Eco presentation Ukraine 2012

1. Ecological problems
of Ukraine

2. Introduction
 Ukraine belongs to the countries with the high level
of negative ecological consequences of industrial
activity, in this connection the problem of guard of
environment and rational use of natural resources
has a primary value.
 The problem of guard of environment is predefined
by the historical and ecological factors of
development of economy.

3. Air pollution
 We were glad recently
to the new
achievements of
industrialization. Thick
black smoke above
plant pipes was
perceived as a symbol
of technical progress,
and the first chemical
and metallurgical
industrial giants were
gladly accepted. Other
point of view came in
25-30 last years. And
now factory smoke,
the harmful toxic
exhaust of products of
chemical industry
present a global
problem.

5.  Most sharply ecological
problems appeared in the
high-urbanized districts
with developed heavy
industry, where negative
influence of activity of man
on an environment became
considerable. Big part of
Ukraine belongs exactly to
such territories.

6.  Contamination of air by industrial enterprises is considerable, however it is a not only
factor.
 Air is contaminated by practically all types of modern transport. Almost all
constituents of exhaust-gass of cars are harmful for a human organism. One car
throws out in air according to 1000 kg of harmful substances per year. Air is
contaminated also by the dust of rubber from the wheels of cars and airplanes (one car
forms about 10 kg of rubber dust).
 In the industrially developed countries the basic source of contamination of
atmosphere is a motor transport the park of that grows continually. If in 1900 on a
planet about 6 thousand cars were counted, in 2009 there were more then 7 000 000 of
private cars only in Ukraine.

7. Water pollution
 The analysis of situation showed that the small rivers of Ukraine are
polluted more than large. It is explained by not only their small hydraulic
power but also insufficient guard.
 Annually to the reservoirs of Ukraine the 5 million tonns of industrial
wastes are dumped not counting wastes from stock-raising complexes.
Almost half of mineral fertilizers is flushed from the fields in the rivers.
The level of water treatment is extraordinarily subzero. Existent sewage
treatment plants even withdraw only 10- 40 % of inorganics and practically
does not withdraw salt of heavy metals. Degradation of the small rivers
inevitably will cause to degradation of large rivers, that is why a problem
their cleaning and making healthy is one of crucial for our young state.

9.  Providi
ng of
popula
tion
and
industr
y by
fresh
water
comes
from
about
73
thousa
nds
rivers.
 In a
calculat
ion on
one
habitan
t there
is 1000
м3 of
water
of local

10. Soil pollution
 Hasty methods of intensification of agriculture.
 Radionuclide.
 Service-utility wastes (sewage system).
 Geological works, when pollutants are oil, oil products, gas.
 Chemicals for defense of plants.
 Wastes of chemical industry.
 Dumps of garbage.
