Will artificial snowfall really harm human health and the environment?

In the Clean Water Act formulated by the United Nations Environmental Protection Agency, silver iodide is classified as a toxic substance. Silver iodide is a compound of iodine and silver, which is insoluble in water, but can be decomposed into iodine ion and silver ion by light. Silver ion is a kind of heavy metal ion, which is very toxic and especially harmful to microorganisms and fish. Long-term exposure to iodine and silver chemicals can also lead to poisoning.

14, when I woke up, Jinan was wrapped in silver, and my circle of friends was brushed by the heavy snow in the early morning. The first snow in Jinan on 20 19 was very heavy, from 13 to 14, and it didn't end until after midnight.

However, this snow can have this "scale" thanks to the help of the 186 rocket. The "power" of the rocket has also caused many citizens to question: "Is there a security risk in funa?" "Will silver iodide catalyst do harm to human body and pollute the environment?"

In response, the relevant person in charge of the Jinan Meteorological Observatory responded that artificial snow increase will not cause harm to health and the environment. Experts from Hebei Meteorological Observatory said that artificial snow-increasing technology did play a role in this snowfall.

However, the amount of silver iodide used in weather modification is very small, the snowfall is very large, and the content per unit area is very small, which can be basically ignored. It will not endanger public health, nor will it affect the environment, so don't worry too much.

But it is really not recommended for children or curious friends to eat snow, because even if silver iodide is not easy to cause harm, there will be other pollutants and impurities in the snow, so eating snow is very unsanitary.

It is reported that the artificial rain and snow increase operation in Jinan is generally in the southern mountainous areas, Changqing and Pingyin. The material of rain-increasing rocket is very special, which is different from artillery shells and rockets used in combat. The shell and warhead are nonmetallic, but fibrous. Each fragment formed by its self-explosion in the air is less than 100g, so don't worry about falling and hurting people.
