澳大利亚北领地议会已通过一项“安全空气”法案，建立一套监测并公开报告达尔文港周边有毒空气污染物的机制。该法律的出台，系因能源公司Inpex和Santos先后爆发独立的污染丑闻，两家公司均在该港口区域运营大型天然气设施。
Australia's Northern Territory parliament has passed a 'safe air' bill creating a scheme to monitor and publicly report toxic air pollutants around Darwin Harbour. The law follows separate pollution scandals involving energy companies Inpex and Santos, both of which operate major gas facilities in the harbour precinct.
北领地议会通过立法，设立一项机制，监测并公开披露达尔文港周边的有毒空气污染物，该港口是澳大利亚最繁忙的工业和天然气出口港区之一。监管机构现在将被要求公布污染读数，而不再将其内部保留。
The Northern Territory parliament has passed legislation setting up a scheme to monitor and publicly disclose toxic air pollutants around Darwin Harbour, one of Australia's busiest industrial and gas-export precincts. Regulators will now be required to publish pollution readings rather than hold them internally.
该法案系因在港口运营天然气设施的两家能源公司爆发的两起独立丑闻而提出：Ichthys液化天然气项目的运营商Inpex，以及在附近运营天然气处理基础设施的Santos。在居民和环保团体提出污染担忧后，两家公司均面临审查。
The bill follows two separate scandals involving energy companies operating gas facilities in the harbour: Inpex, the operator of the Ichthys LNG project, and Santos, which runs gas processing infrastructure nearby. Both companies faced scrutiny after pollution concerns were raised by residents and environmental groups.
支持者表示，新的报告制度首次让达尔文居民能够独立了解空气质量，而不必依赖公司提供的数据。随着港口周边监测基础设施的安装，该机制预计将在未来几个月内生效。
Supporters say the new reporting regime gives Darwin residents independent visibility into air quality for the first time, rather than relying on company-supplied data. The scheme is expected to take effect in the coming months as monitoring infrastructure is installed around the harbour.
