据新南威尔士环境保护局称,2024年底和2025年初关闭悉尼海滩的神秘焦油球可能来自该市的污水网络。 Mysterious tar balls that closed Sydney beaches in late 2024 and early 2025 likely came from the city's sewage network, according to the NSW Environment Protection Authority. 黑色和灰色球,大多是大理石大小的,与悉尼水厂废水处理厂的样品相匹配。 The black and grey balls, mostly marbles-sized, matched samples from Sydney Water's wastewater treatment plants. 现在需要悉尼水来确定水源,防止今后发生。 Sydney Water is now required to locate the source and prevent future occurrences. 虽然这些球被认为是低危害的, 但环保局建议避免接触, The balls are considered a low health risk, but the EPA advises avoiding contact and reporting new finds to local councils.
