Accident on the lake Nyos

in #nature7 years ago

On August 21, 1986 the lake Nyos became the murderer: there was an emission of enormous amount of carbon dioxide which in the form of fog has quickly extended on a hillside.

More than 1 700 people have as a result died, it is a lot of animals. Gas has spread to distance up to 27 km, having left no chance for nothing live.

Scientists have found out that I became the reason of emission or the gas which has accumulated at the bottom of Nyos or action of underwater volcanoes. Anyway since then on the lake carry regularly out works on decontamination, that is create small artificial emissions of gas in order to avoid one more accident.
