Moscow Deaths Double Amid Smog And Heath Wave

Russia is having massive, widespread wildfires due to a major heatwave, and the fires are producing toxic smog.

Deaths in Moscow have doubled to an average of 700 people a day as the Russian capital is engulfed by poisonous smog from wildfires and a sweltering heat wave, a top health official said Monday.

Moscow health chief Andrei Seltsovky blamed weeks of unprecedented heat and suffocating smog for the rise in mortality compared to the same time last year, Russian news agencies reported. He said city morgues were nearly overflowing, filled with 1,300 bodies, close to their capacity.

Acrid smog blanketed Moscow for a six straight day Monday, with concentrations of carbon monoxide and other poisonous substances two to three times higher than what is considered safe. Those airborne pollutants reached a record over the weekend – exceeding the safe limit by nearly seven times.

About 550 separate blazes were burning nationwide Monday, mainly across western Russia, including about 40 around Moscow, according to the Emergencies Ministry. Forest and peat bog fires have been triggered by the most intense heat wave in 130 years of record keeping.

To make matters worse, the fires are threatening a nuclear facility in Snezhinsk.

So, why is this smog so much more poisonous than normal smoke?

I think we should back up to where you don't know how to feel about this.

This. You can't really throw out a statement like that and not explain the idea behind your ambivalence.

Backpedal faster!  I hear banjos!

HS:

Countries such as the US, Britain, France and Germany, have advised their citizens against making any non-essential trips into areas hit by forest and peat bog fires.

Russia's chief medical officer Gennadi Onishtshenko blasted the official warnings as an "unfriendly gesture".

Very rude indeed.
