加拿大资助了12M美元,为期10年的土著主导的关于艾伯塔省北部油沙污染影响的卫生研究。 Canada funds $12M, 10-year Indigenous-led health study on oilsands pollution impact in northern Alberta.
加拿大正在资助一项由土著社区牵头的为期10年的1 200万加元的保健研究,以调查油污污染对艾伯塔省北部阿塔巴斯卡河下游社区的潜在影响。 Canada is funding a C$12 million, 10-year health study led by Indigenous communities to investigate the potential impact of oilsands pollution on communities downstream of the Athabasca River in northern Alberta. 这项研究旨在追踪油沙开采作业的潜在污染物,并了解长期健康和环境影响。 The study aims to trace potential contaminants from oilsands operations and understand the long-term health and environmental impacts. 30多年来,土著领导人一直为这项研究申请资金,指出癌症发病率较高,对该地区水、鱼、沉积物和野生生物中的污染物感到关切。 Indigenous leaders have been requesting funding for such a study for over three decades, citing higher cancer rates and concerns about contaminants in water, fish, sediments, and wildlife in the area. 以往的研究显示,该区域的砷、汞和碳氢化合物含量不安全。 Previous studies have demonstrated unsafe levels of arsenic, mercury, and hydrocarbons in the region.
