In early November 2021, a thick fog covered the capital. Some residents of the city are concerned that it can be chemical. We decided to check if their fears are justified.
The fact that this fog may not be an ordinary natural phenomenon, but a chemical emission, many bloggers spoke out, for example Maria Shukshina (169,000 subscribers), "International Association of Independent Bloggers" (14,000) and other. Some suggested that the fog is associated with the chemicals - the spraying of special harmful substances, other calculated that there was a spray of the nasal vaccine against coronavirus, others They even put forward the idea that the fog contains a poisoning, in their opinion, substance - graphene. "League of counteracting people" Turned To the Muscovites calling: “Be vigilant, do not let yourself be poisoned. Do not go outside, sit at home, close all the windows and windows, do not take the dogs for a walk, drink the absorbents. ”
The media did not stand aside: "Federal Press", and after him Rosbalt* And "New Izvestia" They published a panic statement by Igor Tarasov, an Orthodox priest from Kolomna. According to him, “the smell of chemistry is so strong - after 5 minutes a sore nose and throat, eyes are watery ... Friends write, this is a coarse -display fog. Google - fog, produced by sprayers with a trigger and sprayers with a pump, is a coarse ... tomorrow the growth of the sick will be large. " He suggested that in this way the authorities raise the statistics of the incidence of coronavirus, and also noted the fact that some stars, for example, TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak, left the country. Panic added interview The scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Roman Wilfand, in which he called the fog by radiation, which some apparently seemed to be an identical radioactive.
To begin with, we will deal with those theories that we ourselves and our colleagues have analyzed in the framework of facts.
Khimtreilov does not exist, this is a popular conspiracy theory, according to which the trace of the plane in the sky is nothing more than sprayed chemicals. In fact, a white trace is a regular condensation that forms due to the difference in temperature: hot exhaust gas and cold air. An ordinary engine of a working car in the cold will leave a similar trace, only less persistent.
Grafen is not poisoning substance, and formed by a layer of carbon with a thickness of one atom, its modification. The human body is 18.5% consists of from carbon. U Oxide Grafen, according to AFP factor, “there is some toxicity, but relatively small, so the material is widely studied for use in the delivery systems of drugs and diagnostic sensors in vivo”.
The only nasal nasal vaccine from coronavirus is still in Russia yet located In the development stage. On October 12, the second phase of testing of the drug (RCT No. 640) began, it will last until December 31, 2021 and only 500 volunteers will take part in it. By estimates Developers, all stages of clinical research should end by the end of 2023. Moreover, the existing drug for intranasal administration does not replace The intramuscular vaccine, but only serves as an additional protection for already vaccinated and ill. So the assumption that fog with the elements of the vaccine will raise collective immunity is groundless.
The news of the emission or leakage of chemicals also did not find confirmation. The management of the NPO PrOMM enterprise in the village of Sosenki, the release on which users expected, refuted Information about leaks or other incidents. Mosecomonitoring pollution map also does not show Exceeding the maximum permissible concentration of any of the analyzed substances in the morning of November 3. The smell of Gary appeared Due to the burning of garbage and the notorious residues in the Moscow region.
The assumption of the priest Igor Tarasov is easily refuted by the data on incidence. Contrary to his forecast given on November 2, the next day, November 3, in Moscow and the Moscow Region, the incidence of incidence was not noted. November 3 in Moscow Fixed 6827 new cases of infection. For comparison: the day before - 5736, while November 1 - 7103, and the maximum indicator for the week is October 28: 8440 cases). Data on the Moscow Region: November 3 - 2744, November 2 - 2893 (maximum indicator per week), November 1 - 2866.
Finally, it is necessary to deal with the statement of the hydrometeorological center about the radiation fog. Roman Wilfand himself declared: “Today, in the absence of clouds, the soil, the squat layer is sharply cooled. In the cold air there is a concentration of water vapor molecules, this is called fog. This is a well -studied physical process. ” The term really has long existed in Russian: for example, on Wikipedia, the radiation type of fog appears in the very first version of the article, dated As early as 2005. Google search also shows that the phenomenon is not new. In 2021, a month earlier, he He was noticed Above Cheboksars, in 2019 he Sent on Kirovskaya and Omsk region, in 2017 I enveloped it Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, in 2015 Disrupted Aviation in the UK, was also observed in Tallinn And Kyiv.
The nature of radiation fog Explains Geographer Daria Gushchina: “The term“ radiation fogs ”is in no way connected with radiation and nuclear reactions. This name is associated with solar and earthly radiation. Solar radiation is a radiation that comes from the sun and heats the Earth. Earthly, or thermal, radiation is a radiation that the Earth or the atmosphere emits. <...> there is no solar radiation at night, so the earth is gradually cooling. If the earth is cooled, then the air in contact with it gives its heat to the earth's surface and also cools. This air can cool to the dew point when the water vapor contained in the air can no longer be in it. The amount of water vapor, which may contain air, is determined by its temperature. If the temperature decreases, then the air may contain less water vapor, so the excess of water vapor will be condensed, and radiation fog of cooling is formed at the earth's surface. ”
Both Gushchin and Wilfand emphasize Attention on the fact that, although the words “radiation” and “radioactive” sound like the name of the fog has nothing to do with radioactivity. To make sure of this, it is enough to recall a few more similar words: “radio” or “heating radiator”. None of these items are inclined to attribute a radioactive danger, and many of us use them every day. All these words have The general origin is the Latin word Radiare, denoting "emit", "radiate". Radiation fog is associated precisely with solar and earthly radiation and is not dangerous.
Thus, the fog, which descended to Moscow and the region, is not connected with the attempts of power to poison or, conversely, to vaccinate people. There is no connection between radiation fog and radioactivity. This is a well -studied natural phenomenon, which was observed earlier in other places of the planet.
