EPA说已在河水和土壤检测中发现新的有毒化学物质
On Friday the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sent a letter to Norfolk Southern Railway Co. that cites additional chemicals released during the company’s Feb. 3 train derailment in Ohio that were not previously known to the public.
这些额外泄露的化学有害物质之前公众不知道。
They include the following chemicals:
Ethylhexyl acrylate(丙烯酸乙基己酯), an eye, skin, and respiratory irritant that's toxic to aquatic life.
Ethylene glycol monobutyl(乙二醇单丁醚), a carcinogen that can be absorbed through the skin and cause liver and kidney damage.
Butyl acrylate(丙烯酸丁酯), an extremely flammable chemical that can burn skin and eyes and cause permanent lung damage.
Isobutylene(异丁烯), a highly flammable compound that can irritate eyes, nose, and throat, and cause coma or death at high levels of exposure
The letter notes that water sampling shows these chemicals in the Ohio River, which provides drinking water for more than five million people. It also states that the chemicals have been observed running into storm drains, and cites potential for soil contamination.
包括为超过500万居民提供饮用水的俄亥俄河流也已经被这些化学有害品污染。排水渠和一些城市土壤这些也可能已被污染。
