The cleanest city in Russia

Every two years, the state organization Rosstat produces a brochure "Key indicators of environmental protection." Among other information in it you can find a list of the cleanest cities in Russia . The rating is compiled on the basis of data on the number of pollutant emissions by industries and enterprises, as well as by cars and transport.

It should be mentioned that the data provided by Rosstat is based only on the study of large industrial cities. Therefore, this list does not include small towns, with an environmentally friendly atmosphere, but where there is virtually no industry. In addition, the rating of the cleanest cities in Russia is divided into three parts according to the classification of the size of cities by population.

List of the most environmentally friendly medium-sized cities in Russia (population 50-100 thousand people).

1. Sarapul (Udmurtia) is the leader among the cleanest middle cities in Russia.
2. Chapaevsk (Samara Region).
3. Mineral water (Stavropol Territory).
4. Balakhna (Nizhny Novgorod region).
5. Krasnokamsk (Perm Territory).
6. Gorno-Altaisk (the Republic of Altai). In addition, the administrative center of Gorno-Altaisk is the most environmentally friendly in Russia.
7. Glazov (Udmurtia).
8. Beloretsk (Bashkortostan). However, due to the fact that the city is building a new metallurgical plant, Beloretsk soon will probably leave the list of the most environmentally friendly cities in Russia.
9. Belorechensk (Krasnodar region).
10. Great Luke (Pskov region).

List of the most environmentally friendly large cities in Russia (population 100-250 thousand people).

1. Derbent (Dagestan) is the most environmentally friendly city not only among large cities, but also among medium-sized cities. The overall emissions are lower here than in Sarapul.
2. Kaspiysk (Dagestan).
3. Nazran (Ingushetia).
4. Novoshakhtinsk (the Rostov region).
5. Essentuki (Stavropol Territory).
6. Kislovodsk (Stavropol Territory).
7. October (Bashkortostan).
8. Arzamas (the Nizhny Novgorod region).
9. Obninsk (the Kaluga area).
10. Khasavyurt (Dagestan).

Speaking of which is the cleanest city in Russia, one should mention Pskov. Although he did not get on the list of clean middle-sized cities, Pskov takes the place of the most ecological regional center in the country.

List of the most environmentally friendly large cities in Russia (population 250 thousand-1 million people).

1. Taganrog (Rostov region).
2. Sochi (Krasnodar region) .
3. Grozny (Chechnya).

6. Petrozavodsk (Karelia).
7. Saransk (Mordovia).
8. Tambov (Tambov region).
9. Yoshkar-Ola (Mari El).
10. Vologda (Vologda region).

If we talk about cities with population over one million, then all of them should be looked for in the opposite ranking of cities with the lowest ecological level.

The rating of five Moscow cities with the best ecological situation looks as follows:

1. Reutov occupies the first line and is the most environmentally friendly city of the Moscow region.
2. Railway.
3. Chernogolovka.
