中文注释:一只从马邵尔群岛的罗格莱普阿托尔岛附近水域捕捉到的橘黄色螃蟹无法有力地证明放射性化合物污染了它们的居住地。在20世纪四、五十年代,美国在比基尼阿托尔群岛(环太平洋群岛)进行了一系列的核试验。放射性排放物仍然污染着罗格莱普阿托尔岛向西大约100英里(160千米)的地方,但是,近期的研究发现这并没有给那里的海洋生物造成长期的影响。 (照片为《国家地理》杂志1998年4月刊“罗格莱普水域检测”所拍,但并未发表。) 作者: Emory Kristof
拉格朗普 环礁 螃蟹 马邵尔群岛 西太平洋 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Rongelap Atoll Crab, Marshall Islands, 1996An orange crab taken from the waters near the Marshall Islands Rongelap Atoll bears no outward evidence of the radioactive compounds that pollute its habitat. In the 1940s and '50s, the United States conducted a series of nuclear tests in the Bikini Atoll, a ring of Pacific islands. Radioactive fallout still pollutes Rongelap Atoll, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the east, but recent studies have found no long-term impact on marine life there.
