为啥用防毒面具?因为雾霾回来了!从上周五(11月6日)起,东北的三个省份,黑龙江、吉林和辽宁都被厚厚的雾霾笼罩,PM2.5的浓度爆表。
在辽宁沈阳的某些监测点,PM2.5浓度超过1400毫克每立方米,而国家的PM2.5安全数值是75毫克每立方米。
据新华网报道,有专家分析,东北地区进入供暖期燃煤导致空气中污染物增加,秸秆焚烧也会加剧空气污染。同时近期天气处于相对静稳状态,使污染物不易发生扩散,造成空气污染加重。
雾霾严重影响了能见度,网友拍摄了一张长春的街景,在厚厚的浓雾中,只有某饺子馆的招牌清晰可见,剩下一片迷茫~而网友给该图的注释则是:天空飘来五个字……
Thick smog will persist for the next five days in major cities in northeastern China that have seenextremely high air pollution readings since Friday (Nov 6), the national environmental watchdogsaid on Monday.
Severe pollution has spread rapidly in the three northeastern provinces - Heilongjiang, Jilin andLiaoning.
The national safety level for PM2.5 is 75 micrograms per cubic meter. The reading was as high as1,400 at some monitoring sites in Shenyang. The city government upgraded its emergencyresponse level to the highest tier on Sunday afternoon.
【Key Points】
PM是particulate matter (颗粒物)的缩写,PM2.5指的是直径小于或等于2.5微米的颗粒物。
英文中,“污染”有不同说法,水和空气等自然的东西常用pollute,而其近义词contaminate则常用于科学、实验的语境中,如:contaminated samples (被污染的样本)。
