Reports of acidic clouds in the sky over Iran are scientifically unfounded.

In recent days, various reports have circulated on social media claiming that acidic clouds have appeared in the Iranian sky and are reaching Central Asian regions, posing a risk of acid rain. Zamin.uz reported on this matter.

These news items have caused some confusion and concern among the public. However, experts emphasize that these claims are scientifically unfounded.

The primary cause of acid rain formation is the prolonged accumulation of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere, which then undergo chemical reactions with water vapor in clouds. Typically, such phenomena are observed in areas hosting large industrial enterprises or locations where emissions are directly released.

Given the vast distance between Iran and our country, the likelihood of pollutants from there reaching us via air masses is very low. As air currents travel long distances, the concentration of harmful substances within them rapidly decreases due to natural mixing and deposition processes in the atmosphere.

Therefore, it is scientifically almost impossible for acid rain at dangerous levels to form thousands of kilometers away from the source. Furthermore, precipitation is primarily directly linked to the formation of local clouds.

In other words, water vapor and aerosols present in the atmosphere above our region are crucial for rain or snow to fall. In conclusion, there is no need to worry about acidic clouds coming from Iran at present.

Natural processes and scientific evidence confirm this.
