Delhi Smog Emergency: Cloud Seeding Operation Underway to Clear Deadly Air #shorts #shortfeed #delhi
Delhi is in a state of smog emergency 🚨, with AQI levels soaring to hazardous limits. The government, in collaboration with IIT-Kanpur, is launching an unprecedented and controversial operation: Cloud Seeding to induce artificial rain 🌧️.
Key Facts You Need to Know:
Mission: Aircraft will disperse chemicals (primarily Silver Iodide) into existing clouds ☁️ to force precipitation, aiming to wash deadly particulate matter (PM2.5) from the air.
Target Date: The first full operation is tentatively planned for October 29 , contingent on favorable weather conditions.
The Controversy: Experts and scientists widely condemn this expensive measure, calling it a "band-aid solution."
Effectiveness: Delhi's winter air is often too dry; suitable clouds may not be present.
Sustainability: Even if successful, the air quality improvement is expected to last only 1-2 days. It fails to address the root causes of pollution (vehicular emissions, stubble burning 🔥, and industrial sources).
Risk: Concerns exist over the environmental impact of introducing large amounts of chemicals like Silver Iodide into the ecosystem 🧪.
