美國馬里蘭州護理協會15日發表一份新研究指出，全國醫療事件中，每年約有700件新生兒猝死、3萬件氣喘發作，以及400件小兒科急診病例，與馬里蘭州六座發電廠造成的污染脫不了關係。社區衛生專家阿法沙（Brenda Afazal）表示：「電廠是影響馬里蘭州公眾健康最嚴重的污染源。這份報告所呈現的不過是本州每位醫護人員盡知的事實罷了」。
Maryland Power Plants Linked to 700 Premature Deaths Per Year
Nationwide, 700 premature death, 30,000 asthma attacks and 400 pediatric emergency room visits each year are linked to current pollution from six Maryland power plants, according to a new study released today by the Maryland Nurses Association. Community Health Scientist Brenda Afzal said, "Power plant pollution is a major public health problem in Maryland. This study simply documents what every nurse in the state already knows is true."相關文章
