Russia says mysterious yellow snow not toxic

56 minutes ago

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Mysterious yellow snow that fell on parts of Siberia earlier this week is not toxic, Russian emergency officials said on Friday.

The emergency ministry has flown a chemical laboratory to the Omsk region in Siberia to investigate the matter.

"Yellow snow that fell on Omsk region two days ago poses no threat to people's health," Vladimir Gurzhei, a regional emergency official, told Interfax news agency. He said the snow was "yellow, with oily marks and a distinctive smell."

Omsk region is home to a number of oil and gas refineries. Domestic media debated what might have caused the anomaly.

Russia's weather watchdog said it may have been caused by a rare dust hurricane in neighboring Kazakhstan.

Alexei Yablokov of the Russian Academy of Science told Ekho Mosvky radio station it may have been polluted by a chemical accident in Siberia.

I debated putting this in Tickle Me but it is supposed to be a legitimate news story...

It's never toxic... it could have thiourea in it and it still would "completely non-toxic" and/or "safe", just like our water, our food, our medicines and everything else that's coated in metabolic poisons.

5 or 6 years back there was a red rain in the 'kerala' in india and later they found out that to contain some strange bacteria which is not of earth origin. With dimensional merger in line, these wierd patterns may be the order of the day.
