美國生物公司于夏威夷島進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)基因試驗(yàn)引發(fā)不滿

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)美國食品安全新聞網(wǎng)消息，夏威夷群島中的考艾島是美國生物技術(shù)公司熱衷從事轉(zhuǎn)基因作物試驗(yàn)的島嶼，部分作物被用來測試抗農(nóng)藥基因，然而民眾擔(dān)心生物技術(shù)公司噴灑的農(nóng)藥會(huì)對學(xué)校、醫(yī)院、水源地與居住區(qū)產(chǎn)生影響，因此民眾對轉(zhuǎn)基因試驗(yàn)發(fā)起了抵制活動(dòng)。近日考艾島地方政府通過一項(xiàng)法令，要求生物技術(shù)公司向外界公布所使用的的化學(xué)品名單。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    Thanks to a year-round growing season, the Hawaiian island of Kauai is a popular place for biotech companies to work on developing genetically modified （GM） crops.

    At least some of those crops, however, are grown to test the effectiveness of their pesticide-resistant genes - a fact that has led to numerous protests by islanders in recent months.
