來(lái)源Pollution Around The World
譯者jackey2010

Just how polluted is it in, say, Iraq? Well, as someone who has spent more time there than my lungs are comfortable with, a lot. But such anecdotal evidence isn't really that scientifically interesting.

全球各地的污染到底有多嚴(yán)重呢,？或者比如說(shuō)伊拉克,？好，也許有些人在那兒待了很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間并且過(guò)的很舒適,，然而這樣的像秩事一樣的證據(jù)卻不是科學(xué)真正感興趣的,。

For years it's been tough to measure particulate pollution in places where there aren't ground based sensors, and satellites haven't been able to pick up small particulate matter (really small stuff that can bypass your body's defenses and lodge in your lungs). But now some researchers have combined satellite data and have produced this map of particulate pollution from 2001-2006 across the world

多年來(lái)，許多地區(qū)沒(méi)有基于地面搖感器或者衛(wèi)星不能獲得微粒物質(zhì)數(shù)據(jù),，而對(duì)這些地區(qū)的微粒污染的測(cè)量一直是一件棘手的事,。（事實(shí)上微粒可以繞過(guò)你身體的防御系統(tǒng)然后寄宿在你的肺里）但是現(xiàn)在一些研究者結(jié)合衛(wèi)星數(shù)據(jù)成功地繪制出了這幅從2001年至2006年全球微粒污染的地圖,！

And yep, Iraq is really polluted.

看看吧,！伊拉克的的確確是受污染了啊,！
