疑似致癌物,超标达13倍。)
在《卫报》看到的该公司项目文件的技术说明中,两次试点的结果显示,回收系统迅速且显著地增加了某种毒性极强的Pfas化学物质——全氟辛烷磺酸(Pfos)的水平,这是一种疑似致癌物,超标幅度高达13倍。
