New Year's Fireworks Blamed for Sharp Rise in Pollution
污染激增,新年煙花成為眾矢之的
Several cities in Germany reported air pollution spikes immediately following their New Year's Eve firework celebrations. According to a national estimate in Germany, the fireworks contributed 4,000 tonnes of toxins (smoke and soot) into the atmosphere. In Munich, levels rose 26 times higher than the safe level recommended by the European Union. Environmentalists say that more restrictions of fireworks are required worldwide, especially during special events such as New Year's Eve, Guy Fawkes Night, and Diwali. The toxins from fireworks pollute waterways and contribute to hazardous smog in the atmosphere.

德國多個城市均有報道,空氣污染在除夕之夜燃放煙花后大大加重。德國預(yù)測數(shù)據(jù)表明,煙花往大氣中釋放了4000噸有毒物質(zhì)(煙灰)。慕尼黑的空氣污染指數(shù)比歐盟建議的安全指數(shù)高出26倍。環(huán)保主義者認為世界各地應(yīng)嚴格限制煙花燃放,尤其是在除夕、煙火節(jié)、排燈節(jié)這樣的重大節(jié)日期間。煙花中的毒素會污染水源,并使空氣中含有有害氣體。
