Аssessment environmental condition of the city of Norilsk

assessment of the current environmental conditions is conducted for the urban district of Norilsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai in the Arctic zone of Russia. The peculiarity of the territory is the operation of the Norilsk industrial complex, which has a negative impact on considered territory. Identification of foci of littering of surface objects in Norilsk was conducted based on the methodology of complex assessment of the condition of the territory, where the dislocation of mechanical pollution was completed according to digital satellite image data. As the result of the study, the authors concluded that the total area of mechanical pollution in the Norilsk is not less than 193.88 ha. The level of pollution of environmental components can be characterized from “moderate” to “very high”. The authors stressed the necessity to eliminate the environmental harm resulting from the long and intensive activities.

Keywords: accumulated environmental damage, environmental impact, environmental pollution, littering, mechanical pollution, environmental sampling.
