Environmental hazard to the population of the city and its surrounding areas is caused by the fact that the city is a "derivative" of Nirilsky Nikel complex - world's largest mining, and, simultaneously, metal plant. Norilsk plants produces 35% of the world's palladium, 25% platinum, 20% nickel and 20% rhodium, 10% cobalt (?n Russia, 96% nickel, 95% cobalt, 55% copper). Norilsk is one of the most polluting cities in the world. Around Noril'sk approximately 100 000 hectares of forest tundra burned or is doomed to extinction. According to some environmentalists Norilsk is a zone of ecological disaster. Emissions of carbon dioxide companies Norilsk make up 2% of the world's pollution.

Russland - Aufbruch Nord

Russland, Arktis, Nikel, die Gase, die das Nickelkombinat absondert, hängen über der Stadt und töten nahezu die gesamte Vegetation ab, die eh nur noch vorhanden ist. Das Kombinat, das 1937 unter Stalins Herrschaft gegründet wurde, stößt fünfmal mehr Schwefeldioxid aus, das Ursache für den sauren Regen ist, als ganz Norwegen. 2012. © 2013 Justin Jin / Agentur Focus.
