研究发现“永远的化学品”造成健康问题和澳大利亚淡水海龟人口下降。 Study finds "forever chemicals" causing health issues and population decline in Australian freshwater turtles.

一项研究表明,澳大利亚的“永远的化学品”(PFAS)正在造成严重的健康问题和淡水海龟的人口减少。 A study reveals that "forever chemicals" (PFAS) are causing severe health issues and population decline in freshwater turtles in Australia. 高度污染地区的海龟的 PFAS 浓度高出 30 倍，导致幼龟出现痛风和壳缺陷等情况。 Turtles in highly contaminated areas had 30 times higher PFAS concentrations, leading to conditions like gout and shell defects in hatchlings. 该研究涉及3年中的350只海龟,在受污染的场地中也发现幼龟较少,这表明这些持久性化学品可能造成人口崩溃。 The study, involving 350 turtles over three years, also found fewer juveniles in contaminated sites, indicating a potential population collapse due to these persistent chemicals.
