environmental problems in russia

Air pollution from heavy industry, emissions from coal-fired power plants, and transportation in big cities; industrial, urban and agricultural pollution in inland waters and sea coasts, deforestation, avalanche, soil contamination from inappropriate use  of agrochemicals, scattered areas with sometimes intense radioactive contamination, contamination of groundwater from toxic waste, considerable biodiversity is addressed by the country's Biodiversity Action Plan.


Although Russia has abundant mineral and energy wealth, this is not bad for Russia and the larger world. In particular, the extraction of oil and gas has enormous costs for the health of the soil and society. 

Drilling for wastewater, mud and accumulated sludge, the annual volume is estimated at 1.7 million tonnes of chemical reagent which contaminated 25 million cubic meters of topsoil.

Substantial geomechanical disturbances, contamination of soil and water, and the repeated increase in contaminated wastewater discharged into surface waterways, are serious problems that offset Russia's advantages from this industry. 

It is estimated that between 1991-1999 the volume of polluted wastewater from the Russian oil industry reached 200 million cubic meters.


The complete utilization of the co-extracted gas in oil extraction does not exceed 80% in Russia,it is estimated that every year 5-17 billion cubic meters of unused gas which is extracted with oil is burned in "gas torches", with 400,000 tonnes or more of hazardous substances released into the atmosphere each year,create multiple impacts from wasted resources and negative environmental effects.


560 million tonnes of methane are estimated to leak into the atmosphere each year from oil and gas extraction, excluding accidental bursts and pipeline damage.

141 019100 tonnes of hazardous waste generated in Russia in 2009.

Other valuable industries also have their costs, such as the release of large quantities of hazardous, toxic and radioactive materials by the coal industry. Also the Russian gold industry, with Russia being the only country for at least a century with high extraction of gold from placer deposits, and having 4000+ large deposits, is bound to create problems for the river system.


The associated pollution from using mass explosions in mining can also be a problem.

Overall, the wealth and abundant mineral wealth, bringing with it great benefits for the Russian economy & people, and the bigger world and everyone, but also some difficult problems to deal with.

handle agricultural waste

Agricultural runoff is waste produced from various farm activities , including livestock dung and other waste from farms , poultry and slaughterhouses ; Waste harvests ; Runoff of fertilizer from the field ; Pesticides that go into water, air or soil ; Salt and mud are flowing from the meaning of the fields .  How waste farming is treated :   1. Made compost fertilizer Agricultural waste , which can be used as a compost for straw and chaff of rice , weeds , stems and corncobs , all vegetation , banana stems and coir coir . 2. Made biogas Biogas isa gas produced by anaerobic or fermentation from organic materials such as human and animal waste or agricultural waste remains . It says anaerobic activity because the bacterial decomposition of organic materials occurs in airtight or without air or without oxygen . 3. Became a growing medium One form of agricultural waste that could be used as a growing crop of charcoal husks . The charcoal chaff is a chaff of rice straw that has been bur...

  Pengolahan Limbah Cair Pada Industri Dan Permasalahannya   Kegiatan  industri  dalam  menghasilkan  suatu  barang  dan  atau jasa  memberikan berbagai dampak positif dalam kegiatan perekonomian di Indonesia.   Namun dari setiap kegiatan produksi yang dilakukan oleh industri tentu menghasilkan dampak negatif juga yakni limbah sebagai hasil sampingan dari kegiatan industri tersebut.   Limbah yang disebut juga polutan adalah bagian yang tidak terlepaskan dari suatu industri, baik industri besar maupun industri kecil. Efek dari limbah yang dihasilkan itu tentu bisa mengganggu keseimbangan lingkungan. Salah satu limbah yang dihasilkan suatu industri dapat berupa limbah   cair.   Limbah cair merupakan sisa dari suatu usaha dan/atau kegiatan yang berwujud cair.   Limbah cair atau polutan yang dihasilkan oleh suatu industri harus diolah dengan baik agar tidak melewati batas baku mutu yang telah ditetapkan oleh pemerintah.   Pengolahan limbah cair ada...
