Residents of Temirtau village, Kazakhstan were terrified to find the local snow turned black.

According to Daily mail, the world's first black snow appeared in remote villages in Kazakhstan. Local people said the falling snow was still white but when it fell to the ground, they suddenly turned into a dirty black.

Images spread quickly on social networks. A group of scientists went to the area to study the strange phenomenon.

It is known that Temirtau is located in the heart of Kazakhstan's metallurgical industry and is home to the nation's largest steelmaking plant.

ArcelorMittal Temirtau, owner of a shared steel factory, said that waste from factories and industrial parks caused snow to turn black.

In December 2017, Kazakhstan's national hydrometeorological agency released information that the levels of hydrogen sulphide H2S exceeded 11 times.

Scientists are currently conducting research to make a final conclusion.
