This special report focuses on Delhi’s plan to combat severe air pollution using cloud seeding, an initiative led by researchers from IIT Kanpur and announced by Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa. As experts say, ‘you can seed the clouds, but you can’t seed in clean air.’ The report examines the science behind this weather modification technique, where particles like silver iodide are dispersed into clouds to induce rain. It delves into the specifics of the Delhi experiment, which aims to wash away dangerous PM2.5 and PM10 pollutants. The efficacy and potential risks are weighed by looking at international examples from China, the UAE, and the US, where success has been varied. While considered generally safe in small doses, the health and environmental impacts of the chemicals used are also scrutinised, reinforcing the view that this is a temporary solution, not a cure for the root causes of pollution.
