Recently, Mongolia suffered a serious sandstorm, which caused losses and impacts to local residents?

On the morning of March 15, local time in Mongolia, the National Emergency Bureau of Mongolia released a message that 548 herders in 9 provinces of Mongolia were missing in a sandstorm from the evening of March 13 to 5438+05 in June. As of 4: 00pm on March 5th, 467 people have been found, including 5 herders from central Gobi province and 1 children from Houhangai province. At present, the local government is still organizing personnel to actively search for the remaining missing herders. The impacts and losses caused by this sandstorm to local residents are as follows:

Destruction of living environment

We know that Mongolia is located in the Mongolian Plateau in Central Asia, and there is less cultivated land in the country. Most of this country is covered by grasslands, with mountains in the northwest and Gobi desert in the south. About 30% of the population in China depend on nomadic industry for their livelihood. This extraordinary sandstorm has brought great harm to the already bad ecological environment in Mongolia. Sandstorms will carry a lot of dust to erode soil, destroy vegetation and destroy the living environment of local residents. ?

Limited production and life

According to news reports, at least 120 fence was damaged and a large number of livestock were scattered. Moreover, in June of 5438+03 and June of 5438+04, when sandstorms occurred, there was a large-scale power outage in northwest Mongolia. It greatly affects the orderly production and life of local residents.

Threaten the safety of life and property.

By 4 pm, five lives had died in this disaster, and nearly 100 people were missing. The disaster caused countless property losses to local residents. In addition, the impact of sandstorms on human health is lasting, especially on human respiratory system. When people are exposed to sandstorms, they will inhale particles such as pm2.5 in the air. These tiny particles invade the human body, which will cause lung diseases and various respiratory diseases, seriously affecting the health of local residents.

In addition to the above points, sandstorms will also bring great inconvenience to the traffic of local residents. The visibility in polar regions, the invasion of dust and the raging wind have seriously hindered the daily appearance of local residents.
