艾伯塔省的研究发现,煤矿污染水域,损害鱼类,因为新的采矿勘探已获批准。 Alberta study finds coal mines polluting waters, harming fish, as new mining explorations are approved.

艾伯塔省政府科学家的一项新研究表明,艾伯塔州落基山脉东部斜坡上的煤矿正在泄漏毒害下游鱼类的化学品,有可能导致鱼类种群崩溃。 A new study by Alberta government scientists indicates that coal mines on the eastern slopes of the Alberta Rockies are leaking chemicals that poison fish downstream, potentially leading to fish population collapse. 在克罗斯内斯特湖的鱼类中发现了高含量的硒（一种来自煤的矿物质），这促使政府建议限制某些鱼类的消费。 High levels of selenium, a mineral from coal, were found in fish from Crowsnest Lake, prompting a government advisory to limit consumption of certain fish species. 尽管存在环境关切,一家设在澳大利亚的煤炭公司获准探索该地区的新发展。 Despite environmental concerns, an Australia-based coal company was granted permission to explore new developments in the area.
