As some people are allergic to proteins found in latex, most medical gloves tend to be made from petroleum-based nitrile rubber instead.

由于有些人对乳胶中的蛋白质过敏，因此大多数医用手套往往采用石油基橡胶制成。

They are more sustainable than nitrile gloves because natural rubber absorbs carbon dioxide rather than producing it, and they should biodegrade in about a year.

它们比手套更具可持续性， 因为天然橡胶吸收二氧化而不是产生二氧化，并且它们应该在大约生物降解。

As covid took hold, some 80m pairs of gloves were being used by health workers every month, with the nitrile ones ending up in landfill.

随着新冠疫情的蔓延， 医护人员每月大约使用 8000 万双手套，而手套最终被送入垃圾填埋场。

And regular people can do their part as well, especially with all the single-use PPE we've all been wearing throughout the pandemic—like the nitrile glove pieces Pauly found inside one of the turtles.

普通人也可以尽自己的份力量，尤其是我们在整个大流行期间直穿着的所有次性个人防护装备——比如保利在只海龟体发现的手套。
