爱尔兰环保局报告称,2023 年“煮沸水”通知将增加 50%,引发人们对水污染的担忧。 Irish EPA reports a 50% increase in "boil water" notices in 2023, raising concerns about water contamination. 超过 561,000 人使用“有风险”的水源,其中每 20 人中就有 1 人不符合三卤甲烷 (THM) 和隐孢子虫标准。 Over 561,000 people use "at-risk" water supplies, with one in 20 failing to meet trihalomethanes (THMs) and cryptosporidium standards. 气候变化导致的强降雨事件导致三卤甲烷(THM)含量上升。 Climate change-related heavy rainfall events contribute to increased THM levels. 尽管存在这些问题,爱尔兰饮用水的整体质量仍然很高,超过 99.7% 的样品都通过了严格的细菌和化学限量。 Despite these concerns, the overall quality of Ireland's drinking water remains high, with over 99.7% of samples passing strict bacterial and chemical limits.
