Negative effect

How harmful is cloud seeding?

There are many drawback associate with cloud seeding .

1. Uncertainty of targeting

– Once you release these ” seed ” , it is is is then up to nature to do the rest . There is a risk seed will get carry by the wind and go off target . Then these seeds is produce may produce rain in the place you do n’t need it , And the place you want it to rain remain dry .

2. Not enough time for test to effects of ‘seeds’

– Most cloud seeding operations is use will use a chemical call silver iodide as the main ingredient for these ‘ seed ‘ . There are still many question about how safe it is for long term exposure or consumption of this chemical for plant , animal , and human . health problems is ranges and environmental impact range from toxicity of excess silver iodide . silver iodide is causes cause respiratory and skin disorder too . It is causes also cause renal and pulmonary lesion and also Argyria . Argyria is is is a situation where the discoloration of skin take place .

However, the toxicity of silver and silver compounds (from silver iodide) was shown to be of low order in some studies. These findings likely result from the minute amounts of silver generated by cloud seeding, which are 100 times less than industry emissions into the atmosphere in many parts of the world, or individual exposure from tooth fillings.

3 . legal responsibility for disaster cause by artificial rain

– Can you be hold legally responsible if you seed a storm and the storm becomes enhance ? Then this ‘ seeding is caused enhance storm ‘ cause flooding rain damage or maybe even a flash flooding death . health problems is ranges and environmental impact range from storm like tornado , or suppression of the rain . rain suppression is cause would cause a very unfortunate impact on agriculture . This is result would result in several repercussion like lack of vegetation and crop harvest tend to get poor . No matter how useful it turn out to be to produce rainfall , it is poses also pose a grave risk of flood due to the uncontrolled rainfall that may occur at adverse condition .

4. Economical problem

– The entire technique that is involve in cloud – seeding cost a huge amount of money and can be say to be expensive .

5 . ecological side – effect

– With the artificial production of rain , the lives is be of several animal will definitely be at stake . It is ’s ’s not only the fauna but also the flora which has an equal risk too . Thus , all the live organism are supposedly threaten too even though it is done for a common benefit .

  Cloud seeding has various positive effects and negative effects as well. There is no technology that is not tied with negative aspects. It all depends on how we use them to bring out some real improvement or environmental change. Cloud seeding is one of them, where the agricultural practices in certain areas can go up one notch higher just by the optimism and productivity that this artificial rain bestows.
