Himalayan snow melts due to dust from Asia and Africa, scientists worried


Delhi, Ta. 9 October 2020, Friday

Himalayan ice is rapidly melting due to pollution and dust in Asia and African countries. This has been claimed in a new research. Research has shown that dust flying over the high mountains of the western Himalayas is one of the main reasons for melting ice. According to research published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the melting of ice is accelerated by dust flying over snow-capped mountains. This is because dust can absorb sunlight. Which causes the surrounding area to heat up.

Research has shown that in some parts of Africa and Asia, the melting of ice in the Himalayan region is being greatly affected by dust rising hundreds of miles away. Yun Qian, who made the claim in the discovery, is a scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy.

He said the rapidly melting ice is a matter of concern. Regular snow melting is also part of the natural situation. The salt water that flows down from the glacier flows in the form of rivers. An estimated 700 million people in Southeast Asia depend on Himalayan ice for fresh water.
