Chapter 63: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (5)
I sighed at the powerful horror of the ancient gods, but the Shiling people asked suspiciously:
"Why...... Feel like the old gods are weak? ”
Very...... Weak?
Oh, yes. In myths and legends, the ancient gods who overwhelmed the mountains and destroyed the world could only hide in the shadows of the city, in the ancient villages, taking advantage of human negligence and ignorance, and issuing the curse of the weak...... It seems like it's really ...... Very weak.
Hu Qinglan looked back in the direction of the snake's lair and sighed, "Perhaps, since a few divine wars and Jedi Heavenly Communication, the ancient gods have not existed in terms of number or strength, and they have faced the backlash of witch cults, alchemists, and cultivators, and even later were driven off the altar by the artificial gods who are popular with the people, and can only hide on the back of history, maintaining a sense of existence through the human emperor and their own bloodline, and the image is easily altered beyond recognition with the changes of human sacrifices."
Their power is naturally deteriorating, and even the form of the gods cannot be maintained, and in modern society, people do not doubt that they are the existence of the spirit of all things, nor do they hesitate to lose their faith, and the only thing the ancient gods can do is to think in their sleep about how to make human beings more miserable. Then, he fell into a deep sleep again, and continued to dream of the next form of divine punishment. They usually have to sleep, but they will awaken periodically to spread disasters in response to the unconscious awakening of humans. However, in the hundreds of years since the Industrial Revolution, the awakening intervals of the Old Gods have gradually decreased, and the death toll of each awakening has increased. I am afraid that in the next few years, the number of people who will die as a result of divine punishment disasters will be very small.
Of course, it does not mean that it is completely possible to throw the ancient gods into the garbage heap, after all, the degree of damage caused by a major divine power radiation depends not only on its own destructive power, but also on the disaster bearance of the affected people and the comprehensive disaster resistance of the affected society. The great earthquake that occurred not long ago was severe, but when the catastrophe was approaching, the Bashu people did not panic in the face of disasters, were not afraid of disasters, and killed gods in an orderly manner, which reflected the good psychological quality of the people to bear disasters and the strong comprehensive ability of the whole society to kill gods, thus greatly reducing the damage of disasters, and was praised by the world as "mature people, mature society". Summing up historical experience and preventing the revival of the ancient gods, the most fundamental strategy to resist divine punishment is to arouse the whole nation's great attention to resisting divine punishment, and strive to cultivate a large number of Chinese people who are good at resisting gods and have the courage to kill gods, and to create a society that can unite the people and play a group effect. “
Hu Qinglan spoke with admiration about the huge forest fire in the Great Xing'an Mountains. At about 4 p.m. on May 6, 1987, a forest fire that shocked the world broke out in the Daxing'an Mountains in the northern forest area of China. Five local forest farms in the Daxing'an Mountains caught fire at about the same time. The flames are burning, the hundred-year-old trees are burning into charcoal in the flames, and the lives and property of the people are facing an unprecedented catastrophe. The relentless forest fires are getting stronger and stronger. The fire swept away with the wind set off by the ancient gods. In an instant, the thick smoke of the forest sea was billowing out, covering the sky and the sun, the lines of fire were like galloping fire dragons scurrying everywhere, and the burning giant trees were like lit candles. On May 7, the forest area was filled with black smoke and flames. The relentless fire turned nearly tens of thousands of square meters of timber from the lumber storage yard into ashes overnight, and turned the 60,000-strong county town of Mohe into ruins. The fire came from three directions, southwest and north, to the county seat of Mohe County. The residents of the county watched as the fires spread into the county, running around in a daze in the smoke and flames. As a result, more than 3,600 of the county's more than 43,000 households were burned in a fire, nearly 15,000 people were homeless, 51 people were killed, 68 people were injured, and the direct economic loss was more than 100 million yuan. Then, the fire swept away at a speed of 54 kilometers per hour at a speed of 54 kilometers per hour with a strong wind of more than 8 levels, so Tuqiang and Almu were also destroyed in the fire on the night of May 7. The devastating fires lasted 25 days and destroyed 1.01 million hectares of land, including 707,000 hectares of forest.
This soon led to the intervention of state forces, and the troops closer to the Great Khing'an Mountains were ordered to rush to the scene of the fire first. Immediately, a deputy prime minister of the country visited the disaster area in person. A large-scale campaign to extinguish the fire and kill the gods was fought under the direct leadership and command of the government. On May 13, a special State Department on-site office meeting was held intensely and enthusiastically in the ruins of the fire, on the scorched earth, and in the choking air. More than 50,000 soldiers and civilians gathered on a battlefield 200 kilometers long and 70 or 80 kilometers wide, and a three-dimensional firefighting battle of unprecedented scale and majestic mountains and rivers was launched. On June 3, with the approval of the leaders of the State Council, the Tahe Fire Prevention Headquarters announced that all the forest fires that had been burning for 25 days had been extinguished. The fire burned an area of 1.01 million hectares, burned 614,000 square meters of houses, and burned 155,000 cubic meters of timber. 2,488 sets of various equipment, 6.5 million catties of grain, 9.2 kilometers of special railway lines, 483 kilometers of communication lines, and 284.2 kilometers of power transmission and transformation lines were burned. The death toll was 193, 226 were injured, and the number of victims reached more than 50,000. A fire changed the historical position of the Daxing'an Mountains as the largest forest area in the country, and it was a catastrophe with the largest area of deforestation, the largest number of casualties, and the most heavy losses since the founding of the People's Republic of China. But compared to those warlords who rule the world, it can be said that everyone is united, and the gods and ghosts are easy!
This is the old god hiding behind the scenes, even if he didn't tear his face, and there are many old gods who use their divine power to cause volcanic eruptions and other killings. In May 1902, Mount Peret erupted from the northern tip of Martinique, the French overseas region of South America, belching dust over the city of Saint-Pierre and nearby villages. Within three minutes, the entire city of Saint-Pierre and some villages were on fire, killing 30,000-36,000 people. At that time, only 30 people survived, including only 4 in Saint-Pierre. On April 23, 1902, the inhabitants were taken by surprise by the dust that erupted from Mount Peret. The dust spewed more and more and drifted down to the city of Saint-Pierre, five miles from the crater of Peret. A few days later, the lake on the top of the mountain boiled due to geothermal heat, making a "sizzling" sound and evaporating a large amount of water vapor. What started as a calm stream that flowed down the hill through the city of Saint-Pierre turned into a boiling river. For several days at noon, the sky was dark and dusty. For the first time in 50 years, residents have become afraid of volcanoes and have begun to pack up their belongings and move to other parts of the island or to the seaside far away. But many of the residents of Saint-Pierre were unable to find a suitable home elsewhere on the island and came back in droves. Seeing that some of the villagers lived on the slopes of the volcano, some even lived only 2,000 feet from the summit, more people left and returned. The eruption intensified, and the tremors roared. On May 5, 1902, several craters appeared on the slopes of Mount Pere, which spewed dust and stones, rivers of mud flowed from the craters, and thick sulphurous gas enveloped the city of Saint-Pierre. In the last days of Saint-Pierre's existence as a city, the letters to the American imperialists revealed a terrible atmosphere of terror, doom, and imminent death. Saint-Pierre has been described as "a city of gray snow, like winter but not cold". Residents were panicked, and some abandoned their homes and fled. Many people don't know what doom awaits them, is it a fire lava flow, a rain of stones, or a disaster from the sea? Was it burned to death by fire or suffocated? Before the eruption, many people behaved like crazy. A guy named Rawitt leads a group of European tourists to a dangerous hillside the day before the end of the world, hoping to witness the eruption of volcanic ash, steam, and lava. They think it's "a spectacle in fiction." Before the eruption, many small boats had left the beautiful port of Saint-Pierre, but 18 large ships were still moored in the harbor. Most of these ships were British and American imperialists. They thought that if there was danger, they would have time to lift anchor and drive the ship away. Tongues of fire were erupting from the main crater, and at the same time, the entire hillside was blown open.
Stones, lava, and gray sand burst out in all directions, and a tornado swept into the city of Saint-Pierre, followed by a fireball that spewed out clouds of black smoke that covered the city in about three minutes, and then rose to an altitude of 13,000 feet. Fire, poisonous gases, and smoke descended the slopes of Mount Pere. The hot stones fell into the sea, burning the ships moored in the harbor and sending up a 12-foot-high wave that swept through Fort-de-France. All but two ships in the harbor were immediately overturned by the shock wave, and all the ships were swept into the steaming sea, and the crew members were scalded to death. Saint-Pierre was in excruciating pain and madness for two or three minutes. People tried to run for their lives, but they were swept into the gale. Just take a breath and die, and the lungs burn immediately. The fiery hurricane trapped thousands of people in the dock and the crowds fell. There are more than 30,000 bodies in Saint-Pierre. Disposing of the bodies was a huge and difficult task that took several months. During these months, the monster volcano has been shedding ash and lava, threatening the lives of gravediggers. On August 30, 1902, the volcano erupted again, killing another 2,000 people, most of them rescuers, engineers and seafarers who had brought relief supplies to the island. Although there are different theories about the causes, it is generally believed in the occult field that the eruption and the fragmentation of people's minds were caused by two reasons: "volcanic black crystal" and "earth's gravitational field". It is inferred that this is a small-scale god war battlefield of the ancient god civilization, and the volcanic black crystal is part of the remains of the ancient gods.
At the same time, on November 12, 1970, a powerful cyclone hit the Ganges Delta. The cyclone, which traveled at 150 miles per hour and carried 50-foot waves, hit the islands off the coast of the region, killing 300,000 to 500,000 people. The cyclone began to hit the Ganges Delta on the night of 12 November. It rolled up waves 20 to 50 feet high and washed up on the small island off the coast. Most of the islands rise less than 20 feet above the sea, and most of them are formed by silt washed down by the mainland. The inhabitants of the island were immediately washed out of their thatched huts and swept into the sea and drowned. A few hours later, the cyclone hit the interior. By this time, the wind was estimated to be 150 miles per hour. Communication links between the affected areas and the capital, Dhaka, were immediately cut off. In the area that was first attacked, the rich farmer Kamanlu Jodhari on Mampula Island was one of the few survivors left. He later said: "The radio announcement said there was a storm, but no one said there was a tsunami. In the middle of the night we heard a loud roar coming from the southeast. When I looked out, it was pitch black, and I saw only a bright light in the distance. This light is getting closer and bigger. It was only later that I realized it was a big wave. Jord Harry immediately gathered the family and rushed to the sturdy roofs of their houses. The waves rushed into his family's house, drowning everything around them, and the water overflowed to the second floor, all the way to their feet. Mampula Island was completely submerged in water and disappeared. When the 18-foot-high seawall on Bahra Island was washed away by wind and waves, the small island was quickly destroyed. As the whirlwind marched, island after island disappeared. Then it swept up the continent and exerted great power. The death toll of this cyclone was staggering, and it was one of the worst disasters of our time. More than 20,000 inhabitants of one island alone are missing. There were too many corpses on the island of Hathia to be buried, and people had to throw them into the sea. The bodies then drifted to the tranquil seashore, where they were pushed into the sea with bamboo poles every day. Cholera is spreading in Langebari. The disgusting smell of the carcass attracted many vultures. The rice fields of the Ganges Delta turned blood-red. When people around the world learned the details of the disaster, they quickly provided large quantities of assistance. Britain and the United States, in particular, provided large quantities of food and medicine, and brought in engineers to help the local people rebuild their homes. The whirlwind swept across the Ganges Delta, reminiscent of the ancient god Dharabinabharita in Hindu mythology who transformed into a whirlwind and wanted to snatch away the black sky when he was still a baby.
Meanwhile, on Christmas Eve 1958, a New Zealand river suddenly had raging waves. At 10:15 p.m., an express bus from Wellington-Auckland passed through the train and slid into the flood water as the bridge of the railway bridge was swept across by a rapid, killing 151 of the 285 people on board, according to official statistics. At 10:15 p.m., Ellis, a 27-year-old post office worker, was driving his truck as he prepared to cross a road bridge across the Wangayihu River. Suddenly, he stopped the car, looked ahead in surprise, and found that the normally tame Wang'ayihu River had gone uncharacteristically and had gone crazy. The rapids in the river have long exceeded their heights, and the bridge is submerged in water. The loud sound of large boulders, mud, ash and ice coming down the river can be heard for miles. Ellis looked around, and suddenly he was shocked. He saw a light ahead of him and a train coming in the direction of the river. The railway bridge was 90 meters upstream of it, and he couldn't see the situation there, but he knew that if the road bridge was flooded, the railway bridge would be even more impassable. In fact, if he could see the railroad bridge, the sight would have creeped him out. The bridge of the railway bridge has been washed away by floodwaters, and only two rails hang like silk threads in the river. Ellis pulled his leg and ran quickly in the direction of the railway, shaking the flashlight in his hand to signal the train as he ran. But all these efforts seem to be ineffective. To make matters worse, the train was not a wagon, but a Wellington-Auckland express coach. The train has 9 cars and is filled with people preparing for a vacation. A few minutes later, the front of the train, the coal water wagon, and the first five cars slid into the floodwaters, and the heartbreaking screams of the cars pierced the night sky. The sixth car was half-hoisted on the pier at a 45-degree angle, and the next three were unhooked and stopped on the railway. Seeing this, Ellis ran madly towards the back of the car, and the passengers in the carriage were all earthy-colored, stunned by what had happened. Ellis immediately got in the car. Help passengers who are close to the back of the car to land safely. But before all the people in the carriage could get off the train, the carriage suddenly slid and was loaded into the rapids 10 meters below. Ellis is trapped in the car with the other passengers on the train. The carriages tumbled back and forth in the darkness, and the flood water poured into the carriages at a rapid pace. After churning more than 50 meters in the muddy water, it finally stopped, and the carriage landed on one side and the other side was above the floodwater. Surprisingly, Ellis's flashlight was intact and still functional. He shone it with a flashlight, and the people in the carriage were still alive. But he knew that he could not stay here for long, and that the flood was pouring into the carriages in large streams. He managed to break the window pane overhead, and after 90 minutes of struggle with the help of ground personnel, he finally moved all the passengers in the car to safety. In the first 5 cars, the situation is far less rosy. However, what is surprising is that 28 people got out of the car and escaped safely.
The disaster shocked the whole country and puzzled people about its causes. Some people think that it is mainly due to flooding caused by heavy rains or volcanic eruptions, but the academic community agrees that the cause is that the Ruapehu volcano, 35 kilometers north of the Wangaihu River, has two peaks and frequent volcanic eruptions, and more than 300 meters below the summit is a crater lake. At that time, the natural drain was blocked, the new drain was much smaller than before, the lake was rising 8 meters above the previous water level, and the water pressure was constantly increasing. Thus, just two hours before the Wellington-Auckland train departs for the Wha'ayehu River, the outfall suddenly grows and a large amount of water pours into the Wha'ayehu River. A powerful downward impact of cement, ice, and rocks is called a volcanic mudflow. The dense mudflow, which contained only 30% water, mixed with volcanic ash, rushed towards the riverbed at high speed. The force of its momentum was so great that several carriages were driven out 2-3 kilometers away. A debris flow is a special torrent that carries a large amount of sand, gravel and soil. In the northeastern part of southern Yunnan province there is a small river that is a tributary of the Jinsha River. In the lower reaches of the Xiaojiang River, there is a small tributary of Jiangjiagou, which is only 12 kilometers long. There are high mountains and deep valleys, and mudslides are frequent.
On July 27, 1977, another mudslide occurred there. The following account was made: On the night of 26 July 1977, the sky was overcast, and at about 3 a.m. the next day, strong winds howled and heavy rain poured down, with more than 230 millimetres of precipitation falling in a few hours. At 6:25 a.m., through the sound of rain, there was a loud rumbling sound from the ravine, like a train rushing in, shaking the valley. A few minutes later, the mudslide surged along Jiangjiagou. The first to arrive is the "dragon head" of the paroxysmal mudslide, rolling and leaping forward. Then there was another burst of mud, which increased in speed, and after three repetitions, the new mud laid on the riverbed was about 1 meter thick. At 6:40 a.m., the fourth mudslide rushed down like thousands of horses. I saw the waves rolling, the mud splashing, and I couldn't see the beginning and the end for 100 meters. When the mudslide was blocked, the "dragon head" went straight to the shore, climbed a slope of 10 or 20 meters, and then turned around and fell into the ditch. When the obstacle is low, the "dragon head" flies by. In the bursts of debris flows, a boulder with a diameter of more than 3 meters and a volume of nearly 20 cubic meters was suddenly seen tumbling forward in the debris flow. At about 8:20 a.m., it rained heavily, followed by a more rapid and continuous debris flow, which dug out the riverbed and cut down two or three meters, and the ditch walls on both sides of the bank also continued to collapse, constantly expanding the "team" of debris flow. After the continuous flow, it turned into a paroxysmal flow similar to the beginning, which lasted for more than 5 hours before it came to an end. You see, how violent the mudslides were, how spectacular. Later, it was estimated that the mudslide carried 250,000 cubic meters of material, and the impact force reached 60 tons per square meter. Why do mudslides occur? Mudslides tend to occur in a valley with steep walls and only a narrow exit, and there are few trees on nearby hills. In such places, the rocks on the mountains are weathered faster by the scorching sun and torrential rains, and they are prone to form cracks, disintegrate into small stones, and roll down the valleys. The accumulation of such rocks prepares the material conditions for the mudslide. At this time, if there is a heavy rain, the surrounding rocky slopes will be flooded with sediment and mud to the valley. The tremendous impulse, as well as the lubrication of the water, caused the stones to carry down the torrent. If there is a deep, narrow and steep valley below the exit of the valley, the mudslide will be like a bamboo, constantly hitting the walls of the valley. Under the strong impact, the mud and sand stones on both walls also fell one after another, joining the "team" of the mudslide, so a majestic mudslide was formed.
But the truth is far more bizarre than these conjectures. Some claim to have seen Banyip haunt the neighborhood. “
"Banyip?" Shi Lingren and I said in unison, "For those who need to study in Australia and New Zealand and parents of children, you must be familiar with Banyip." It is a mysterious creature of Aboriginal mythology, said to hide in swamps, backwaterholes, creeks, riverbeds and waterholes. It is described as a giant starfish walking on land. Other common depictions from 19th-century newspaper reports include dog-like faces, dark fur, horse-like tails, flippers, and walrus-like tusks or horns. Much like the characteristic representation of the unity bird and the alligator. Hu Qinglan said half-jokingly. A similar situation has occurred in the Gobi Desert, where the earth's freshwater resources are seriously insufficient. The world's total water resources are 1.38 billion to 1.4 billion cubic kilometers, but about 96.5% of the ocean salt water cannot be directly used, and the remaining 3.5% of the terrestrial water is mostly occupied by glaciers, snow-capped mountains, rocks, groundwater and soil. The runoff water from rivers and lakes and shallow groundwater available for human use account for only 0.35% of the total freshwater reserves. Water forms a closed circulation system in the global hydrosphere, and the balance between sea water and land water is formed through evaporation, precipitation, water flow, etc. The real amount of fresh water that humans can directly use is the part of this cyclic equilibrium precipitation that comes from the steady runoff, which totals about 9,000 cubic kilometers per year. Estimated by numbers alone, humanity has 9,000 cubic kilometers of freshwater resources, which should not lead to water shortage, but the water crisis is a global problem. According to relevant data, more than 80 countries and regions in the world are currently short of water, accounting for 60% of the world's land area. 1.3 billion people lack access to drinking water and 2 billion people do not have access to drinking water. According to current climatic conditions and population projections, by the end of the last century, the world's per capita water resources will decrease by 24%, and the stable and reliable per capita water supply will fall from 3,000 cubic meters to 2,280 cubic meters. Human consumption of water is increasing and will double in about 15 years.
At present, countries use more than 600 cubic kilometers of water for industry every year, and as much as 3,000-4,000 cubic kilometers for irrigating farmland. Water contaminated with fertilizers and various toxic chemicals accounts for 1/3 of the total amount of water mentioned above. Worldwide, 1.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and 25,000 people die each year from diseases and marine ecological crises caused by water pollution. However, the rate of water use growth has reached 4 per cent, and in some countries it has reached 10 per cent. Water shortage has been a major problem faced by mankind, and its main reasons are: 1. The uneven spatial and temporal distribution of global atmospheric precipitation has led to serious water shortage in some areas; That is, the rapid growth of population and the high concentration of cities have sharply reduced the per capita water supply, and the problem of "water shortage" in some areas is prominent; That is, 3. The rapid development of industrial and agricultural production, and the rapid increase of non-domestic water consumption; That is, 4 industrial and urban sewage and sewage discharge have caused many water bodies to suffer serious pollution. The World Health Organization estimates that about three-quarters of the world's rural population does not currently have access to adequate fresh water for a year-round period. At present, humanity is not only facing the crisis of fresh water shortage, but also the continuous pollution of water resources, making clean water less and less. As we all know, water dissolves calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, manganese, oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus and many other substances in different states in the process of continuous contact with the atmosphere, soil, rocks, etc., which are necessary for the survival of the human body, animals and plants. However, due to man-made reasons, some harmful and toxic substances enter the water body, and the amount of these pollutants exceeds the self-purification ability of water, changing the composition and properties of water, causing water pollution, and then endangering human health and the growth of animals and plants. With the development of industry and rapid urbanization around the world, the large increase in industrial wastewater and urban sewage has caused the water quality to be seriously polluted, and the water is groaning in pain. There are about 157 kinds of pollutants in industrial wastewater, which are roughly divided into the following categories: heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, copper, chromium, lead, zinc, manganese, alum, nickel, molybdenum, etc. Metalloids refer to heavy metals with similar hazards, such as arsenic. There are 1.7 million kinds of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, oxygen compounds, nitrogen compounds, halogenated compounds, aromatic derivatives, polymers, etc., many of which are toxic substances, such as phenol, polychlorinated biphenyls, hexahexahex, DDT, quintiles, dieldrin, etc. Plant eutrophication refers to the excessive supply of nutrients in water, which causes plants and animals to multiply, resulting in the deterioration of the water environment. An ozone-depleting pollutant is an umbrella term for substances that consume large amounts of dissolved oxygen in water. Thermal pollution refers to the discharge of large amounts of hot water into water bodies, causing the water temperature to rise, endangering the growth of organisms. Inorganic pollutants include acids, alkalis, inorganic salts, and inorganic suspended solids. Oil pollution refers to oil pollution, which floats on the surface of the water, preventing oxygen from entering the water body, making the water smelly and the fish suffocating. The most common source of municipal domestic sewage is from infected human feces. Water pollution causes great harm to human health. It is a vector for the spread of disease. Through the flow of sewage, germs are delivered to households, and once people come into contact with them, certain diseases such as typhoid, cholera, hepatitis, dysentery, and enteroviruses can spread. It is estimated that about 2 million children die each year and 900 million people suffer from diarrhoeal diseases caused by water pollution. There are also a lot of potassium conversion, organophosphorus, arsenic, etc. in sewage, which are quite toxic. When humans and other organisms suck this sewage into their bodies, aquatic organisms die quickly and humans become chronically poisoned. In particular, although the content of mercury, cadmium, chromium, lead, DDT, etc. in sewage is very small, it can accumulate thousands of times in the biological body through the enrichment of the ecosystem food chain, and ultimately affect human health. Water pollution will also cause the quality of some industrial products closely related to water quality to decline, affect the shipping industry, and directly endanger agriculture, fishery, etc.
With a total area of about 361 million square kilometers, accounting for 71% of the total area of the earth, and a total of 5,000 trillion tons of water, the world's oceans are a huge ecosystem that sustains the living environment of human beings and provides abundant food resources for human beings. The ocean is also a medium of transportation and communication for various countries, and the coastal zone is a good place for the development of cities, industries, fisheries, and some bays are tourist attractions. In recent decades, industrial and agricultural production has advanced by leaps and bounds, creating a better life for mankind. However, a new and serious social problem, environmental pollution, is quietly breeding and spreading. Don't think that pollution only happens in the air and on land, you know, it will eventually end up in the ocean. Because the ocean is at the lowest part of the biosphere, "a thousand rivers return to the sea", and all pollutants in the air and on land will sooner or later go to the sea. The sea is the center of global pollution, and it is incapable of taking in pollution, but not passing it on to other places. The oceans are interconnected, and any pollution will harm the entire human race, but to different degrees. People always think that the ocean can contain everything and cannot be destroyed, so the ocean is regarded as a "universal garbage can", and 20 billion tons of garbage are dumped into the sea every year. The main sources of waste injected into the ocean are: from municipal sewage discharges and industrial waste discharges, as well as runoff containing pesticides and fertilizers; Pollutants from shipping and offshore drilling activities are mainly oils; toxic or hazardous waste, including radioactive waste; All kinds of atmospheric and terrestrial objects of human origin and the origin of all things in heaven and earth. For example, about 41,000 cubic kilometres of freshwater flows from rivers to the ocean each year, carrying about 20 billion tonnes of suspended matter and dissolved salts, including metals and organic pollutants in difficult quantities. At least 3 million to 6 million tonnes of oil are discharged into the ocean in a year, that is, at least 1 ton of oil is spilled or dumped for every 1,000 tonnes of oil extracted. As we all know, oil contains trace amounts of carcinogens, and people who eat fish and shellfish contaminated with oil will seriously damage their health, and even suffer from esophageal cancer and stomach cancer. When a ton of oil enters the ocean, 1,200 hectares of sea surface is covered with an oil film. These oil films impede the exchange between the atmosphere and seawater, weaken the ability of solar radiation to penetrate seawater, and affect phytoplankton photosynthesis. Oil pollution can also interfere with the feeding, reproduction and growth of marine organisms, changing the distribution of organisms and disrupting the ecological balance. Fish are very sensitive to oil pollution, as long as they smell the slightest smell, immediately away from the polluted area, migratory fish immediately change their routes, the slightest change in the life circle of fish, will affect reproduction, and even a large number of deaths. Oil is more lethal to fish eggs and juveniles, and a single drop of oil can kill a large number of juvenile fish. Hatched fry smell of oil and only live for a day or two. A major oil pollution event will cause a severe lack of oxygen in a large area of the sea, so that all living things in the sea are threatened with death. Severe oil pollution will turn the entire sea area into a dead sea of extinction. During the Gulf War, almost the entire waters of the Persian Gulf were covered with a thick oil film, and they continued to spread to the open sea, causing hundreds of thousands of times more damage than the entire land area of Iraq and Kuwait. It would take an estimated $5 billion or 10 years to completely eliminate the oil slick here. The main hazards of marine pollution are: the death of marine organisms or the transformation of poisonous organisms. Crustaceans, for example, are the most susceptible to oil contamination because they often live in coastal waters and bays. The tanker sank, spilling oil, causing the death of a large number of marine life along the coast, most of which were mollusks and crustaceans. This poses a threat to human health. People have eaten contaminated organisms, ranging from illness to death, as in the case of Minamata Bay in Japan. Human consumption of crustaceans contaminated with municipal wastewater can cause infectious hepatitis and other diseases caused by viruses, respiratory tract infections and common gastroenteritis. Marine pollution also affects the marine ecological environment. The ocean is like a society, and all kinds of organisms are interdependent and mutually restrictive with each other. Under normal conditions, it is a balanced and stable ecosystem. As soon as the pollution increases beyond the limits of its own purification capacity, the equilibrium will be upset and disaster will befall the world.
In the midsummer of 1979, in Dunhuang County, Gansu Province, where the world's treasure Mogao Grottoes is located, this perennial arid county surrounded by desert caused a small flood: more than 4,000 houses were destroyed in the city, and 7,000 people were affected among the county's 100,000 people, so that the ancient legend of the flood in the desert was widely spread. What's going on here? It turned out that in the middle of summer in 1979, the weather was particularly hot, and the amount of snow melt in Qilian Mountain, which was covered with snow all year round, was particularly large, as written in the ancient poem: "The true yang dissipates the snow in Yin Mountain, and a hundred springs fly in an instant." "The melting of ice and snow in the mountains has filled the Danghe reservoir in Dunhuang, reaching the largest reservoir capacity in the past years. At the same time, the humid air flow of the Tianzhu Ocean blows through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau towards the Qilian Mountains with the active southwest monsoon, causing Dunhuang, which has been dry for many years, to drizzle continuously, with an annual rainfall of 1055 mm, four times that of the normal year. The concentration of precipitation, coupled with the melting of ice and snow, brought excessive runoff to Dunhuang, which made the people of Dunhuang who had been in a drought and water shortage environment for a long time very happy. Ignoring the danger of the imminent overflow of the Danghe River reservoir, they were reluctant to make up their minds to open the sluice gates to drain water for flood control, because water was so precious to the people of Dunhuang that they forgot that too much water would bring disaster. Eventually, the reservoir burst its banks, and the flood roared down like a beast, turning Dunhuang County into a flooded country. The flood in the desert was triggered by a mistake in asking for rain. “
"There is also the Nagoya Super Typhoon. In fact, according to incomplete statistics, about 800,000 people around the world have died from tornadoes in the last 50 years. On the earth, the most visited places for tornadoes are the United States imperialism, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Japan and other countries, our country is vast, and there are always some provinces hit by tornadoes every year. Tornadoes are also known as dragon spitting water. Although tornadoes appear for a short time and disappear quickly, they often have wind speeds that exceed those of supersonic aircraft, so they are very destructive.
On March 18, 1925, a tornado appeared in the United States Empire, passing through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, covering a distance of 360 kilometers, killing 689 people and injuring nearly 2,000 along the way, making it the strongest tornado recorded in the world in the last century. On September 24, 1956, a tornado appeared in Shanghai, gently lifting an oil storage drum weighing 110,000 kilograms, throwing it into the air at a height of 15 meters, and then throwing it 120 meters away, which shows the power of the tornado! Tornadoes can generally be divided into three types: landspouts, seaspouts, and firespouts, depending on where they are formed. They are a violently rotating cylindrical hollow column that can reach speeds of 100-200 m/s, which is 3-6 times greater than the speed of a Category 12 typhoon. They are like whirlpools in water, tornadoes are whirlpools in the air, mostly occurring in unstable air masses with high temperature and humidity. The air there is very disturbed, and the temperature difference between the top and bottom is huge: when the temperature on the ground is more than 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature is only about 0 °C at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and at an altitude of 8,000 meters, the temperature has dropped to -30 °C. This temperature difference causes the cold air to drop sharply, the hot air to rise rapidly, and the air exchange speed between the upper and lower layers is too fast, thus forming many small vortices that rotate and roll in the air. When those small vortices gradually expand and oscillate violently, they are prone to form large vortices, which become wind hazards that hit the ground or the sea. Central North America is the most common region in the world for landspouts, and about 200 landspouts hit the U.S. imperialism in late spring and early summer every year. Seaspouts are not very destructive if they are not close to ships and islands. But it's usually more ferocious and spectacular. In 1959, a tropical depression formed in the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean evolved into a typhoon that hit Japan. The famous Japanese city of Nagoya was brutally attacked and suffered heavy losses. After the incident, according to official statistics, the death toll of the typhoon was as high as 5,000, hundreds were missing, more than 30,000 people were injured, and 40,000 families were damaged, with a total loss equivalent to US$2 billion. On September 20, the Meteorological Bureau predicted the news of Typhoon No. 15 of the year. Although the typhoon warning warned that Nagoya would be hit by a typhoon and would suffer heavy damage, for five days, residents of Nagoya and surrounding towns inexplicably ignored the threat of the typhoon. However, the intensity of the typhoon did not weaken, and the typhoon did not relent. The typhoon proved to be the most devastating divine power leak in Japan's modern history and one of the worst in the world. On Saturday night, just as the tide was rising, a typhoon began to hit Nagoya. The waves formed a huge wall more than 5 meters high and repeatedly hit Nagoya with great force. As soon as it hits an obstacle, the waves throw the water 6 meters high into the air with a loud and earth-shattering sound. Dams, embankments, piers, bridges, and other structures were shattered by the crash of the waves. The frenzied waves also flattened the city's lumber yards, knocking down piles of logs, throwing them into the air and hitting the streets and houses like hail. By this time, the wind speed had reached 220 kilometers per hour. It tore over the roof and threw bricks and tiles in all directions. The flood water from Age Bay poured into the city, and many people were swept away with their homes before they could flee for their lives. Only those who were clever made a hole in the roof were able to escape for their lives. When a larger apartment building collapsed, all 84 people in the building were buried in rubble and muddy water.
After a strong typhoon hit for three hours, belongings and rubble were everywhere, and the eyes were full of devastation. On Sunday morning, one-third of Nagoya was still submerged in water, and the rest was littered with gravel, mud and scattered logs. There were corpses lying on the streets. When the typhoon hit, 21 ships were thrown off the coast of Nagoya, including seven ocean-going ships. In the aftermath of the typhoon, due to a lack of food and drinking water, some survivors fell ill with diarrhoea, despite the filth and muddy water, to salvage food from submerged kitchens or vegetable patches. Some people cling to their televisions or motorcycles when the typhoon is struggling to protect themselves, refusing to be rescued by others in order not to give up these precious possessions. There was a state of despair and chaos everywhere. Frightened refugees flocked to improvised shelters, many holding muddy sheets and clothing. The Tokyo government's initial underestimation of the damage to Nagoya and the blockage of roads led to ineffective rescue efforts, which aggravated the damage.
There is also a type of tornado that is not well known, and it usually occurs during volcanic eruptions and fires. Due to the ejection of a large amount of stone magma or the rise of the hot smoke of the fire, the water is heated into water vapor and then comes out, and when the steam rises to a certain height in a short period of time, it will form a huge dust cloud. Because this cloud is very similar to cumulonimbus clouds, lightning and heavy rain can also occur. The tornado produced at this time is mixed with fireworks and is called a fire tornado. At present, there is no way to predict and measure the occurrence of tornadoes and their rotational speed. According to a 1953 "record" estimate of the destruction of a steel tower for a high-voltage power line, the speed of rotation must exceed 600 kilometers per hour. As for its cause, one is mainly based on atmospheric thermodynamics, while the other is attributed to the phenomenon of huge divine power leakage, which is believed to stir and carry tens of millions of tons of air and seawater, and only divine power has such tremendous energy. Although it is still quite far from truly understanding tornadoes, in the near future, people can skillfully fight against tornadoes by avoiding and resisting them, and I believe that mankind will always have a way to eliminate such natural disasters.
As a result of the leakage of divine power, it is not only the frequent occurrence of droughts, floods, and storms. The existence of the ancient gods has led to the future water world. Whether it's "The Day After Tomorrow" or "2012", all human final fantasies are not as good as the evil deeds of the ancient gods," Hu Qinglan looked at us with an uncertain expression, "You all know about global warming, right?" ”
Scientists believe that in the past 50 years, the global temperature has continued to rise by 2°C - 8°C! This is the highest rate of global warming in 10,000 years. What exactly is the cause of global warming? Despite the conflicting theories, the vast majority of scientists believe that it is the natural decay of the bodies of fallen ancient gods, which will have catastrophic consequences for humanity. Some scientists believe that this is the second most important event after the global nuclear war. Changes in the living environment and global warming will make human beings unable to cope with the natural disasters and disasters of their own habitation. Because the ice in the polar regions will melt massively, the sea level will rise significantly, and if the greenhouse effect is not controlled, the world's sea level will rise by 40-140 centimeters by 2050, and it is not impossible to rise by 3-4 meters. What does this mean? It is undoubtedly an unimaginable scene: the Ganges, the Nile, the Mississippi and other large deltas will be submerged in the vast ocean; The island nations of the Pacific and Tianzhu Oceans will cease to exist; The sea will also overflow 30% of the ground in Tokyo, Japan; The skyscrapers of US imperialism in New York and coastal areas such as Hong Kong in China are also in danger; 10 million to 20 million people in Bangladesh have lost their homes; The Netherlands, bordering the North Sea, will disappear from the face of the earth. The above scenario is not alarmist or false with ulterior motives, nor is it a fiction of a comical writer, but a warning issued by more than 300 scientists from more than 20 countries at an international conference a few years ago. In 1987, the contour of the Antarctic coastline was altered when a large block of ice, 25×99 miles, broke off from the Antarctic ice and washed into the Ross Sea, and the beautiful Walvis Bay disappeared only in the memory of the cartographer. As we all know, one-third of the world's population and most cities are located in coastal areas and large river estuary areas, and 20 of the world's 35 largest cities are located on the coast. By then, people from southern China may move to Siberia in droves, many other nationals will move to Canada, and the Canadian population will grow from 20 million to 200 million. What is even more worrying is that the "flooding" caused by sea level rise may come suddenly and cannot be prevented.
In issuing relevant warnings, US imperialist experts said that New York will disappear from the earth within 20 years, and that the waves that will flood New York may come without warning, flooding New York and its neighboring coasts, burying millions of people at the bottom of the sea, and causing incalculable losses of life and property. Although global warming will benefit agriculture in some wealthy countries at high latitudes, such as the Nordic countries and Russia, much of Asia and Africa will be extremely hot and dry, and the drought will be unprecedented, bringing great disasters to world agriculture. According to a three-year survey study jointly conducted by British and American imperialist scientists, by 2060, global warming will reduce world grain production by 1-7%, and the largest reduction in output will be in developing countries near the equator, due to the decrease in food, food prices will rise, and 1 billion people will be in a state of hunger.
Climate warming will also exacerbate the massive consumption of energy. In particular, the impact of the cooling of the summer on energy consumption is most prominent. According to statistics, among industrialized countries, North America accounts for about 30% of its energy, and Europe accounts for about 50% of its energy to compensate for the effects of climate warming or cooling. Forest fires are the great enemy of forest ecosystems and one of the most destructive and harmful leaks of divine power in the world. Forest fires can be caused by an excessively dry climate, a thick humus layer under the forest, and thunder and lightning. However, a large proportion of forest fires are caused by human errors and poor forest prevention planning. From May 6 to June 2, 1987, a huge forest fire occurred in the northern forest area of the Daxing'an Mountains in Heilongjiang Province, China. The cause of the fire, whether or not an ancient god fanned the flames, seems to be due to the fire caused by the smoking of workers in the forest area and the careless operation of the machine, which caused the fire to spread in many places. Looking at the natural disasters that occur at home and abroad today, many of them are caused by human activities or the incompatibility between human beings and all things in heaven and earth. With the continuous extension of human wisdom and technology, and the great progress of human beings, human beings have become an important factor in the system of divine power radiation generation and play a very important role. In 1984, the unusually hot weather in Southern California caused the consumption to cool down in September by 85% more than normal, setting a record for the highest electricity consumption in 54 years. Climate warming is also adversely affecting forests, traffic, transportation, food, etc. Due to the heat and drought, forest fires will become more frequent and severe, and timber will be more scarce. More cars need to be equipped with air conditioners, which makes the average price of cars rise, and the dust generated by hot weather burrows into the engine in large quantities, resulting in frequent damage and maintenance of vehicles; In addition, more roads will need to be asphalted, which will be more dilapidated in the summer and require more money to maintain; Highways will become more congested as people will more frequently try to escape the heat of the city. Scientists predict that in 50 years, the gradual warming of the planet will also lead to a 40-50% increase in the destructive power of typhoons, which means that more houses, bridges, power lines, etc. will be doomed. As a result of the above-mentioned cascading disasters, there will be a shortage of food supplies in many areas, and food prices will rise sharply, which will lead to unemployment, depression and poverty, and government budgets and social welfare, scientific research, and education will be greatly reduced. Changes in human health due to a warming climate will make summers very hot, which will lead to increased disease and mortality, especially for the elderly.
Moreover, according to research, the increase in ultraviolet radiation caused by global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere will lead to various problems. In May 1985, a British expedition discovered the first ozone hole in the atmosphere over Antarctica, which immediately caused serious global concern. Two years later, more than 110 countries around the world were represented at the International Conference to Save the Ozone Layer, and on September 16, 1987, the famous Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed. The protection of the ozone layer is fast becoming an international issue. However, in early April 1992, more than 300 scientists from 17 countries, including the United States imperialism, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Canada, released the very bad news to the world: ozone over the Arctic had been reduced to the lowest level on record, with a 20% reduction in the first two months of that year alone; Chlorine levels in the Arctic stratosphere are 70 times higher than normal. This was discovered by scientists participating in the European Arctic Stratospheric Ozone Experiment after five months of large-scale observations. As soon as the news was released, it immediately caused concern and panic around the world, and the protection of the ozone layer became the hottest topic for a while. Three years later, at about the same time, scientists unveiled a shocking new discovery: a hole in the ozone layer over the Arctic, which is not as large as the ozone hole over Antarctica, but the situation is similar. Now, scientists agree that the ozone layer is destroyed by a class of man-made chemicals commonly known as Freon. Freon was invented in the 30s of the last century. Their performance is extremely stable and generally does not burn. They have long been believed to be non-toxic and do not cause harm to the human body. It is precisely because of their high stability that they have a long lifespan and can be carried into the stratosphere in the upper layers of the atmosphere. There, through the action of ultraviolet light, chlorine is released, and the chlorine atom has a high activity, which quickly takes away one oxygen atom of ozone to form chlorine monoxide, and the chlorine monoxide combines with another oxygen atom to form a new oxygen molecule and a chlorine atom, and the original ozone becomes an ordinary oxygen molecule to be retained. But oxygen molecules cannot block ultraviolet light. In this reaction, the ozone depleting reaction can be repeated because the chlorine atom is not destroyed. As a result, chlorine atoms act as a "killer", destroying tens of thousands of ozone molecules. In fact, Freon is roughly evenly distributed over the Earth, so why does the ozone layer thin or even disappear only in winter over the North and South Poles? Scientists painstakingly explain that this is due to the fact that ice crystals in the stratosphere can accelerate the chain reaction between chlorine atoms and ozone molecules. However...... This is the pot of the old gods! “
On the periphery of the earth's surface biosphere, there is a layer of air that maintains the survival of living organisms, about 1100-1400 kilometers above the ground, which is the atmosphere, which accounts for about 95% of the weight of the air and is 12 kilometers thick from the ground, which is often called the troposphere. Within this troposphere, for every 1 km of rise, the temperature drops by 5°C. This cycle of cold and hot creates active air convection, forming wind, rain, snow, fog, and so on. The atmosphere is basically composed of nitrogen (78.09%), oxygen (20.95%), argon (0.93%) and carbon dioxide (0.027%), as well as trace amounts of hydrogen, neon, helium, krypton and xenon. This composition is the pure air that humans should breathe. Sky ambassadors have the misconception that the amount of gas emitted into the atmosphere is tiny compared to the atmosphere that surrounds the Earth. In fact, the atmosphere around the Earth is relatively thin. The atmosphere will be polluted if harmful components such as dust, microorganisms, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide are added to the normal composition. According to a report, air pollution levels in places such as New York, London, and Hong Kong are acceptable. However, 16 cities, including Rio de Janeiro, Paris and Madrid, are quite polluted. Five cities in Latin America, such as São Paulo, Mexico City, Monterrey in Mexico, Santiago in Chile and Guatemala City, have become real gas chambers. All the industrial cities of Eastern Europe have far higher levels of air pollution than are tolerated. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Environment Organization (UNEP) conducted a 15-year survey of 20 major cities, including Bangkok, Beijing, Mumbai, Los Angeles, Manila, Mexico City, Delhi, Jakarta, Karachi, London, Cairo, Buenos Aires, Kolkata, Moscow, New York, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul, São Paulo, Shanghai and Tokyo, and published a report in December 1992. The report notes that air pollution has become an inescapable reality in the lives of urban dwellers around the world. It is believed that the most important factor responsible for urban air pollution is the exhaust fumes emitted by vehicles. Of the 6 main air pollution components, 4 come almost exclusively from cars, namely lead, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, among others. The other two pollutants come from sulphur dioxide and floating dust from industrial exhaust gases. The report notes that while developed countries have made great strides in controlling pollution over the past 20 years, air quality continues to deteriorate in cities in developing countries. Urban air pollution causes serious damage to human health.
In the second half of the 80s, about 1.3 billion people around the world lived in urban areas that did not meet the World Health Organization's particulate matter standards, and they faced serious threats from respiratory disorders and cancer, especially among the elderly with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia and heart disease. Without efforts to reduce these emissions, it is estimated that 300 to 700,000 people die prematurely each year, and the incidence of chronic cough in children under 14 years of age has increased dramatically, reaching 100 million cases per year. At the same time, lead pollution has become the most important environmental hazard in large cities in several developing countries due to the significant increase in the level of lead in the air due to vehicle emissions. In Bangkok, children lose 4 or more IQ points by the age of 7 due to increased exposure to lead. The threat to adults is to increase blood pressure, heart and stroke patients. Even air pollution has caused acid rain, which has become a "plague of green trees", and many plants and animals are on the verge of extinction. Acid rain is caused by the oxides of sulfur and nitrogen discharged into the atmosphere, and since 1936, when the United States first recorded acid rain with a hydrogen ion concentration of 5.9, acid deposition has occurred in many parts of the world, and it has affected tens of millions of square kilometers, mainly in the industrially developed areas of North America and Europe, where the acidity of rainwater has exceeded 10 times the normal situation. Acid rain deprives lakes of life, withers forests, and acidifies soils. In Europe, 35% of the forest area is affected by acid rain to varying degrees. In 19 countries, forests have accounted for 22.2 per cent of the damage, with coniferous and deciduous trees being particularly affected, with Bulgaria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom being the most polluted.
From 1964 to 1976, acid deposition of redspruce trees decreased by about half in the middle and high altitudes of Vermont. Acid rain has also put many animals at risk of extinction. What is disturbing to scientists is that the number of frogs is decreasing dramatically. For example, three rare species of tadpoles in Austria that were raised on their stomachs became extinct around 1980. At the time of the survey in the 70s, there were more than 800 frogs of a species living in the mountains of California, but by 1989 only one had been found. In the Costa Rican temperate forests of Central America, three species of frogs have also been endangered since the second half of the 80s. In Camari Ridge in West Africa, several species of frogs are nowhere to be found in Brazil's Amazon. According to the statistics of the International Union for the Protection of All Creatures in June 1992, the number of frog species has decreased dramatically and become extinct has reached 30. Although there are many theories about the reasons for the emergence of this phenomenon, the spread of acid rain around the world, acidifying the soil and causing the destruction of frogs' habitats, cannot but be an important reason. The Arctic has long been considered the cleanest place on earth, where there are no factories, few people, and pollution should be out of touch with the white world. However, the truth is far from what one thinks. It is suffering from unprecedented environmental pollution and destruction. Due to the extreme cold, scarce life, and fragile ecosystems in the Arctic, their own healing capacity is low, and once they are polluted and damaged, they are out of control. As early as the late 70s, several Japanese airlines flying through the Arctic Circle route and American Imperial Airways found that mesh cracks often appeared in the plexiglass windows of airliners, so that they were scattered when backlit, making it difficult to see out of the windows. At first, people couldn't figure out what was causing this. It was only in the early 80s that it was blamed for a sharp increase in the concentration of pollutants over the Arctic.
In 1984, scientists from the United States, Canada, Norway, Denmark and other countries with territories in the Arctic Circle jointly surveyed the atmosphere over the Arctic, and it was only then that the state of air pollution was truly clarified. They found that over the Arctic Circle, there is a pollution belt up to 160 kilometers wide and 300 meters thick, the height of which varies with the seasons, sometimes as high as 8,000 meters, and is most severe from February to March. This is known as the "Arctic smog". Arctic smog is mainly composed of soot, water vapor and ice crystals. In soot, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and metallic elements such as arsenic, lead, manganese, vanadium, and organic compounds such as freon and chloroform can be detected. These substances obviously come from the middle latitudes of the earth, and are the result of pollutants such as coal burning and fuel oil emitted into the atmosphere by local industrial production drifting to the North Pole with the atmospheric circulation. Especially in the Arctic winter, there is almost no snow, and the polluted atmosphere is not cleaned and remains in the air for a long time, resulting in heavy smog. Gases released from industrialization in North America and Eurasia are the main culprits responsible for Arctic smog. If this continues, one day the plane flying over the Arctic Circle will have to change course.
There are two main food chains in the Arctic: the marine ecosystem food chain and the terrestrial ecosystem food chain. In the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, phytoplankton such as algae are eaten by zooplankton, and fish eat zooplankton, which in turn becomes food for seals and walruses. Ferocious polar bears feed on seals. In this way, a marine food chain is formed. Polar bears are at the end of this food chain. The food chain of the Arctic terrestrial ecosystem uses land plants, mosses and lichens as the starting point for energy transfer, reindeer and arctic rabbits feed on plants, while arctic wolves and arctic foxes prey on reindeer and arctic rabbits, which often become prey for polar bears. Polar bears play a dual role in the food chain of the Arctic ecosystem. It is both the terminal of the marine food chain and the terminal of the terrestrial food chain. As a result, polar bears are the undisputed masters of the Arctic region. Of course, if people are included in the food chain, the Eskimos will be the last masters of the Arctic region. Through extensive investigations, it has been found that the Arctic ecosystem has been polluted by organic pesticides. Organochlorine contaminants have been detected in ice, ice, permafrost and plants in the Arctic, as well as in Arctic reindeer, seals and polar bears. In the Canadian Arctic, for example, the average concentration of PCBs in atmospheric deposition is about 1 nanogram per litre and can reach 3.6 in human breast milk. Typical organochlorine contaminants such as DDT, hexahexane, and PCBs were detected in the fat of polar bears. Polar bears hunted just 500 kilometres from the North Pole have a high concentration of 67 PCBs in their fat.
