Andrey Podrezov, after analyzing the latest high-altitude maps, stated that Kyrgyzstan is not under any threat. "This is misinformation created by some unscrupulous source. Harmful particles cannot cover such distances and simply disappear during the reaction process. All these rumors about acid clouds approaching Kyrgyzstan are just sensationalism without any real basis," he emphasized.
The meteorologist also recalled the acid rains that hit Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey during the Gulf War in 1991, when large-scale fires occurred at oil wells.
Podrezov urged the citizens of Kyrgyzstan not to panic at the mention of "acid rains." "Many imagine that concentrated sulfuric acid will pour down from the sky. This is not the case at all. Acid rain is simply rain with acidic properties that will not harm people. However, it can affect vegetation: salts remaining on the leaves can damage their tissues, but this process takes time," he added.
He also noted that it constantly rains in Kyrgyzstan, and considering the level of harmful emissions, their composition can be no less dangerous. Emissions from cars and other sources contain toxic substances, so precipitation in the country can be both acidic and alkaline," said the meteorologist.
