Air pollution in Asia causes terrible storms

(Air pollution in China and other Asian countries is having a huge impact on climatic zones across the northern hemisphere, a recent study said.

Researchers have found that contaminants are exacerbating storms in the Pacific, and at the same time causing more changes to the climate system in other parts of the world. The impact of pollution is most evident in the winter. This research has just been published in the Proceedings of the PNAS National Academy of Sciences.

The lead author of Mr. Yuan Wang - from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, said: 'The consequences of pollution are really terrible, it makes the clouds become thicker and taller as well as make more rain becomes much heavier '.

The atmosphere is toxic

There are many areas of Asia where pollution levels are at an alarming level.

In Beijing, contaminants often reach extremely dangerous levels, while in New Delhi - the capital of India, the release of these substances often reaches above the Organization's recommendation. World Health.

This not only causes catastrophic consequences for people living in the region, but also proves other impacts on the environment, climate and the Earth.

"Small streams of pollution are blown to the North Pacific, where they interact with water droplets in the air," the team said. This makes the clouds more dense, contributing to making the storms more intense.

Dr. Yuan Wang said: 'Because the path of the storm in the Pacific is an important part of the global climate circulation, the effects of pollution in Asian countries are on the storm. causing more impacts on the climate zone of other regions in the world in winter, especially in the downstream areas like North America '.

Commenting on the study, Professor Ellie Highwood, a climate physicist at the University of Reading, said: 'We must increase awareness that pollution in the atmosphere not only affects its environment. born, but also controlled terrible influence to many parts of the world. This research is a good example of that. '

The study not only awakened Asian countries but also called on all countries in the world to reduce pollutants to ensure their own life on this planet.
