美国网友惊了:这事居然没上头条?
2月13日,美国俄亥俄州冲上热搜。
“我很惊讶这件事居然没上头条?”
“我今天早上才听说的”
“这到底是怎么回事? 我一直在问朋友并上网查询,美国主流媒体(头版)对俄亥俄州化学列车脱轨的报道几乎为零。以下是《纽约时报》和CNN今天的首页。”
“我住在美国,我对主流媒体忽视或者说几乎没有报道该事件而感到困惑……他们不停地报道特朗普和艳星,却忽视了我此生在美国遇到的最严重的环境灾难之一。”
When asked at Wednesday’s briefing about exactly what spilled, representatives from Norfolk Southern listed butyl acrylate, vinyl chloride and a small amount of non-hazardous lube oil.
Vinyl chloride, which is used to make PVC pipes, can cause dizziness, sleepiness and headaches. It has also been linked to an increased risk of cancer in the liver, brain, lungs and blood.
CNN称,马萨诸塞大学阿姆赫斯特分校环境健康科学副教授理查德·佩尔蒂埃表示,“氯乙烯有一个特殊而重要的风险,因为它含有一堆氯分子,它们会形成一些非常糟糕的燃烧副产品……这些通常毒性很大,而且通常在环境中非常持久。”
“These are often very toxic and often very persistent in the environment.”
James Justice of the US Environmental Protection Agency said around-the-clock air monitoring has shown normal, un-concerning levels. Hundreds of data points from that "show that the air quality in the town is safe," he said.
Caggiano said, adding, “There’s a lot of what ifs, and we’re going to be looking at this thing 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the line and wondering, ‘Gee, cancer clusters could pop up, you know, well water could go bad.’”
