Russian scientist uses snails to monitor air pollution. It takes place in St. Peters burg, Russia. this process is being run by the St, Peters burg waterworks. They are using six giant African snails, they are about the six of a rat. they are using snails because they breath air like people, and the can put sensor registers on them with out them scratching them off. they set up three up taken in the air from the smoke stack and three taking in clean air and from there see how bad the air is for humans. Environmentalist in Russia say that the whole thing is just a publicity stunt. I myself think that using snails is not humane. i think they should not be able to use snails to test how polluted the air is. also i argue that they can measure how polluted the air is to humans with out using snails. that defiantly makes me think they are just doing this to cover up something else in their media. technology is so advance that they can detect all sort of small particles in the air. so the the snail experiment sound ridicules. I don't understand how they don't know what is in the air is around them. Also the smokestacks that come out they should already know how much waste of a certain chemical they are pumping out. that is outrageous that they have to do use snails to see how it effects people. when people around there breath the air. The whole situation is not connecting.
