Oily slicks(油污;浮油) of kerosene still appeared to be leaking into the River Taff this week, several days after a breach(泄漏;缺口) of thousands of litres was spotted by members of the public(公众;普通民众).
本周,距离公众发现数千升煤油泄漏已过去数日,塔夫河面上似乎仍有油污在渗入。
The breach into the Welsh river was identified last Friday, after people reported strong chemical odours(气味) emanating(散发;发出) from it. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) officers arrived on site soon afterwards to identify the source of the pollution and were assisted by the south Wales fire and rescue service, which placed absorbent mats and booms to contain as much kerosene as possible.(天然资源威尔士的官员随后抵达现场确定污染源,并得到南威尔士消防救援部门的协助,后者铺设吸油垫和围油栏以尽可能围堵煤油。)
上周五,在有人报告河中散发强烈化学气味后,这起流入威尔士河流的泄漏事件被确认。天然资源威尔士(NRW)的官员随后不久抵达现场,以确定污染源,并得到南威尔士消防救援部门的协助,后者铺设了吸油垫和围油栏,尽可能多地围堵煤油。
Residents along the Taff were advised to keep windows and doors closed last week, after it emerged that thousands of litres of kerosene from a GE Aerospace site in Nantgarw, Rhondda Cynon Taf had entered the river.(上周,在得知南特加鲁通用电气航空航天厂区的数千升煤油已流入河中后,塔夫河沿岸居民被建议紧闭门窗。) Four kilometres (2.5 miles) of waterway were affected, according to NRW.
