Toxic metals such as cadmium, copper, and zinc have been detected in the clouds of the Himalayan mountain range, raising concerns about environmental and health risks.
The Himalayas, considered one of the world’s most pristine natural wonders, have retained their pristine state for thousands of years. However, scientists warn that climate change and other factors are altering this iconic mountain range. A recent study by the Bose Institute revealed that clouds in the Mahabaleshwar region contain twice as many toxic metals compared to those in Darjeeling.
According to researchers, the clouds in the Himalayas are silently carrying toxic heavy metals, posing new health risks, including carcinogenic effects. The study found that clouds in the eastern Himalayas are 1.5 times more polluted than those in the western regions. The presence of dissolved chromium in these clouds could lead to carcinogenic diseases through inhalation.
The Bose Institute’s research identified toxic metals like cadmium, copper, and zinc in Himalayan clouds, with higher concentrations observed in the eastern Himalayas, leading to increased risks of various diseases. Scientists are now investigating the sources of elevated levels of cadmium, chromium, copper, and zinc in clouds around the Himalayan region. It is believed that emissions from vehicles and industries at the foothills are contributing to this contamination. These toxic metals, carried by clouds, are spreading through rainwater, potentially altering the water systems of the Himalayan region.
