Snow looks pure… but it’s not. ❄️🚫 As it falls, snow collects pollution, dust, bacteria, and chemicals from the air. Once it hits the ground, it can absorb road salt, oil, antifreeze, and even animal waste — especially near sidewalks and streets. Try melting a bowl of “clean” snow indoors and you’ll often see the dirt and debris left behind. Bottom line: snow is not clean water, and it’s not something kids (or adults) should be eating. Stay safe this winter. VC: @doctortim.md #vivekcherianmd #d

Snow used to signal clean air and pure water. Now it’s showing us something else. It's not going to snow 100% plastic as some of the social media folks are promoting.
