独家:呼吁全球遏制温室气体的COP31领导国,其垃圾填埋场却排放着全球最严重的烟羽。每周两三个夜晚,弥漫的恶臭降临。伊斯坦布尔农村郊区的村民不知道那是什么气味,但多年来深受其扰:气味太难闻,即使在炎热的夏夜也必须关窗睡觉。他们也知道源头:几英里外巨大的锡利夫里市政垃圾场,随着食物和其他有机废物腐烂,正喷吐出恶臭气体。
Exclusive: Cop31 leader calling for global curbs on climate-heating gas has landfills producing some of world’s worst plumes Two or three nights each week, the smell descends. Residents of villages on the rural outskirts of Istanbul don’t know what the smell is, but they have been plagued by it for years: a smell so bad they have to sleep with their windows closed even during hot summer nights. They know the source, too: the huge Silivri municipal waste dump a few miles away that is belching out stinking gases as food and other organic waste rots.
“气味不轻微,它让人窒息,”凯马莱丁·厄岑在约尔查特村外的一家茶馆里说道。“空气不流动时更糟:有时家庭在户外逗留到午夜。即使进屋也无法逃避。”
“The smell is not subtle. It suffocates you,” said Kemalettin Özenç, sitting outside a tea shop in the village of Yolçatı. “It’s worse when the air is still: sometimes families linger until midnight out here. Even when you go inside it’s inescapable.”
