Air pollution in New Delhi and surrounding towns has reached the worst levels so far this year, with authorities in the capital having declared a public health emergency and ordered the closure of schools.

今年以来,新德里及周边城镇的空气污染已达到最严重的水平,首都当局已宣布进入公共卫生紧急状态,并下令关闭学校。

The air quality index (AQI), measuring levels of PM 2.5 — tiny particulate matter in the air — deteriorated to above 900, way over the 500-level that qualifies as "severe-plus" on Sunday.an app that uses pollution data to explain air quality via cigarette smoking — found that the Indian capital''''s present air quality was akin to smoking 33.2 cigarettes per day.Aside from the harm it was doing to the lungs of some 40 million people living in the capital region, the smog was so bad more than 30 flights were diverted from Delhi airport due to poor visibility.

空气质量指数(AQI) ,测量pm2.5(空气中的微小颗粒物)的水平,已经恶化到900以上,远远超过了周日的500水平。一款利用污染数据通过吸烟解释空气质量的应用程序发现,印度首都目前的空气质量与每天吸烟33.2支相当。

Roads looked deserted as large numbers of people stayed home, rather than expose themselves to the noxious atmosphere outside.

除了对生活在首都地区的大约4000万人的肺部造成伤害外,雾霾非常严重,由于能见度低,超过30架航班从德里机场转飞。道路看起来空无一人,因为许多人呆在家里,而不愿暴露在外面有毒的空气中。

"Pollution has reached unbearable levels across north India," Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi''''s chief minister wrote on Twitter.

“整个印度北部的污染已经达到了难以忍受的程度,”德里首席部长阿尔文德 · 凯杰里瓦尔在推特上写道。

The government environment monitoring agency SAFAR warned that no relief was expected for the next one to two days, as humidity resulting from unexpected light rains overnight had exacerbated pollution, already driven by higher than seasonal crop stubble burning by farmers in surrounding states."Wind speed is picking up and it could take 24 to 48 hours before the pollution level reduces to a level of around 500," Mahesh Palawat, vice president of private weather forecasting agency Skymet, said.

政府环境监测机构 SAFAR 警告说,预计未来一到两天不会有任何缓解,因为昨晚突如其来的小雨造成的湿度加剧了污染,而周边各州农民焚烧作物残茬的程度已经高于季节性。
私营天气预报机构Skymet的副总裁马赫什·帕拉瓦特说: “风速正在加快,污染水平可能需要24到48小时才能降低到500左右。”

Anything above 400 on the AQI poses a risk for people with respiratory illness and can also affect even those with healthy lungs

空气质量指数在400以上的任何东西都对呼吸系统疾病患者构成风险,甚至对肺部健康的人也有影响

Doctors were reporting a spike in patients with respiratory related issues, according to Sachin Taparia, head of Local Circles, a Delhi-based private consultancy that conducts surveys on government policies and programs.

总部位于德里的私营咨询公司 Local Circles 的负责人萨钦·塔帕里亚表示,医生报告称,患有呼吸系统相关疾病的患者人数激增。该公司对政府政策和项目进行调查。

Delhi has turned into a gas chamber as the pollution levels hit the severe category," Mr Taparia said.

“随着污染水平达到严重程度,德里已经变成了一个毒气室,”塔帕里亚先生说。

A survey of 17,000 people in the Delhi region by his consultancy found that 40 per cent want to get out of the area because of the failure to control pollution.

他的咨询公司对德里地区1.7万人进行的一项调查发现,由于未能控制污染,40% 的人希望离开该地区。


Authorities in Delhi on Friday declared a public health emergency and closed schools and all construction activity.

德里当局周五宣布进入公共卫生紧急状态,并关闭了学校和所有建筑活动。

From Monday, the city government will also restrict the use of private vehicles on the capital''''s roads under an "odd-even" scheme based on license plates.

从下周一开始,市政府还将实施一项基于车牌的“单双”计划,限制在首都道路上的私家车。

"The temporary restrictions on private vehicles will have a negligible impact as we face the most hazardous situation," said Skymet''''s Mr Palawat.

“临时限制私家车只能产生微不足道的影响,因为我们面临最危险的情况 ”帕拉瓦特先生说。

Delhi''''s Mr Kejriwal, and the chief ministers from the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana, urged the federal government to do more to combat the pollution.

德里的 Kejriwal 先生,以及邻近的旁遮普邦和 Haryana 的首席部长们,敦促联邦政府采取更多措施来对抗污染。

According to a lawyer, the Supreme Court is likely to hear a petition on Monday from the environment agency, looking for ways to make state governments take tougher action against farmers to curb the stubble-burning.

根据一位律师的说法,最高法院可能会在周一听取环境保护机构的请愿书,寻找方法使州政府对农民采取更严厉的行动,以遏制焚烧麦茬。政客们一直不愿惹恼他们的农业选民。

Politicians have been reluctant to upset their farming constituencies.
According to SAFAR, satellite pictures had captured more than 3,000 incidents of stubble burning last week in neighbouring states, contributing to 44 per cent of Delhi''''s pollution.

根据 SAFAR 的数据,卫星图像显示,上周邻近邦发生了3000多起焚烧麦茬的事件,占到了新德里污染的44% 。

I was surprised to learn that >70% of the cities with the worst air pollution in the world are actually in India (as of 2018)

What if I told you Asian coastal countries contribute over 90% of the oceans waste and plastic debris each year? But no one talks about that or looks at them.

如果我告诉你亚洲沿海国家每年贡献超过90% 的海洋废弃物和塑料垃圾,你会怎样想?但是没有人谈论这些,也没有人注意它们。

You’re right. That would require people to actually care about the environment and not just pretending to in order to get easy political points.

I mean a lot of countries just ship their plastics and waste to China so I wouldn''''t be surprised.

我的意思是很多国家只是把他们的塑料和垃圾运到中国,所以我不会感到惊讶。

China stopped taking waste recently and a bunch of countries are now in a waste management crisis.

中国最近停止了垃圾处理,许多国家都陷入了垃圾管理危机。

China is actually still buying/accepting recycled material, but they increased their standards and now only purchase higher quality pre-sorted recycled material. But there aren’t currently enough recycling locations in the US that can actually meet the requirements.
The issue is that the US (and the world) kinda sucks at recycling in general and most of the “recyclables” are contaminated with other refuse and are unusable.
We’re in a waste-management crisis in North America and there’s no clear answer. Education on proper recycling is one step, but municipalities have such different recycling capabilities that there’s no country- or state-wide programs that could be developed.
IMO the best path forward is to put more emphasis on the manufacturers of products to have clear recycling guidelines for their materials, and to develop products that are easier to recycle. But that only works if the public is willing to pay for that development since using recycled material takes a lot of extra engineering work.
It’s a complicated issue overall, basically.

中国实际上仍在购买或接收回收材料,但他们提高了标准,现在只购买质量更高的预分类回收材料。但是目前在美国没有足够的回收地点能够真正满足要求。
问题是,美国(和全世界)在回收利用方面很糟糕,而且大多数“可回收物”都被其他垃圾污染了,无法使用。
我们正处在北美的废物管理危机中,而且没有明确的答案。关于正确回收利用的教育是一个步骤,但是市政当局的回收利用能力有很大不同,以至于没有一个国家或州的项目可以发展。
IMO提出的最佳途径是更加强调产品制造商对其材料有明确的回收准则,并开发更易于回收的产品。 但是,这只有在公众愿意为开发项目付费的情况下才能奏效,因为使用再生材料需要大量额外的工程工作。
总的来说,这是一个复杂的问题。

Not to mention that millions of metric tons of ''''recycled'''' plastic waste from the US are just exported to other countries to be thrown out/ burned. SOURCE

更不用说从美国回收的数百万吨塑料垃圾,只是出口到其他国家扔掉或焚烧。

No one talks about it much because the US is still the worst polluter on a per capita basis.

没有多少人谈论这个问题,因为按人均计算,美国仍是污染最严重的国家。

What if I told you that the western countries send their waste to dumped into to Asian countries, which in turn dump it in ocean or burn it. Waste management is not solved for the world if you ship out yours to others.

如果我告诉你,西方国家把他们的垃圾运到亚洲国家,然后这些国家又把它们倒进海里或者烧掉。 如果你把自己的垃圾运给别人处理,世界上的垃圾管理问题就不会得到解决。

They''''ve set fields on fire for centuries and it was never a problem. Now that the law says they can''''t start their grow season until 2 months later, (and therefor can''''t harvest until 2 months later, after wind direction changes), it''''s a problem.

几个世纪以来,他们一直在放火焚烧麦茬,这一直很常见。 现在法律规定他们在两个月后他们才能开始种植(因此,直到两个月后,风向改变后才能收获) ,这就成了问题。

While China is also bad on the PM2.5, the current situation in New Delhi and surrounding area is just otherworldly, with levels four times as high as even the worst indicators from China.

Given the size of New Delhi population, I wonder if the economic gains of such lousy pollution standards can offset the expenses on healthcare and loss of worker productivity.

I’m currently in New Delhi staying on the top floor of a 19 story hotel ... yesterday morning when I woke up, I could only see the ground immediately below my window - gack... the farmers are burning the rice fields and there’s no wind at all...

我现在住在新德里一家19层的酒店的顶层... 昨天早上我醒来的时候,我只能看到窗户下面的地面... 农民们在烧稻田,根本没有风...

the farmers are burning the rice fields
Hmmm, seems like something they should stop doing.

农民们在烧稻田
嗯,看起来他们应该停止这样做。

mayanyday
Seriously, that''''s perhaps the biggest problem that''''s contributing to Asian air pollution. Farmers can''''t bother to properly handle the plants post harvest so they just collect them and burn it all right on the fields. It seems the governing bodies should be doing something but they aren''''t. Everyone is rightfully frustrated

说真的,这可能是造成亚洲空气污染的最大问题。 农民们在收获之后不能正确地处理这些作物,所以他们只是收集它们,然后全部烧掉。 看起来政府机构应该做些什么,但是他们没有。每个人都应该感到沮丧。

flexibledoorstop
They don''''t just burn out of ignorance or laziness. Tilling is more expensive - you need a tractor and specialized equipment to clear a field. Tilling also causes more soil erosion and does not control pests/pathogens as effectively as burning. So farmers would also have to spend more on soil amendment and pesticides to maintain yields.
No question they need to switch to tilling, but it''''s going to take significant financial assistance to get there. Small family farms don''''t benefit from economies of scale. Consolidation and cooperatives would help.

他们不仅仅是因为无知或懒惰而焚烧。耕作更加昂贵,你需要一台拖拉机和专门的设备来清理一块田地。耕作也会导致更多的土壤侵蚀,并且不像焚烧那样有效地控制害虫 / 病原体。因此,农民也必须花费更多的土壤改良剂和杀虫剂来维持产量。
毫无疑问,他们需要转向耕作,但这需要大量的财政援助才能实现。小型家庭农场无法从规模经济中获益。合并和合作将会有所帮助。

The same thing is done here in the US in heavy rice-producing areas. I bet that it''''s worse there, but it''''s still bad here.

同样的事情也发生在美国大米产量高的地区。 我打赌那里的情况更糟糕,但印度这里还是很糟糕。

I’m in Gurugram at the moment. Not as bad as New Delhi, but bad. What’s really weird is there is an active anti smoking campaign. Was watching a movie in the hotel and an actor was smoking. They had dubbed in “smoking kills” right on top of the movie while it was on screen.
And there are PSAs against smoking almost every commercial.
But hey - lets go outside and set our rice fields on fire....

我现在在古鲁格拉姆。不像新德里那么糟糕,但也很糟糕。 真正奇怪的是有一个积极的反吸烟运动。我在旅馆里看电影,一个演员在抽烟。他们在电影放映时在电影的正上方配上了“吸烟致死”的音效。
几乎所有的广告都有反对吸烟的公益广告。
但是,嘿,让我们去外面,放火烧我们的稻田...

eats_the_pasta
It''''s very sad and wrong that they burn stubble. Honestly when one lives hand to mouth one cannot afford to think about the environment.

他们焚烧麦茬是非常可悲且错误的。老实说,当一个人只能勉强糊口时,他就不会考虑环境问题。

I worked at a hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal a city where Monday is Trash (burning) Day and I once saw a guy driving an exposed engine block on 4 wheels. The majority of chronic illnesses were COPD/emphysema. It was surprising not to see obesity, heart disease, diabetes like in the US, because the people eat nothing but vegetables and walk everywhere. But the air was terrible.

我在尼泊尔加德满都的一家医院工作,那里星期一是垃圾焚烧日,我曾经看到一个家伙用开着一辆4个轮子裸露发动机的车。大多数慢性疾病是慢性阻塞性肺病 / 肺气肿。 在尼泊尔看不到像美国那样的肥胖、心脏病和糖尿病,因为人们除了蔬菜什么都不吃,四处步行。但是空气很糟糕。

Damn. I have quite a few coworkers from India, and all I''''ve ever heard about it is how nice of a place it is.
I assumed that since many of them are from the highest caste in their class system, I''''d be getting a bit of an obscured view of reality. I didn''''t think it was really that bad though.

India is a beautiful place. It has a long, proud, rich, diverse history. From prehistory, to modern times, all across the nation, there is so much to see and learn and its a great place. The economy is growing rapidly and there is an emergent, urban, cosmopolitan, middle class in the major cities.
But India is also a terrible country. The politics are violent, messy, and corrupt. Justice for the poor and working class is scant, the legal system is highly corrupt. Basic services are still sometimes lacking in poor and rural communities. They are only just starting to get toilets everywhere, etc.
It''''s really just about how you want to look at India, and what you want to focus on.

印度是个美丽的地方。 它有着悠久、自豪、丰富、多样的历史。从史前时代到现代,在整个国家,有这么多的东西可以看可以学习,这是一个伟大的地方。 经济增长迅速,主要城市涌现出一批新兴、城市化和国际化的中产阶级。
但是印度也是一个可怕的国家。 政治是暴力,混乱,腐败的。穷人和工人阶级得不到公正,法律体系高度腐败。贫穷和农村社区有时仍然缺乏基本服务。 他们才刚刚开始到处建厕所,等等。
这只是关于你想如何看待印度,以及你想关注什么。

I live in India right now and currently visiting Delhi (yay, great timing). School is closed to protect the children and the news channels are warning people to stay indoors, or to wear masks, especially if they have respiratory issues. That being said, I was outside all day yesterday and most people I saw were not wearing masks, including myself. My throat is definitely a little hoarse, but no major complaints (yet) and I think that the smog may be collected more in certain places, but you can see a faint brown haze ahead of you all over the place, but you won’t notice it right around you most of the time.

我现在住在印度,目前正在访问德里(耶,真TM是个好时机)。为了保护孩子们,学校已经关闭,新闻频道警告人们呆在室内,或者戴口罩,特别是如果他们有呼吸问题。话虽如此,我昨天一整天都在外面,我看到的大多数人都没有戴面具,包括我自己。我的喉咙肯定有点嘶哑,但感觉无大碍,我想烟雾可能会在某些地方聚集得更多,但是你可以看到你前面的所有地方都有微弱的棕色烟雾,但是大多数时候你不会注意到它就在你身边周围。

I''''ve lived in Delhi for almost 3 decades now, and this problem has cropped up only in the last 10 years. Rice was never historically grown in the Northwestern Indian plains. It was grown more in the east and the south, or in the hills. But not here. The government made the farmers switch to rice and wheat farming to increase farmer income. Now the time between these two crops is very short ~ a week between rice harvest and wheat planting. So the farmers burn the stubble of their harvested crops.
Whats frustrating is that Delhi uses cleaner fuels than the rest of the Indian cities, the heavy industries and power plants here have been shut and forced to move elsewhere, and Delhi is also quite green. But nothing that is done in Delhi has any bearing on the pollution once the rice stubble starts to burn. And the politicians don''''t have the guts to take on the farmers in any way.
Edit: Grammer

我在德里住了将近30年,这个问题只是在过去的10年里才出现。 从历史上看,印度西北平原从未种植过水稻。 它更多地生长在东部和南部,或者山里。 但不是在这里。 政府要求农民改种水稻和小麦,以增加农民收入。 现在这两种作物之间的时间间隔非常短——从水稻收获到小麦种植的间隔时间为一周。 因此,农民们烧掉收割后的庄稼残茬。
令人沮丧的是,德里比印度其他城市使用更清洁的燃料,这里的重工业和发电厂已经关闭并被迫转移到其他地方,德里也相当环保。 但是,一旦稻茬开始燃烧,德里所做的一切与污染没有任何关系。 而且政客们没有胆量以任何方式对抗农民。

India skipped an industrial revolution. They adopted technology from the rest of the world without going through the steps of developing it inside their country. It did great things for their economy, industry, educational system, and quality of life (for people in the cities, and it''''s slowly trickling out to the rural areas). But that means that some initiatives and developmental steps were left behind, like clean energy and recycling and clean air.

印度跳过了一场工业革命。 他们采用了世界其他国家的技术,而没有经过在国内开发的步骤。这步骤为他们的经济、工业、教育体系和生活质量做出了巨大的贡献(对于城市里的人们来说,它正慢慢渗透到农村地区)。 但这意味着一些倡议和发展步骤被抛在了后面,比如清洁能源、循环利用和清洁空气。

bleepbo0p
You do realize that during the period you call "The industrial revolution" India was de-industrialized by the British and turned into a farming economy. So instead of continuing industrializing with a population of 160 million they have had to do it from the ground up with a population of a billion. If the "West" could mind it''''s own business it would be great thanks.

你应该知道,在你所谓的“工业革命”时期,印度被英国人去工业化,变成了农业经济。 因此,他们不是以一亿六千万人口从头开始工业化,而是以十亿人口从头开始。 如果“西方”能管好自己的事,那就太感谢了。

Was in New Delhi around the same burning season a couple of years ago, a couple of American tourists were waiting outside the hotel for a shuttle to take them somewhere. After standing 15 minutes outside, about half of them had trouble breathing and an older lady passed out.
It surprises me that no nation posts a travel warning (at least for older travellers) to not travel to India during the field burning season.

几年前,在新德里的同一个燃烧土地的季节,一对美国游客在酒店外面等候接送他们的班车。 在外面站了15分钟后,大约一半的人呼吸困难,一位年长的女士昏过去了。
令我吃惊的是,没有一个国家发布旅行警告(至少对于老年旅行者) ,禁止他们在燃烧土地的季节前往印度。
