全球的焦点已经转移到抗击病毒上了,但其实现在正是亚马逊河流域的火灾季节,这个地球上最大的雨林即将面临一个破记录的大火灾,并且会导致一个月后巴西部分地区的天空将浓烟密布,当地人在烟雾弥漫的空气中更容易生病。
据亚马逊环境研究所(Ipam)周一的报告称,从7月该地区旱季的大火开始,已经做好了多达4500平方公里(1740平方英里)的土地会被火灾烧毁并夷为平地准备。与去年不同的是,去年一颗300年前的树木燃烧的画面都能激起了国际社会的愤怒,但现在几乎全世界的注意力都集中在对抗Covid-19,并不会对大火做过多理会。
费城德雷塞尔大学多恩西夫公共卫生学院(Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health)院长兼杰出流行病学教授鲁克斯(Ana Diez Roux)说:“火灾之后的空气污染水平很有可能影响病毒扩散”。
Global focus has shifted to fighting virus. It’s fire season in the Amazon, and the planet’s largest rain forest is heading for another record burn, and a month from now, the skies over parts of Brazil will fill with smoke, which in turn makes the locals more vulnerable to getting sick as smoke fills the air. As many as 4,500 square kilometers (1,740 square miles) have already been leveled and prepped for burns starting July, when the region’s dry season starts and blazes begin, according to Monday’s report from the Amazon Environmental Research Institute, known as Ipam. Unlike last year, when images of 300-year-old trees ablaze fueled international outrage, little stands in the way now. The world’s focus is squarely on combating Covid-19 and its fallout. Brazilian teams of officers charged with patrolling the biome have been sickened or sidelined. “It’s very possible that air pollution levels could magnify the impact” of the virus, said Ana Diez Roux, dean and distinguished professor of epidemiology at the Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health in Philadelphia. source
