Abstract

The article considers negative trends in demographic processes associated with the impact of the environment on the life and health of the Krasnoyarsk city population. Methodological features of the study of the research subject are discussed, as well as the elaboration of the problem within the framework of specific sciences is analyzed. To what extent does the habitat with an increased level of technogenic pollution affect the subjective attitudes of residents, their needs, opinions, plans, and decision-making regarding demographic aspects of life? The presented results of expert interviews with specialists in the field of environmental protection and public health were taken by the author in November 2020. They indicate a truly deplorable situation in one of the major industrialized cities of Russia, Krasnoyarsk. The main pollutants are supposed to be transport, the RUSAL aluminum plant, the private sector with coal-fired heating and three coal-fired power plants. The Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station has a negative impact as well. The experts point to the obvious insufficiency of studying the problem of the impact on the demographic indicators and behavior of citizens, which is associated with the lack of open information about the level of the Krasnoyarsk urban environment pollution and specialized research in this direction.
