It can yes.
More snow :)
yes it does
Good is less snow to wipe, therefore causing better traffic. Bad is people can die from pollution.
For example the industrial snow. It is a product of wet air near different chimneys when inversion occurs.
heck no, its just a normal weather like rain or snow.
These are lumped together as acidic precipitation.
Freshly fallen snow typically has a pH level around 5.6, which is slightly acidic. However, this can vary depending on factors such as pollution levels in the atmosphere.
Snow can appear dirty due to a process called snow pollution, where pollutants from the air and ground, such as dust, dirt, and ash, accumulate on snowflakes as they fall. Additionally, road salt and de-icing chemicals can mix with snow, further causing it to appear dirty.
Scientists use snow to measure air pollution because it acts as a natural reservoir that captures and holds pollutants from the atmosphere as it falls. When snow accumulates, it can trap harmful substances like heavy metals, nitrates, and other particulates, allowing researchers to analyze the snow for these contaminants. By studying the concentration of pollutants in snow samples, scientists can assess the levels of air pollution over time and understand its sources and impacts on the environment. This method is particularly useful in remote areas where traditional air quality monitoring might be challenging.
just because snow may look clean its filled with bacteria from the ground and pollution from the air
Pollution can impact snow leopards by contaminating their prey, leading to health issues and reproductive problems. Chemical pollutants like pesticides can also accumulate in their bodies, causing serious harm to their health. Additionally, pollution can degrade their habitat, reducing available prey and disrupting their natural behaviors.
Snow and rain are capable of picking up various pollutants. For example, they can pick up pollution from coal fired power plants.
