关于雾霾英语演讲稿 篇1 Shanghai residents breathed the most polluted air they had seen in two months on Wednesday as weak cold air from the north brought pollutants to the Yangtze River Delta. But clean air is expected on Thursday thanks to another round of cold air, forecasters said. Seasonal factors played an important role as winter is the high pollution season, and straw burning in nearby provinces also contributed to the pollution, experts said. Shanghais air quality index, a new air quality reporting system that monitors sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, PM10 and PM2.5, reached 254 by 7 pm on Wednesday. The figure, which indicated the air had reached the level of heavy pollution, was the highest seen since the index was introduced two months ago, 第 1 页 共 8 页 according to the Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center. Shanghais hourly density of PM2.5, air particles smaller than 2.5 microns, also reached 250 micrograms per cubic meter by 10 am, while the reading was only 60 micrograms per cubic meter early Tuesday morning. The heavy pollution in the eastern metropolis followed thick air pollution in Beijing over the weekend. Beijings density of PM2.5 broke the record since the municipality began publishing the data in early 20XX as its figure went higher than 900 micrograms per cubic meter in several districts of the city on Saturday. Lin Chenyan, a forecaster with Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center, said the cold front brought in airborne pollutants from the north. The cold snap is like a broom sweeping down all the way to Shanghai, and it brings the dust here, said Lin, adding that atmospheric motion sometimes causes trouble such as that. 第 2 页 共 8 页 Before arriving in Shanghai, the pollutants had left some of Shanghais neighboring provinces shrouded in smog and fog. Fifty out of the 72 monitoring stations in Jiangsu province reported medium to heavy pollution on Monday evening, according to Zhang Xiangzhi, deputy director of the Jiangsu Environmental Monitoring Center. Yang Xin, a professor with Fudan Universitys department of environmental science and engineering who specializes in atmospheric particulates, said seasonal influences explain the record-breaking data in both Beijing and Shanghai. Take Shanghai as an exle. It just celebrated its cleanest summer in 20XX - sea breeze from the southeast is helpful in diluting pollutants in the air. However, the monsoons ing from the northwest in the winter usually bring dirty air from the north, Yang said. Agricultural straw burning in nearby areas also contributed to part of Shanghais PM2.5 reading, according to Wang Lin, a researcher at Fudan 第 3 页 共 8 页 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/a59d960d68d97f192279168884868762caaebbfa.html
