What are the harmful effects of cloud seeding in the industrialization on the atmosphere and the measure being used to combat?

Cloud seeding uses Silver Iodide to provide nuclei for water to form droplets on. Like most chemicals, Silver Iodide can be harmful if ingested in large quantities, but this requires massive and/or continued exposure. Studies in 1977 and 1981 showed minimal residual traces after cloud seeding. Approximately 50 tons are used each year for this purpose, which is a very small amount in comparison to the total volume of the atmosphere. The effectiveness of cloud seeding is debatable - several organizations have given up on trying to use it in a systematic manner - eg the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) gave up trying to mitigate hurricanes with cloud seeding in 1968 Rumors linking cloud seeding to the chemtrail hoax exist, however barium is not used for cloud seeding.

What is the most common method of rainmaking?

The most common method of rainmaking is cloud seeding, which involves dispersing substances such as silver iodide, sodium chloride, or liquid propane into the atmosphere to encourage precipitation. This process enhances the formation of ice crystals or water droplets in clouds, leading to increased rainfall. Cloud seeding is typically carried out using aircraft or ground-based generators. While it can be effective under certain conditions, its success is dependent on existing cloud moisture and atmospheric conditions.

What is a method used to modify precipitation by dropping tiny crystals into clouds?

It's called "cloud seeding," and the crystals most often used are silver iodide. The Chinese government plans to use this system to exhaust clouds of their moisture before they drift over the site of the Olympic Games this year.

How is water vapor generated?

Water vapour is most commonly know as a steam substance when water has started to boil and turn into a gas. Water vapour on a lake for example will rise into the atmosphere and start to condense into a cloud which will later on fall as a liquid (rain) when it is cool. This is called Changing State.
