Air Pollution in Moscow
from:Air pollution in Moscow is an incredible problem effecting people from around the world. Moscow may have seemed like a distant, uncomplicated world in Europe's heartland, but the fact is this city has grown in its love for luxurious living and in turn has become a large problem for the environment. In some cases, the growth of Russia's capital has come at the fate of the air quality. The country may be just entering a large phase to improve the quality of life there, but unless significant changes are made in the way air pollution is produced, that increase in life quality will not be worth it. Air pollution in Moscow is a problem, and people are taking notice.
One of the largest causes of air pollution in Moscow is the simple explosion of cars on the streets of the city. Air pollution is directly related to the burning of fossil fuels including the fuels used to power those vehicles. The city has expanded in size in terms of the number of cars it has, with some 3 million cars on the road each day. The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to poor air quality and increased air pollution. That could be why, then, that a layer of smog blankets the city nearly every day of the year. The streets are stressful too; with traffic becoming an increasing problem itself. That traffic keeps people on the roads longer, increasing the amount of carbon monoxide pushed into the air by these vehicles.
The growth of air pollution in Moscow does come from other sources as well. For example, the city now has some 12 super large heat power stations for its people. In addition, there are 53 more smaller heating stations called district stations. Plus, the industrial age in Moscow is still full force with more than 3000 industrial factories and complexes producing huge amounts of air pollution each year. All of this is within Moscow's city borders.
There are limits and regulations in place in Russia and in Europe as a whole. The problem is, Moscow's current state pushes them to the maximum. Air pollution in Moscow is more than 10 to 20 times the limits allowable by law, depending on the day and time of year you visit. The concentration of harmful substances in the air that people breathe in each day continues to grow.
Air pollution in Moscow continues to be strikingly familiar to that which happened in many American cities. Unless there is significant change soon, the quality of air will continue to worsen.
