污浊空气困扰爱情丰碑印度泰姬陵
http://www.sina.com.cn 2005/02/24 16:20  国际在线

  The Indian government's environment watchdog has expressed concern about increasing air pollution around the world-famous marble monument to love, the Taj Mahal, a report said.

  "There is a gross violation of sensitive area ambient air quality norms with respect to both suspended particulate matters and respiratory particulate matters," the Press Trust of India (news - web sites) Wednesday quoted an affidavit filed by the Central Pollution Control Board in the Supreme Court as saying.

  The Taj Mahal, which was given a facelift two years ago to remove decades of grime and pollution stains, was built by the heartbroken emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his second wife Mumtaz Mahal in the 17th century.

  The major source of pollution around the Taj has been smoke spewed out of thousands of nearby iron foundries, brick kilns and glass-making units.

  In a bid to preserve the Taj the Supreme Court in 1996 ordered the closure or relocation of the polluting units and imposed a ban on industrial activity and on motor vehicles in the vicinity of the marble monument. It also ordered regular monitoring of the air quality around the monument.

  Some 2.2 million Indians and 800,000 foreigners last year visited the Taj Mahal in the northern town of Agra -- far more than any other tourist site in India.

污浊空气困扰爱情丰碑印度泰姬陵

  印度环境监察部门近日表示,污浊空气正在将世界闻名的爱情的丰碑——泰姬陵重重包围。

  据法新社2月23日援引印度环境污染控制中心监察会负责人的话说:“泰姬陵正被严重污染的空气包围着,这些空气里含有大量对建筑物保护和人体健康造成威胁的悬浮颗粒。”

  两年前,泰姬陵就进行了一次表面大清洗,清除了许多陈年污渍和尘垢。困扰泰姬陵的污浊空气来源于分布在其周围的数千家钢铁厂、砖瓦厂和玻璃厂的废气。印度最高法院1996年颁布法令,要求对泰姬陵周围的工厂进行关闭或整改,并采取措施对工厂和机动车废气对泰姬陵的破坏进行控制。同时,法令还规定要定期对泰姬陵作空气质量检测。

  报道说,去年共有220万印度人和80万外国游客参观了位于阿格拉城北部的泰姬陵。这座莫卧儿王朝帝王沙贾汉为爱妃泰吉-马哈尔建造的爱情的丰碑所吸引的游人数远远高于印度其它的旅游胜地。(文/蒋黎黎)
