Seqwater指出, 布里斯班(Brisbane)和伊普西奇(Ipsich)的自来水因MIB增加而具有土味。 Tap water in Brisbane and Ipsich has an earthy taste due to increased MIB, Seqwater says.

澳大利亚布里斯班和伊普斯维奇的居民说,他们的自来水味道像土,像污垢,气味也很不好. Residents in Brisbane and Ipswich, Australia, report that their tap water has an earthy, dirt-like taste and stagnant smell. 当地供水商Seqwater将这些变化归因于最近的热雨天气,天气使水中的有机化合物增加,称为2-甲基乙酰乙酰胺(MIB)。 Seqwater, the local water supplier, attributes these changes to recent hot and rainy weather, which increased an organic compound called 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) in the water. 尽管情况有所改变,但保证水能安全饮用。 Despite the changes, the water is assured to be safe to drink.
