或许是长年在雾都生活,很多人对雾霾已渐渐变得麻木。面对一个接一个的雾霾天,民众也不再吐槽,只是气定神闲地“等风来”,把雾霾的种种危害抛之脑后。然而,事实真相是,雾霾正对人类尤其是儿童的健康产生致命的伤害。联合国儿童基金会的新报告指出,每年有60万名五岁以下儿童因为空气污染而丧生,死于空气污染的儿童比死于疟疾和艾滋病的儿童加起来还要多,空气污染已然成为幼童的一大健康杀手。 UNICEF is calling on world leaders to reduce air pollution, saying it leads to the deaths of more children yearly than malaria and HIV/AIDS combined. 联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)呼吁各国领导人减少空气污染,该组织称每年死于空气污染的儿童比死于疟疾和艾滋病的儿童加起来还要多。 Around 600,000 children under age 5 die every year from diseases caused by or exacerbated by outdoor and indoor air pollution, especially in poor nations, UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake said in the introduction to a report titled "Clear the Air for Children." 联合国儿童基金会执行主任安东尼•雷克在一份名为《为儿童净化空气》的报告的前言中指出,每年约有60万名五岁以下儿童死于由室内外空气污染导致和加重的疾病,这种情况在贫穷国家尤为严重。 |
