E- Hi Loida, do you know how much harmful waste is produced in Moscow?

L- A significant amount of harmful gases are emitted by oil refining, chemical, and metallurgical enterprises. Peat bogs, which burn almost every summer, also pollute the air. Muscovites produce from 7.2 million tons of solid household waste per year, most of which is not recycled, but exported to landfills.Eliza, do you know which are the dirtiest districts in Moscow?

Е- The Southeastern and Southern districts are considered the dirtiest. Industrial zones here occupy more than 45% of the entire territory and include facilities such as incinerators, thermal power plants, oil refineries, metallurgical, nuclear, and chemical enterprises. There is a fairly high traffic congestion here.Loida, do you know where there are fewer transports in Moscow and which areas in Moscow are less crowded?

L- The Western District has the lowest density of people. This allows you to use less transport, which has a positive effect on the cleanliness of the air. In Moscow, only twenty districts received 0-2 indexes. They are characterized by vast territories of forest parks, the least congestion on highways, and a small number of industrial facilities that do not harm the environment. The top 5 districts included Strogino, Krylatskoye, Khoroshevo-Mnevniki, Sokolniki, Izmailovo.
