我国环保部紧急叫停X射线全身安检扫描仪

China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) has urged the removal of full-body X-ray scanners at airports and railway stations due to radiation risks.

由于辐射风险，中国环境保护部敦促各机场和火车站停止使用X射线全身扫描仪。

In an urgent document sent to the Department of Environmental Protection of Sichuan Province last Monday, the MEP urged DEPSP to strengthen law enforcement and stop producing, selling and using full-body X-ray scanners without authorization to ensure the safety of the people.

在上星期一发送到四川省环境保护局的一份紧急文件中，环保部要求该保护局加强执法并停止生产、销售和使用没有授权的X射线全身扫描仪，来确保公民的安全。

The move came after some travelers complained about radiation hazards from the use of full-body security scanners at some train stations and airports in Chengdu and Mianyang.

此前部分旅客投诉称，成都和绵阳的一些火车站和机场使用的全身安全扫描仪可能会带来辐射危害。

After receiving the MEP document, the DEPSP said last Wednesday that the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport is suspected of violating environmental protection regulations by using the devices.

在接收到环保部的文件之后，四川省环境保护局于上周三表示，成都双流国际机场因使用该设备而涉嫌违反环保规定。

The MEP said that the use of ionizing radiation devices to screen humans on a large scale at airports, railways stations and ports is not appropriate.

环保部称，在机场、火车站和港口使用电离辐射设备进行大规模人体检测不具备正当性。
