Soot clouds from Canada cloudy Munich's sky - air quality sinks!

Kanada - The forest fires in Canada have developed into a serious problem in the past two weeks that now also affects Europe. The provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia are affected, where the fires spread quickly due to the ongoing drought. The flames send soot particles to a long journey through the Atlantic, which have now also arrived in Germany and especially in Bavaria. This reports Image .

As can be seen from the current measurements, the highest fine dust values ​​worldwide were sometimes measured in Munich. This burden means that the air quality in parts of Bavaria is classified as poor. The jet stream, the strong wind tape at larger heights, carries the soot particles over 6000 kilometers to Europe, where they cloud the sky. According to Spiegel labor, responsible for the transport of these particles.

Overall, air quality in Bavaria remains an important topic that concerns the population. The pollutants from the forest fires can not only burden air quality, but also have long -term health consequences. Jürgen Schmidt, a graduate meteorologist, emphasizes that despite the current situation, measures to improve air quality must be taken. The journey of the soot particles is an impressive example of how natural forces can work across continents.
