What impact does the sandstorm in Niger have on the local area?

More than half of 2020 has passed. Compared with previous years, this year is not particularly smooth, and there are more natural and man-made disasters than in previous years. Half a year has passed since the outbreak of COVID-19 at the beginning of the year, but some countries are still struggling with it. The fire in Australia killed a large number of animals such as koalas, burned a large number of houses, caused casualties and brought huge environmental pollution. The locust plague in East Africa, the population of the affected countries in East Africa is130,000, facing the dilemma of serious food insecurity, of which10,000 people are in the places where the locust plague is rampant. Philippine volcano, since taal volcano erupted in 2020, * * * recorded 666 volcanic earthquakes, and the water temperature of Tagar Volcano Lake around the crater suddenly rose, resulting in the death of more than 700 tons of fish.

In addition, the temperature in Antarctica exceeds 20 degrees, and the rising temperature in Antarctica will cause the death of small animals that depend on the local temperature. Large-scale rainstorm, many cities in China have been hit by rainstorm, and even some northern cities have suddenly experienced rainstorm, which has caused a lot of losses.

In the face of natural disasters, human beings are very small. I have to mention the sandstorm in Niger. On May 7, local time, it was reported that a sandstorm suddenly swept through Niamey, the capital of Niger, a country in central and western Africa. The report video shows that a huge sand wall hundreds of meters long appeared on the edge of the city, instantly engulfing nearby houses, and the sky in the center of the sandstorm was also dyed red. Day is like night, and there is "blood color" in the sky.

What impact will this sandstorm have on the local area? First of all, it will definitely bring environmental pollution, sandstorms, floating dust everywhere, air turbidity, choking nose and eyes, which will increase the number of respiratory diseases. Secondly, it caused the loss of local life and property, and many houses were buried by dust, which must have caused a lot of property losses and casualties. In addition, it has an impact on people's production and life. A lot of dust carried by sandstorm blocks the sunshine, and the weather is gloomy, which reduces the solar radiation and visibility, makes people depressed, reduces the efficiency of work and study, and also causes certain harm to crops. Human beings are very small in the face of natural disasters, so we must take care of the environment!
