特斯拉弗里蒙特汽车厂旁的利拉·布林赫斯特小学家长要求延长时间，以便对一项可能增加工厂排放的计划提出质疑，马修·布朗为 SFGate 报道。
Parents at an elementary school next to Tesla’s Fremont car plant want more time to question a plan that could raise emissions from the factory, Matthew Brown reported for SFGate.
利拉·布林赫斯特小学距离该厂不到1000英尺。根据湾区空气质量管理局的通知，特斯拉申请修改两座铝熔炉的排放限值，并新增设备以减少氮氧化物排放。“它有点令人困惑。”
Lila Bringhurst Elementary sits less than 1,000 feet from the plant. Tesla has applied to change emission limits on two aluminium melting furnaces and add new equipment to cut nitrogen oxides, according to a notice from the Bay Area Air District. “It was sort of obfuscating”
该通知于9月3日通过单一学校应用程序消息传达给家长。内容称排放限值将被修改，但未说明可能上升，家长们表示。“它有点令人困惑，”家长珍妮·林对 SFGate 说。
The notice reached parents in a single school app message on 3 September. It said limits would be modified, but not that they could go up, parents said. “It was sort of obfuscating,” parent Jenny Lin told SFGate.
许多家长直到10月1日看到一篇匿名 Substack 文章后才注意到此事。该文引用管理局自身的工程文件，称某项排放指标可能增加十三倍。部分内容被涂黑，包括管理局计划对特斯拉设定的限值。
Many only took notice after an anonymous Substack post on 1 October. Using the district’s own engineering papers, it claimed one measure of emissions would rise thirteenfold. Parts of the review were blacked out, including limits the district would place on Tesla.
管理局告诉 SFGate，必须编辑涉及商业秘密的内容，并将检查文件是否有错误。并非所有粉尘都一样该“十三倍”数据涵盖所有悬浮颗粒，包括无害的。其中大部分是较大的粉尘，不会进入人体，加州大学戴维斯分校空气质量研究员尼古拉斯·斯帕达表示。他仍称这一增长“显著”。
The district told SFGate it must redact trade secrets, and would check the documents for errors. Not all dust is equal The thirteenfold figure covers all suspended particles, including harmless ones. Much of that is larger dust that does not enter the body, said Nicholas Spada, an air quality researcher at UC Davis. He still called the jump “significant”.
管理局称估算值仍在其限值范围内，并将要求对熔炉进行持续监测。
The district says the estimates stay within its limits, and it would require continuous monitoring on the furnaces.
一项要求延长评论期（原定周一结束）的请愿书已获超过1000签名。该厂目前正接受管理局调查，因涉嫌提交不准确的排放报告。特斯拉未回应 SFGate 的置评请求。
A petition asking it to extend the comment period, which ended on Monday, passed 1,000 signatures. The plant is already under investigation by the district over allegedly inaccurate emissions reports. Tesla did not respond to SFGate’s request for comment.
