Ataque a instalações de petróleo no Irã emitiu poluição equivalente à de um vulcão

Ataques aéreos israelenses contra instalações de petróleo em Teerã no dia 7 de março liberaram quase 30.000 toneladas de dióxido de enxofre, equiparando-se às emissões de uma pequena erupção vulcânica. A pluma se espalhou por 300.000 quilômetros quadrados, alcançando diversos países asiáticos.

Os ataques atingiram múltiplos depósitos de petróleo e uma refinaria, iniciando incêndios que arderam por dias. Chuva negra caiu sobre a capital, e os moradores sofreram irritação nos olhos e na pele, além de dificuldades respiratórias. Dados de satélite mostraram a pluma de dióxido de enxofre se deslocando sobre o Turcomenistão, Uzbequistão, Quirguistão, Cazaquistão e China.
