CAIRO,

Feb. 20 (SEE)- Black snow covered some Russian cities in

Siberia which is famous for coal mining.

According to

the British newspaper "The Sun", the industrial town Kemerovo's

citizens expressed their fear for their children from this poisonous snow.

The citizens

thought that the coal mining mines in the area are the main reason for black

snow. According to "The Siberian Times" newspaper, many towns like

Procovivsk, Leninsky-Kuznetski, and Kieslowski are affected by pollution from

these mines.

The citizens alleged

that there is a permanent lack of protection in these cities.

Kemerovo

deputy governor Andre Banov said that not only coal mining mines are the reason

for pollution but also heater machines that work with coal, vehicle exhaust,

and coal burning plants.

The citizens

in Siberia mocked this issue at their accounts on social media. Here are some

of these tweets:

"Is that

the Shape of snow in hell?"

"The

government banned smoking in the public areas, but let us breathe the coal dust

and make it settle in our lungs."

"There

is beauty in the black snow."
