Environmental Rating of Cities of Russia
https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2015-3-34-39
Abstract
The first rating of the environmental state of all 1100 cities of Russia is based on the calculation of the integrated intensity index of the anthropogenic effect on the
environment including the contamination of atmosphere, water sources, solid waste, and thermal and radiation pollution. A comparative analysis of the degree, to
which the cities determine the environmental situation in their region, is performed. Main factors of variations in the anthropogenic effect in cities of various classes
of population are revealed. New procedures of the integrated evaluation of the anthropogenic effect in cities are developed based on indices comparable for all
territorial levels and calculated by actual contamination areas allowing for scales and effect intensity.
