看不見的空汙
Invisible air pollution — Chinese reading, HSK 6

每到秋冬，臺灣中南部的天空常常灰濛濛的。除了東北季風把境外的汙染物吹過來，本地的工廠、火力發電廠和大量機車排放的廢氣，也是造成空汙的重要原因。

Every autumn and winter the skies over central and southern Taiwan are often grey and hazy. Besides the north-east monsoon blowing in pollutants from abroad, emissions from local factories, coal-fired power stations and huge numbers of scooters are major causes too.
細懸浮微粒小到肉眼看不見，卻能深入肺部，長期吸入會增加罹患肺癌和心血管疾病的風險。因此，許多家長每天出門前，都會先查看空氣品質指數，再決定讓孩子戴不戴口罩。

Fine particulate matter is too small to see, yet it can penetrate deep into the lungs, and long-term exposure raises the risk of lung cancer and cardiovascular disease. So many parents check the air quality index before going out each day to decide whether their children should wear masks.
改善空汙無法一蹴而就，需要政府與民眾一起努力。

Improving air pollution can't be done overnight; it needs the government and the public working together.
