Day11- Mixture of Safe Chemicals
打卡日记
Day11—— Mixture of Safe Chemicals May Cause Cancer
Every day, people come into contact with thousands of chemicals. These chemicals are said to be harmless to human health. In fact, the chemicals are considered so safe that we wash with them. We put them on our bodies and even our faces. Other chemical products are used throughout our homes.
【每天,人们接触到成千上万的化学物质。这些化学物质据说对人体健康无害。事实上,这些化学物质被认为是安全的,我们可以用它们来清洗。我们把它们放在我们的身体上,甚至是我们的脸。其他化学产品在我们的家庭中使用。】
By the time, you walk out your front door you have already been exposed to thousands of chemicals.
【当你走出家门的时候,你已经接触到了成千上万的化学物质。】
On its own, each chemical seems harmless. But in combination with other chemicals, they may become deadly. That is the finding of a two-year study by a high-profile task force of scientists. The task force was told to investigate the cancer-causing possibility of chemical mixtures.
【就其本身而言,每种化学物质似乎都无害。但与其他化学物质结合,它们可能会致命。这是一项由科学家组成的高级别研究小组进行的为期两年的研究的结果。该工作小组被告知要调查化学混合物中致癌的可能性。】
Linda Gulliver was one of 174 scientists on the task force. Their job was to study the cancer-causing potential of 85 chemicals. All 85 are said to be common in the environment.
【Linda Gulliver是这个特别工作组的174名科学家之一。他们的工作是研究85种化学物质的致癌潜力。据说所有85种都在环境中很常见。】
Mr. Gulliver explains that chemicals have the potential, or ability, to form dangerous mixtures. Even simple mineral can become dangerous when mixed with chemicals found in plastics or beauty products.
【Gulliver先生解释说,化学物质有可能或有能力形成危险的混合物。即使是简单的矿物,也会在与塑料或美容产品中发现的化学物质混合时变得危险。】
