一艘来自英格兰海岸的舰船碰撞 泄漏了核素 小型塑料颗粒 进入北海 引发了清理工作 A ship collision off England's coast leaked nurdles, small plastic pellets, into the North Sea, sparking cleanup efforts.

在一艘货轮和一艘油轮在英格兰海岸发生碰撞后,在北海发现了被称为“核素”的塑料颗粒。 Plastic pellets, known as "nurdles," were found in the North Sea after a collision between a cargo ship and a tanker off England's coast. 这些小的、无毒性的塑料颗粒如果被摄取,可能会对野生动物造成危害。 These small, non-toxic plastic pellets can harm wildlife if ingested. 英国海岸警卫队报告说，水中有一道“光泽”，被确定为 nurdles，回收工作已经开始。 The British coastguard reported a "sheen" in the water, identified as nurdles, and retrieval efforts have started. 碰撞造成大火,耗时数日才能扑灭,损失了约17 515桶喷气式燃料。 The collision resulted in fires that took days to extinguish, with about 17,515 barrels of jet fuel lost. 财政影响可能从1亿到3亿美元不等。 The financial impact could range from $100 million to $300 million.
