Information is spreading on social networks that so-called "acid clouds" have allegedly formed over the territory of Iran, which can reach the countries of Central Asia.
Kazhydromet reported that such reports are not confirmed by the results of observations.
Information about the so-called "acid clouds" over Iran, which allegedly can reach the countries of Central Asia, is not supported by scientific data and observations.
Acid precipitation is formed from sulfur and nitrogen oxides entering the atmosphere mainly from industry, energy and transport, and usually occurs near sources of pollution. When air masses are transported over long distances, the concentration of these substances decreases significantly due to natural atmospheric processes.
According to monitoring data, there are no signs of transfer of such pollutants towards Kazakhstan and Central Asian countries. In this regard, experts recommend that you focus on official data from national meteorological and environmental services and refrain from distributing unverified information.
