On the issue of air pollution in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

Abstract

This article presents the results of the study of problems of air pollution in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The study determines the factors and conditions affecting the state of local atmospheric air, provides a list of key pollutants detected in the air of the territory and their percentage established during environmental screening. The paper outlines the main issues associated with environmental screening of the state of atmospheric air in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, presents data of dynamic observations of air quality in large urban agglomerations of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, emission volumes, and other indicators of air purity. Moreover, the author draws considerable attention to the list of economic spheres of regional development that are responsible for the greatest anthropogenic impact on the atmospheric environment. The study also provides a list of specific enterprises and organizations that are responsible for the largest amount of atmospheric emissions in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The reasons for the growing anthropogenic influence on the state and quality of atmospheric air of the Krasnoyarsk Territory are determined: in particular, due to the local rich natural resources, water and forest resources, the extraction and processing of which is a priority component of the economy of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
