Residents of Temirtau Kazakhstan is seriously concerned about the rainfall that fell on their town in the days. The problem is that the snow was black. The local Ministry of environment is investigating the causes of the incident.

The townspeople, looking closer to the snow, found it covered with thousands of tiny black grains, and gave the cover a dark grey shade. Many are convinced that the reason the industrial emissions of harmful substances from the surrounding businesses.

According to the head of the Department of ecology Mazuma Myrzagalieva, the Agency will analyze data of the urban nature and extent of compliance with industrial enterprises demands to reduce harmful effects on the environment, especially during adverse weather conditions.

Interestingly, in Kazakhstan this is not the first loss of the black snow. Similar happens in 2018, then the culprit was recognized as the company "ArcelorMittal Temirtau".
