The introduction.

We are living in the century of the technological progress trying to open

all new and unknown, each day brings us new ideas, each month brings us

new technological solutions, people go strait in development new invents

and do not look back, do not stop, do not think of the act… All they

think about is making their life more convenient for them self. That is

why the have forgotten one of the most valuable things– the environment.

You see we are living in the symbiosis with nature and we strongly depend

on it. I will try to tell in my research work about its problems in my

native city Moscow.

It was founded in1147by Jury Dolgoruky. During its history it was roughly

all developed, and became more beautiful. Now it is one of the largest

cities in the world with the population more than 9’000’000 of people. It

is obvious, that in Moscow there are environmental problems as

radioactive pollution, toxic pollution, air pollution,… just like in

other cities. In my research work I shall try to meet you with the

ecology of Moscow. And I will also tell you my point of view on it.

All figures and data given in my work present as it was taken from the

official site of Moscow administration.

Pollution of Moscow environment.

1 Air pollution.

The main problem of Moscow is the pollution of air. Each year atmosphere

gets 1.8 million tons of harmful substances 90% from them is due to motor

transport, and it is very clean because in my native city 35% of

automobiles are more than 10 years old. There motors have fulfilled there

term. 94% of all machines are not equipped with special filters to

protect environment from harmful gases.

The number of automobiles in Moscow is growing from year to year, and

ecologists predict that in some years it will plunge in smoke. Whether

there is an exit from this situation?

The Moscow government has developed the new program. According to it in

Moscow new roads and high ways will be constricted. It should solve the

problem of transport circulation. On public transport there will be

filters putted. And we will come to euro-1 euro-2 standards. It is also

planned to develop the electric transport like monorail trains. In

November of 2000 year the program “Strategy of struggle against motor

transport emissions in Moscow” was accepted by Moscow government. But of

course the process will not pass quickly.

2 Condition of flora and fauna.

A major component of urban terrain is the green massive (parks, urban

forests and gardens), birds and animals inhabiting them. The greenery as

well as the environmental system, provide comfort of living conditions

for people in the city, adjusts to definite limits the gas composition of

air and the degree of its pollution, climatic characteristics of urban

territories, reduces the influence of noise factor and is a source of

aesthetic perception.

Urban forests.

In the territory of Moscow there are not less than 36 wood missives. The

largest woods massive of Moscow are Лосиный остров – in the city limits,

Узкое and Измайлово. In old part of the city, within the boundaries of

the Moscow Circular rail road, kept only two relevantly large woods

massive: Сокольники and Останкино. The condition of forests as a whole

can be described as loosened, that first of all determined by the site of

the city limits and, accordingly, level of techno genetic loads.

Kept within the Moscow boundary other natural components (moors and

rivers) are also in a bad condition, as well as forests they have

undergone definite changes as a result of effect of the complex of

anthropogenic factors and have lost those or divers qualities and

properties, characteristic for natural eco system. These natural

components more than woods are subjecting to threat to a full degradation

because of their unattended development.

The city of Moscow includes green plantations parks (urban specialized),

districts and children’s parks, squares and boulevard. The gardening of

the streets takes the special place in improvement of an ecological

condition of the city. The green plantations should execute one more

function protection of terrains of a housing estate against a transport

noise.

Fauna.

Since 1961 from a structure of a fauna of Moscow 23 kinds have vanished,

first of all, by availability in borders of the city large forests and

park of missives, bound with forests and parks by a protective belt.

Thermal pollution.

The analysis of thermal anomalies has shown, that the areas with positive

highly and medium contrast by thermal anomalies (temperature rise above

background more than 10єC) are connected to industrial objects and

intensive thermal outflow from underground of the water carrying

communications.

Out come of outflow of ardent water from underground water carryings of

the communications, in particular, is the change of a temperature

schedule of underground waters.

Condition of health of the Moscow citizen.

The ecological analyses have shown that 80% of illnesses have arisen in a

result of the bad ecological situation in Moscow. Now days in big cities

oncology death rate in age grade 40 years; maximum rating the rate of

mortality gains in an age-grade of 80-90 years, the oncology death rate

of men in age after 45 years exceeds death rate of the women in the same

group in 2 times.

The most unfavorable situation in the city on a children’s morbidity was

added up in central, Eastern, Northwest and Зеленоградском district. The

high level of illnesses of respiratory organs is also reiterated there.

Processing of waste products.

An important problem of a big city is the recycling of waste. Who enjoy

living in dump? This problem recently began to get huge values because

the development of his industry is accompanied by growth of industrial

wastes, and it is not possible to dump all waste products in one big

heap, that is why this problem has to be solved somehow.

For that in Moscow special factories were built. For example in 1998,

factories on processing dust was advanced 423’000 tons of waste products,

buried 980’000 tons of waste products. For processing waste we use

advanced technologies. The new factory in Чертаново and Котляково is

constructed, these factories can process on 40’000 tons per one year, the

factory in Рудникого is constructed, but the level of the processed waste

is still very low. For example in 1998 at factories it was advanced 6% of

waste products, 35%

were buried. Others sent to dumps of the Moscow area. In 1998 it was

liquidated 13’000 cases of illegal dumps of the Moscow area.

As for me I can see that more and more factories are built and we are not

going to sink in a heap of waste products.

How can a contradiction between the technological progress and ecology be

solved?

My survey research claimed that 100% of Moscow citizen want there streets

to be cleaned, but only 29.8% of them are ready to pay more taxes to deal

with the problem. Next problem is that every third person in the street

will through away different kind of liter just in the street for

different reasons. From that fact the conclusion is that we should not

only think of cleaned streets, we must work on saving them cleaned. That

is what we must teach our children if we are not going to live like pigs.

The next kind of pollution that we can easily feel on our self is the air

pollution.

It is not a new for any one that cars, which all we like, are the main

cause for it.

Some people say that we should better use bicycles, not to pollute the

environment; I advise them to live in caves with out electricity and

other technological conveniences, to protect the environment. But there

are much more useful ideas of saving our planet and there is one thing

which sums them up: - The main idea is that technology must help us to

protect the environment which has already suffered from it. From that

idea recycling factories were maid, different filters invented, people

even started to invent alternative kinds of fuel, which are nearly harm

less to the planet, and at least we think so at the moment. There are

even cars maid, which are working on new fuel elements, this is how we

have called these kind of fuel.

Surely we will not be able to use these cars tomorrow and even in the

next 10 years, that is why our government must continue working on

pollution problems in our country at real time, and we will have to come

to euro-3 standard. We must also use special filters in our cars and

other last developments in this area.

What do you think must be done to make the ecological situation of Moscow

better? That is the question which was told to people on line.

| |Total number of people voted : 7178 |

|::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: |To get the plants and factories out of the |

| |city- 2439 (36%) |

|::::::::::::::::::::::::: |There must be much more green plants in the |

| |city- 1788 (24%) |

|:::::::::::::::::::: |The traffic must be limited- 1463 (20%) |

|:::::::: |I do not know- 549 (7%) |

Big thanks to the RosBusinessConsulting by which the pool was maid it’s

site- www.rbcnews.com

I think that it shows that 80% of Moscow citizen are interested in making

our environment cleaner and that the main things they are interested is

the air pollution which was produced by the plants and factories out of

the city.

It shoes that people sees the problem, but as I have already sad they do

nothing to solve It, that is why there must be strict government control

on the pollution in big cities like Moscow, government must also think of

the recycling of the waste products, and of course much more strict

ecological laws must be maid. There must be even Special Forces made to

control the pollution in the streets and all these must be not on paper,

but in the air we breathe, water we drink, and in the streets we are all

walking through.
