Last week, ISIS militants set the Mishraq Sulpher plant on fire in Mosul – an Iraqi city at the centre of a bloody battle between ISIS and allied forces.
The resulting blaze saw huge quantities of toxic gasses thrown into the atmosphere which poisoned hundreds of civilians in the warzone city.
But now clouds of sulphur dioxide have moved across the continent and have reached the southeast of Turkey.
All along the southern coast of the country are numerous resorts popular with British and European holidaymakers.
“These raindrops will be loaded with acid, and will burn the plants in the region”Gokhan Abur, meteorologist
Those that have come into contact with the poisonous gasses have developed breathing difficulties and suffered nosebleeds.
The World Tribune newspaper reported: “Satellite images released by US space agency NASA found the sulphur dioxide clouds had reached much of central Iraq, including Baghdad, Tikrit, Kirkuk and Mosul as well as parts of Turkey’s southeast.”
Meteorology editor of Turkish broadcaster NTV, Gokhan Abur, also warned abut the danger of the acidic rain.
He said: “Winds will blow from the southeast bringing the toxic smoke along with rainclouds.
“The rain will increase humidity in the area, so when water merges with Sulphur dioxide and water vapour, it will form the acid known as sulphuric acid.
“These raindrops will be loaded with acid, and will burn the plants in the region.”
Mr Abur added the sulpher-filled clouds will remain in the air for seven days.
The burning of the Misraq sulphur plant is the latest in a long line of ISIS atrocities committed in Mosul in recent weeks.
Just days ago, the evil terror group electrocuted 22 civilians in a public square there.
There have also been reports of militants using civilians as human shields as they are pummelled by advancing military forces that are trying to reclaim the city.
