時差N小時:如何逃離污染魔掌

Yes,eating organic foods is a great way to reducethe amount of pollutants in your body,

選擇有機食物大大減少了污染物進入體內(nèi)，

but you can't entirely escapepollution, no matterwhere you live.

但是無論你身在何處都無法一點不受污染的侵害。

Persistent organic pollutants, or POPs, areeverywhere-in ourfood, soil, air, and water.

持久性污染物無處無在—我們的食物、土壤、空氣、水。

They can travel far distances, so thateven if you live in an area relatively free of the use ofpesticidesor industrial processes, pollutants will find their way to you.

持久性污染物“跋山涉水”也會靠近你，即使你生存的地方?jīng)]有使用殺蟲劑或工業(yè)生產(chǎn)。

In many instances, the levels of POPs found far from a source of pollution are significantlylowerthan the levels near the source.

遠離污染源的污染程度明顯比污染源低很多。

However, for some POPs, even low levels can be dangerousbecause they resist break down.

但是，即使是相對低的污染濃度也可能是安全隱患，因為污染物無法分解，

When they get into your body, they stick around, accumulatingin fatty tissues.

當進入體內(nèi)，滯留體內(nèi)，堆積在脂肪組織。

There is a global movement, involving over 150 countries, to eliminate some of themostdangerous of these POPs, which include pesticides,

全球超過150個國家發(fā)起運動，堅決杜絕使用一些危害甚大的持久性污染物：包括殺蟲劑、

industrial chemicals, and their byproducts.Some of them have already been banned in the U.S.

工業(yè)化學劑及相關(guān)副產(chǎn)品。美國禁止使用其中的一些。
