Physico-chemical phenomena in the soil under the bottom of the lakes are not investigated. The main question of limnological catastrophes in the lake Nyos and Monoun-freeing(emission) of gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) has origin (started) in the lake’s water or in the soil under the lake’s bottom ? The official point of view - freeing(emission) of gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) has origin (started) in the lake’s water. By using of this point of view, justifies the work to degassing the lake’s water, and the project to strengthen the natural dam in Lake Nyos (Lake Nyos Dam Assessment, Cameron, September 2005, Joint UNEP / OCHA Environment Unit), and an estimation of the risk of catastrophic freeing of gas into the atmosphere from underground gas storage facilities.
