记录显示,位于新泽西州的Vineland设施在监管机构介入前排放了危害健康的污染物。

与微软有关联的数据中心DataOne因运行未经许可的发电机被罚款100万美元。

根据Floodlight获得的公共记录,该设施在近一年内排放了大量危害健康的空气污染物。

Records show Vineland facility in New Jersey emitted health-harming pollution before regulators stepped in DataOne, the Microsoft-linked New Jersey datacenter recently hit with a $1m fine for running unpermitted generators, emitted large amounts of health-harming air pollution for nearly a year before state regulators stepped in, according to public records obtained by Floodlight.

今年8月,Floodlight与《卫报》的一项视觉调查揭露了该设施拥有的62台燃气发电机在无许可证的情况下运行。

The Vineland facility’s 62 gas-fired generators became public in August after a Floodlight/Guardian visual investigation found them operating without permits.

新泽西州环境保护部上周对该公司处以罚款,但未披露这些发电机运行了多久,以及过去一年向周边社区排放了多少空气污染物。

The New Jersey department of environmental protection last week fined the company over the fleet but did not disclose how long the generators had been operating nor how much air pollution they had released into the surrounding community over the past year.
