A new scientific report published in the American Chemical Society’s journal Nano Letters provides new evidence that washing fruit before eating it does not remove toxic agricultural chemicals.
發表在美國化學學會（American Chemical Society）雜誌《納米快報》（Nano Letters）上的一份新的科學報告提供了新的證據，證明在食用水果之前清洗水果並不能去除有毒的農業化學物質。

A new scientific report lends weight to consumer concerns about pesticide residues on food, presenting fresh evidence that washing fruit before eating it does not remove various toxic chemicals commonly used in agriculture.
一份新的科學報告強調了消費者對食品中農藥殘留的擔憂，提供了新的證據表明，在食用水果之前清洗水果並不能去除農業中常用的各種有毒化學物質。

 The paper, authored by Chinese researchers and published Wednesday in the American Chemical Society’s journal Nano Letters, comes amid ongoing debate over the extent of pesticide contamination of food, and the potential health risks associated with a steady diet that includes residues of weed killing chemicals, insecticides and other farm chemicals.
 這篇論文由中國研究人員撰寫，並於週三發表在美國化學學會的《納米快報》（Nano Letters）雜誌上，正值關於食品中農藥污染程度以及與穩定飲食相關的潛在健康風險的持續辯論，包括除草化學品，殺蟲劑和其他農場化學品的殘留物。

In May, Consumer Reports said it had determined that 20% of 59 different fruit and vegetable categories carried pesticide residues at levels that posed “significant risks” to consumers, based on an analysis of data gathered by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
今年5月，《消費者報告》表示，根據對美國農業部（USDA）收集的數據的分析，它已經確定，在59種不同的水果和蔬菜類別中，有20%的農藥殘留水準對消費者構成“重大風險”。

The central point of the new paper is primarily to share the technical details of a process the authors developed allowing for enhanced trace detection of pesticides in foods. But the underlying finding about the ineffectiveness of washing fruit is important for consumers who may be relying on food safety practices that are insufficient, the authors said.
這篇新論文的中心點主要是分享作者開發的一種工藝的技術細節，該工藝可以增強食品中農藥的痕量檢測。但是，作者說，關於清洗水果無效的潛在發現對於可能依賴食品安全實踐不足的消費者來說很重要。

Traditional “fruit-cleaning operations cannot wholly remove pesticides,” the paper states.
該論文指出，傳統的「水果清潔操作無法完全去除農藥」。

When using the technique to examine an apple, for instance, the researchers said the “imaging results prove that the pesticides penetrate the peel layer into the pulp layer.”
例如，當使用該技術檢查蘋果時，研究人員表示，「成像結果證明，殺蟲劑會滲透到果皮層到果肉層。

Using the technology they developed, the authors said they found the pesticide contamination diminished when the apple peel was removed along with some of the pulp layer.
利用他們開發的技術，作者說，他們發現當去除蘋果皮和一些果肉層時，農藥污染減少了。

“This study, situated within the expansive realm of food safety, endeavors to furnish health guidance to consumers,” said Dongdong Ye, a professor with the School of Materials and Chemistry at Anhui Agricultural University and an author of the paper. “Rather than fostering undue apprehension, the research posits that peeling can effectively eliminate nearly all pesticide residues, contrasted with the frequently recommended practice of washing.”
“這項研究位於食品安全的廣闊領域，致力於為消費者提供健康指導”，安徽農業大學材料與化學學院教授、該論文的作者葉冬東說。“該研究認為，剝皮可以有效消除幾乎所有的農藥殘留物，而不是培養過度的擔憂，這與經常推薦的清洗做法形成鮮明對比。”

Consumer Reports senior scientist Michael Hansen said the new technique could be helpful to academics and government scientists in better understanding pesticide persistence in foods and how to better protect consumers.
《消費者報告》高級科學家邁克爾·漢森（Michael Hansen）表示，這項新技術可能有助於學者和政府科學家更好地瞭解食品中農藥的持久性以及如何更好地保護消費者。

“This is actually useful for understanding how these pesticides move in,” Hansen said. “This is more science showing that, yes, there are concerns. Don’t just think that washing is going to help you.”
“這實際上對於理解這些殺蟲劑是如何進入的很有用”，漢森說。“這更多的科學表明，是的，存在擔憂。不要只是認為洗滌會幫助到你。

The health risks posed by pesticides have been documented in several studies, but most of those deal with occupational exposure, rather than dietary. The USDA, as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), maintain that pesticide residues in foods are not generally a concern for health if they fall within legal limits.
一些研究已經記錄了殺蟲劑帶來的健康風險，但其中大多數研究涉及職業暴露，而不是飲食。美國農業部以及食品和藥物管理局 （FDA） 堅持認為，如果食品中的農藥殘留在法律限制範圍內，通常不會對健康造成影響。

Both agencies have been tracking levels of pesticide residues in foods for decades, reporting their findings annually.
幾十年來，這兩個機構一直在追蹤食品中農藥殘留的水準，每年報告他們的調查結果。

In the most recent USDA pesticide data program report, the agency said that 99% of foods tested had residues that fell within legal limits and thus did not “pose risk to consumers’ health and are safe.”
在最新的美國農業部農藥數據計劃報告中，該機構表示，99%的測試食品的殘留物都在法定範圍內，因此不會“對消費者的健康構成風險，並且是安全的”。

Still, more than 72% of the over 10,000 food samples did carry detectable pesticide residues, the USDA reported.
儘管如此，美國農業部報告說，在10,000多個食品樣本中，超過72%確實帶有可檢測的農藥殘留。
