Mary and Kate present information on the ecological situation in Moscow City. They discuss how the quality of water resources and air pollution levels vary by location within the city, with the northwest areas generally having better quality than the center, east, and southeast. Motor vehicle emissions are identified as the primary source of air pollution. High pollution levels are also observed near industrial zones. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of individual environmental responsibility and actions citizens can take to help improve the city's ecology.

Moscow City»

2. Hey! Good day everyone!
We are Mary and Kate. We love the
English language and our city very
much. We think a lot about our
hometown ecology, that is why we want
touch the theme of our city ecological
problems. We believe that pure nature
remains one of the global topics
nowadays.

3. Ecological Situation in Moscow City
The ecological situation of Moscow
is influenced by western and
northwest winds of the city. The
quality of city water resources is
better in the northwest part of the
city, higher by the Moskva River
current. The preservation and
development of squares, parks
and trees in the yards, which were
injured in recent years from dot
building is the most important
factor of the city ecosystem
improvement.

4. Environmental monitoring in
Moscow is carried out by 39
automatic stationary stations.
They control the content of 22
polluting substances in the air
and its general level of
pollution. High level of
pollution of the air is noted
near large highways and
industrial zones; especially in
the center, in east and
southeast parts of the city.

5. The highest level of air pollution in
Moscow is observed in such areas as
Kapotnya, Kosino-Ukhtomsky and
Maryino — because of the Moscow Oil
Refinery Plant located within the city.
Krylatskoye, Kurkino, Mitino, Strogino
and Yasenevo are thought to be the
most environmentally friendly districts in
Moscow.

6. Motor transport gases are on the first
place among the sources of pollution
in Moscow.
Air thermal power plants, other
plants and factories, even
evaporations of the heated asphalt
also pollute the air.

7. About 5 million tons of wastes are annually
formed in Moscow. However the effective
system of collecting, transportation and
recycling garbage isn't developed.
Moscow underground is not the most
useful place for health in the city.
Chemical researches of the air taken from
the tube showed the excess of maximum
permissible concentration of nitrogen
dioxide, oxide and carbon dioxide.

8. The condition of today
green plantings of
Moscow leaves much
to be desired.
The landscape of such sites
has a characteristic
appearance: old trees are
against a grass no more
than 2-3 cm high. And
almost there is total absence
of vegetation of the
intermediate size.
Green plantings and the
woods of Moscow are
exposed to intensive
influences of technogenic and
anthropogenous loadings.

9. Every being must be environmentally friendly!

10. Northeast district today…
is one of the cleanest areas in Moscow.

11. The northern part
of the district is
cleaner than the
southern. There
are no industrial
zones which can
seriously
influence the
ecology of this
territory.

12. Every year we take part in cleaning program of
our city.
We sweep
the paths.
We plant
trees.

13. We did a couple of environmental posters.

14. Remember!
Clean city begins with your help!

15. Boney M.
Don't kill the world
Don't let her down.
Do not destroy basic ground.
Don't kill the world
Our means of life.
Lend ear to nature's cry.

16. Thank you for your attention!
See you soon!
