新西兰调查大规模大肠杆菌疫情 外国瓶装水公司受指责

 

    近期新西兰北哈乌洛克镇（Havelock North）爆发肠胃炎疫情，造成至少5200人感染，超过这个镇三分之一人口数目，初步调查发现是城镇饮用水系统遭大肠杆菌污染造成。

 

    大量国外瓶装矿泉水公司在当地许可生产，引起当地居民愤怒抗议，要求暂停外国瓶装水公司在这个地区“免费”抽取地下水并售卖海外，以保护居民用水，避免地下水位继续降低。

    Hawke's Bay and other communities will be placed at risk unless the Government takes a wider approach with their inquiry into the Havelock North water contamination, Green Party co-leader James Shaw says.

 

    Since early August, 5200 people were infected by campylobacter after the town's water supply was contaminated with E.coli.

 

    Over the weekend, public health experts and Mr Shaw suggested the government-initiated inquiry presented an opportunity to also explore the impacts of climate change on water supplies - amongother things.
