明尼苏达人正在收集松针 以追踪隐藏的PFAS污染 通过空气中的化学物质。 Minnesotans are gathering pine needles to track hidden PFAS pollution via airborne chemicals.

明尼苏达州各地的志愿者正在收集松针,作为公民科学项目的一部分,以追踪PFAS -- -- 与健康问题有关的持久性合成化学品 -- -- 是如何通过环境传播的,特别是在没有明显污染源的地区。 Volunteers across Minnesota are collecting pine needles as part of a citizen science project to track how PFAS—persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health concerns—are spreading through the environment, especially in areas without obvious pollution sources. 通过分析吸收空气中污染物的针头,研究人员旨在绘制全氟辛烷磺酰胺在生态系统中的移动图,并查明隐藏的污染路径。 By analyzing the needles, which absorb airborne contaminants, researchers aim to map the movement of PFAS through ecosystems and identify hidden contamination pathways. 这些数据有助于为今后的条例和清理工作提供信息。 The data could help inform future regulations and cleanup efforts.
