More than 400 schools in Malaysia have closed this week after air pollution caused vomiting in dozens of students, authorities said. Since Monday, 104 children have fallen ill in the southern state of Johor because of the pollution, according to local officials. Most cases were in the state's Pasir Gudang district.
马来西亚当局表示，空气污染致数十名学生出现呕吐现象，400多所学校在本周已停课。当地官员表示，自周一以来，柔佛州已有104名儿童受空气污染影响，其中大多数出现在柔佛州巴西古当市。
”The department will continuously monitor the situation and assist the schools to ensure the safety and well being of the students are at its best," Johor Education Department Director Azman Adnan said in a statement. The closures began on Tuesday and were expected to last until Thursday.
柔佛州教育厅主任阿兹曼·阿德南表示，“教育部将持续关注事态发展，并协助学校确保学生安全，让他们拥有最佳健康状态”。周二学校已停课，预计将持续到周四。
They come just months after toxic waste was illegally dumped in a local river, causing 4,000 people to fall ill and more than 100 schools to close in March.
Authorities say the two cases are unrelated, but parents are worried about the uptick in incidents. "Not only is the health of our children at risk, but these students are also facing more setbacks to their school and classes," said Azlina Abd Aziz, a 44-year-old mother of three.
几个月前，有人向当地一条河里非法倾倒了有毒废物，导致4000人被毒气侵袭，100多所学校在3月被迫停课。
有关当局称，这两起案件并无关联，但家长对此类事件直线攀升表示担忧。44岁的阿兹莉娜·阿布德·阿齐兹有三个孩子，她说，“不仅孩子的健康受到了威胁，学生上学和上课也面临许多问题”。
”We are not sure what chemicals are polluting our area and quick action must be taken. A fine alone doesn't make sense because this has disrupted many communities in Pasir Gudang.” Azlina said two of her three daughters had to be pulled from school due to this week's pollution, amid reports of students collapsing and vomiting. "I rushed to my 10-year-old daughter's school and was so worried about her because she has chronic asthma," she said.
“我们无法确定到底是哪些化学物质正在污染我们的社区，但我们必须迅速采取行动。巴西古当的许多社区都遇到了这个问题，仅仅依靠罚款政策无法取得成效。报道称学生出现了晕倒和呕吐现象，阿兹莉娜说，她三个女儿中有两个都因为污染事件被迫停课。“我10岁女儿患有慢性哮喘，我非常担心她，所以我直接跑到了她的学校。”
