Disinfect：消毒，滅菌

美國環境保護總署(Environmental Protection Agency，EPA)最近對158架美國民航客機的抽樣測試發現，航班上約有13%的飲用水不符合環保署的標準，主要是因為機上的水被大腸桿菌等細菌污染。盡管此舉遭到了各大航空公司的質疑和反駁，美政府與十幾家航空公司于本周二（11月9日）達成協議，要求改善航班上的衛生設施，并增加對飛機上飲用水的測試。外電報道如下：The government and a dozen airlines struck a deal Tuesday requiring sanitation improvements and increased testing of drinking water aboard aircraft after officials found evidence of harmful bacteria in the water of one in every eight planes tested.

At the same time, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it would perform random water quality tests on 169 domestic and international passenger aircraft at 14 airports throughout the United States and publish the results by the end of the year.

If coliform bacteria are discovered, the airliners will have to be disinfected within 24 hours unless the agency grants an extension because the plane involved is outside the United States. In the meantime, passengers would find signs posted in the lavatories and galleys of affected aircraft.

Disinfect表示“消毒，滅菌”，例如：disinfect a wound（為傷口消毒）；Rigorous sanitation measures have been taken to disinfect SARS contaminated places and articles and we felt deeply that preventing infection within hospitals is of vital importance.（要采取嚴格的衛生措施對被非典病毒污染過的地方和物品進行消毒，我們深感在醫院內部預防病毒傳染的重要性。）
