超过61 000个正在老化的欧洲垃圾填埋场、许多未铺设的和在洪泛平原中的垃圾填埋场,都有有毒化学品污染供水的风险。 Over 61,000 aging European landfills, many unlined and in floodplains, risk polluting water supplies with toxic chemicals.

欧洲各地数千个老化的垃圾填埋场位于洪泛平原和饮用水区,其中许多缺乏现代封闭设施,有可能有毒物质渗入生态系统和供水。 Thousands of aging landfills across Europe, many lacking modern containment, are located in floodplains and drinking water zones, risking toxic leaks into ecosystems and water supplies. 一份新地图确定了61 000多个地点,其中28%位于洪水易发地区,近90%未铺设,引起了对全氟辛烷磺酰胺、汞和其他污染物的关切。 A new map identifies over 61,000 sites, with 28% in flood-prone areas and nearly 90% unlined, raising concerns over PFAS, mercury, and other pollutants. 尽管欧盟规则禁止无线填埋,但气候变化和数据不足妨碍了风险评估。 Climate change and inadequate data hinder risk assessment, despite EU rules banning unlined landfills. 专家警告污染威胁日益增加,敦促改善监测和管理,以保护公共卫生和环境。 Experts warn of growing contamination threats, urging better monitoring and management to protect public health and the environment.
