Iran oil storage strikes caused acid rain

After the strikes on oil depots in Iranian territory, reports have emerged about acid precipitation occurring in some areas. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Experts suggest that this situation may be related to harmful substances released into the atmosphere. The Iranian Red Crescent Society has also confirmed this information.

According to representatives of the organization, explosions at facilities storing oil or fuel release large amounts of toxic chemical compounds into the air. This can subsequently lead to the formation of acid rain.

Experts explain that as a result of such attacks, combustion products, particularly substances like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, are dispersed into the atmosphere. These chemical elements react with moisture in the air to form weak solutions of sulfuric and nitric acids.

As a result, when these substances fall to the ground with precipitation, acid rain is formed. Such precipitation can pose a threat to nature and human health.

Experts emphasize that acid rain can negatively affect plant growth, damage buildings and infrastructure objects. Additionally, this rain may cause itching sensations on human skin and potentially affect the respiratory system.
