居住在布莱克浦附近一家化工厂附近的居民接受了‘永久性化学物质’的检测；上周他们收到了令人担忧的结果。去年二月，我接到了一位名叫萨姆·哈蒙德的女士的电话。
People living next to a chemicals plant near Blackpool were tested for ‘forever chemicals’; last week they received the alarming results Last February, I got a call from a woman called Sam Hammond.
我们之前就她越来越担心的问题有过几次交流，她担心她的花园可能会受到附近化工厂污染的影响。
We had been speaking on and off for a while over her growing concern that her garden could be affected by pollution from a nearby chemical plant.
那天早上，萨姆收到了一封来自当地政府的信，信中告知她她在花园里饲养的宠物鸭所下的蛋被Pfas化学物质污染了。
That morning, Sam had been hand-delivered a letter from her council informing her that her pet ducks’ eggs, reared in her garden, were contaminated with Pfas chemicals.
