New York Lincoln Center Pollute The Environment In The Fashion Week

In the neighborhood of the New York fashion week, three giant mobile generators lie on the road.

Red carpet, stars, celebrities...

There is a dazzling visual feast in New York fashion week.

But living in

Lincoln Center in New York

The residents in the neighborhood do not like this high-profile show.

For this time

fashion week

The organizers set up 9 Simple generators in the Damm rose park to provide electricity, and the diesel smell and noise emitted by them brought enough to the residents nearby.

Older people complain of headaches, children are unable to sleep by loud music and endless music, and others change their walking routes at night.

"Although they have to do this, we are suffering."

Velez, a 52 year old artist living in a nearby public house, complained to New York Times, "how can it be?"

However, organizers of the fashion week argued that the activities were in line with health standards in terms of noise and air pollution, and the official website of the event had not received any complaints from residents.

However, Farrel, spokesman for the New York environmental protection department, said that although the generators used in fashion week are

Low sulfur diesel power

But no particulate filter has been installed to reduce smoke and dust into the atmosphere.

Because of the large-scale impact of the fashion week, investigators in New York have visited the venue and warned organizers to reduce noise pollution by eliminating noise from generators.

According to reports, some health experts believe that the air quality in New York has long been below the standard range.

The tiny particles emitted by diesel will become floating dust in the air, which will cause lung and heart diseases and lead to developmental diseases in children.

"What we bear in New York is beyond the tolerable maximum."

Frederica Pereira, Professor of Environmental Health Sciences, School of public health, Columbia University, said in an interview.

From last autumn, the venue of the New York fashion week moved from Blaine Park in Manhattan business district to Damm's park near the Lincoln center. The fashion week ended on 17 local time.

Dissatisfied local residents said that perhaps the venue for the fashion week should be relocated. "We can feel the noise and smell all day long. Why don't they move to the business district of the house?"
