As for the millionaires, they are in full force in the rating of the most ecologically polluted cities in Russia.
Once every two years, the Federal State Statistics Service( Rosstat) publishes the Bulletin "Key Environmental Indicators", which, inter alia, presents data on cities in Russia for emissions of air pollutants from stationary sources( ie enterprises) and road transport. The most complete bulletin for today is published on July 1, 2013, it presents data for 2012.Data for 2014 were published in 2015, but the focus in the study was made on the regions in general, and not on individual cities. The 2015 study presents data for 37 cities, which is much lower than in the 2013 study, which presents data for 181 cities, while the 2015 study does not contain data on automobile emissions. Therefore, in this ranking of the most environmentally friendly cities in Russia, the total amount of emissions used data from the bulletin of 2013, and not 2015. From the list of 2015, the rating used data only for Sevastopol.
It is worth noting that Rosstat publishes data not for all Russian cities, but only for developed industrial centers, so the environmentally friendly small towns, where there is virtually no industry, are not included in the Rosstat list.
As a rule, the larger the city, the more emissions there are. Therefore, the rating is divided into three categories according to the traditional Russian classification of cities by population: medium cities( from 50 to 100 thousand people), large cities( from 100 to 250 thousand people), large cities( from 250 to 1 million people.).In total, the list includes the 10 most environmentally friendly emissions from the average Russian cities, 20 large and 12 large.
