由于干旱和气候变化,大盐湖正在缩小,对健康造成风险和经济影响。 The Great Salt Lake is shrinking due to drought and climate change, posing health risks and economic impacts.

根据一项研究,大盐湖是西半球最大的盐水湖,由于干旱、气候变化和水分转移,该湖正在缩小。 The Great Salt Lake, the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, is shrinking due to drought, climate change, and water diversions, according to a study. 湖水量急剧下降,影响到当地工业,由于暴露的湖床有毒尘埃,对居民的健康造成危害。 The lake's volume has dramatically decreased, affecting local industries and posing health risks to residents due to toxic dust from exposed lakebeds. 湖泊支流流减少以及气温升高导致蒸发增加是造成这一下降的主要因素。 Reduced stream flows from the lake's tributaries and increased evaporation due to warmer temperatures are major contributors to this decline.
