Rules for survival during a “black sky”.

The expression “black sky mode” is familiar to every Krasnoyarsk resident. What is happening at this time in the air over Krasnoyarsk and what should citizens do?

What is black sky mode?

The official name is “adverse meteorological conditions” (AMC). Due to the combination of two factors - calm weather and humidity - industrial emissions, car exhaust, dust and smoke accumulate in the city air. This usually lasts two to three days, sometimes longer.

The smog formed over Krasnoyarsk is often visible to the naked eye. This is the “black sky”. Although in fact these days it is not black, but gray-brown.

Why are they declaring a “black sky” regime?

To warn citizens about the danger and force factories to reduce air pollution. There are three degrees of danger of NMU, the most harmful is the third.

During the “black sky” regime, factories are required to reduce emissions:

At the first degree of danger NMU- on...

Before the long-awaited heat arrived, the “black sky” regime was introduced in Krasnoyarsk twice. Let us remind you that last summer the regime of unfavorable weather conditions was declared four times.

Smog over the city

On the afternoon of June 16, when the thermometer rose to 30 degrees, many felt that they could not breathe. “We woke up early in the morning from a suffocating smell,” says Irina, a resident of the Sovetsky district. “It was scary that just a little more and there wouldn’t be enough air at all.”

It is especially difficult to breathe near highways. The information posted on the Internet and the media by the Central Siberian UGMS sounded ominous: “From 20.00 on June 16 to 20.00 on June 18, a regime of adverse weather conditions (RNMC) was introduced in Krasnoyarsk. In this regard, enterprises are recommended to reduce their emissions.”

The situation repeated itself for the second time on the night of June 24-25: Krasnoyarsk residents complained of a strong chemical smell that they felt at 4 am. On June 25, authorities again announced...

In Krasnoyarsk, the “black sky” regime has been extended again. Unfavorable weather conditions for the dispersion of harmful impurities will continue from 19:00 on July 22 to 19:00 on Monday, July 25. This was reported by the Central Siberian UGMS.

The regime is being extended “to reduce the anthropogenic load.” Harmful impurities in the air are associated with increased concentrations of smoke in the atmosphere, meteorologists emphasized.

Let us remind you that the “black sky” regime was introduced for the first time this month on July 17. After that it was extended several times.

During the “black sky” period, residents are advised to minimize work that causes air pollution. Burning waste during the NMU regime is prohibited. Enterprises are recommended to strengthen control over compliance with emission standards.

Smoke in the atmosphere of Krasnoyarsk occurred due to forest fires burning in the north of the region. Smoke from the burning forest reached the western regions of Siberia: for example, residents of Tomsk and Kemerovo region They also complained about the smell of burning and strange...

Over the 9 months of 2015, the “black sky” regime was announced more often than in the entire last year. What is the reason? What do city dwellers have to breathe in, and where to turn if the smell on the streets becomes unbearable - the answers to these questions are in our new special project “Life by Inhalation”. Right now - about what “adverse weather conditions mode” is and what its benefits are.

Hydrogen sulfide, benzene, formaldehyde, ammonia... This is only a small fraction of the chemical diversity that exists in city air. The amount of harmful emissions per year exceeds 194 thousand tons. 180 kilograms for each Krasnoyarsk resident.

– These are the trajectories of displacement of air masses for the next two days, that is, in this way we determine whether the wind direction will be unfavorable in the next day.
- Will?
- No, it will not.

This sweet lady is the very person who makes the responsible decision - whether or not to introduce a “black sky” regime in Krasnoyarsk. By the way, the experts themselves...

In Krasnoyarsk, a regime of adverse weather conditions of the first degree of danger is introduced for the entire weekend from 19:00 on June 11 to 19:00 on June 14.

This means that the city will experience calm weather, and harmful impurities will be poorly dispersed in the air.

Let us remind you that under the first NMU regime, enterprises must ensure a reduction in the concentration of air pollutants by approximately 15–20%.

It is clarified that these measures are of an organizational and technical nature and do not lead to a decrease in the productivity of the enterprise.

Over the past week, exceeding the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of suspended substances, as well as poisons such as formaldehyde and hydrochloride, was recorded in the air.

On Monday, June 6, suspended substances were found in the air: in the Sverdlovsk region 1.4 times, in the Leninsky and Zheleznodorozhny regions 1.2 times higher than normal.

On the same day, hydrochloride was detected in the air of the Kirov region - 1.3 times higher than normal.

The gray shroud that has shrouded Krasnoyarsk, apparently, is not going to retreat. Meteorological conditions unfavorable for the dispersion of harmful impurities in the air (HMP) will last until 19.00 on January 15. And experts do not rule out that the “black sky” regime will have to be extended more than once.

We hope for snowfall

However, some improvements did occur.

If on January 11 the NMU was declared to be of the second degree of danger, then today it was changed to the first, which means that the citywide level of pollution has improved. Not much, but it has decreased,” explained Natalya Shlenskaya, head of the Central Siberian Department of Hydrometeorology and Migration. – This was facilitated by measures taken by industrial enterprises - they reduced the amount of emissions by 20-40%. And many citizens, as recommended, switched from personal cars to public transport.

By the way, weather forecasters give encouraging forecasts: light precipitation is expected tomorrow night, which may be able to “clean” the air a little.

Unfavorable weather conditions will continue in Krasnoyarsk throughout the week.

“Black sky” and an acrid smell of burning appeared in the city on the morning of July 17. The first degree NMU regime was planned to be lifted today, July 18, in the evening.

From 19:00 on July 18 to 19:00 on July 22, meteorological conditions remain in the territory of the regional center that are unfavorable for the dispersion of harmful impurities in atmospheric air associated with smoke pollution in the city of Krasnoyarsk. To reduce the anthropogenic load, the first-degree emergency conditions are being extended, the Central Siberian State Hydrometeorological Service reported.

As the Deputy Minister noted at an operational meeting with the governor natural resources and the ecology of the region, Dmitry Ekhanin, a mobile laboratory was working in the city all weekend, recording the localization and nature of emissions. This morning, ministry workers, together with the environmental prosecutor's office, went on a raid on enterprises that may have violated the emissions regime.

Smoke enveloping Russian cities, clearly visible from space - on satellite images. The Irkutsk region and Buryatia have been burning since spring. Now the hottest spots are Krasnoyarsk region, and Yamalo-Nenets District. Fires in the Perm region.

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the taiga burns for weeks. The data provided by the Greenpeace forest service is depressing: fires covered 1.1 million hectares. The main area of fires is in the Evenki forestry. Formally, most of the epicenters of fire spread are located in “control zones” that do not need to be extinguished: there are no populated areas, infrastructure facilities, etc. nearby. Moreover, these fires are not taken into account in official statistics: since there is “no need to extinguish” them, it means they don’t exist. According to one of the latest reports from Avialesookhrana, there are currently 107 forest fires across the country covering an area of 11,093 hectares. This is about a percent of what Greenpeace cites!

Whose data is closer to reality is evidenced by at least...

Soon New Year... Fabulous time. A time of miracles, hopes for the best... Time to start something new, turn another page. The time when the present meets the future. Every year we become not only more mature, but also wiser. At least I want to believe so.
When I was little, I often visited my grandmother in Novosibirsk in the summer. It also has its own Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. I remember the first time I saw a sign there traffic– “Bike path” (by the way, such signs have not yet caught my eye in Krasnoyarsk). So, besides this, there were signs everywhere: “Do not walk.” If you think about it, ecology is a very delicate thing. This is perhaps the only thing that can be said: it is better to do nothing than to do it. The best thing we can do to improve the environmental situation is to do nothing, that is, not to harm nature. Of course, I’m not talking about those cases when it is through a person’s fault that changes occur, and when he is forced to make them...

The “black sky” regime has been extended in Krasnoyarsk. According to the Central Siberian Department of Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, weather conditions unfavorable for the dispersion of harmful impurities in the air will remain in the regional center until Monday evening. The first emission reduction regime is being introduced at enterprises. Krasnoyarsk residents are advised to travel outside the city if possible, or limit their exposure to air, and also refuse to use personal transport.

Let us remind you that the “black sky” regime has been introduced for the fourth week in a row. Previously, NMU regimes were introduced at the end of October - from the 29th to the 30th, then the “black sky” regime lasted from November 5 to 7, and then from November 12 to 17. According to weather forecasters, frosty and windless conditions will remain in the regional center over the next week...

How not to ruin your health?

The expression “black sky mode” is familiar to every Krasnoyarsk resident. What is happening at this time in the air over Krasnoyarsk and what should citizens do?

What is black sky mode?

The smog formed over Krasnoyarsk is often visible to the naked eye. This is the “black sky”. Although in fact these days it is not black, but gray-brown.

Why are they declaring a “black sky” regime?

To warn citizens about the danger and force factories to reduce air pollution. There are three degrees of danger of NMU, the most harmful is the third.

During the “black sky” regime, factories are required to reduce emissions:

with the first degree of danger NMU - by 15-20%;
with the second - by 20-40%;
with the third - by 40-60%, and sometimes completely.

Authorities monitor emissions from 28 factories in Krasnoyarsk (six each in Sovetsky and Zheleznodorozhny districts, five in Central, four each in Sverdlovsk and Leninsky, three in Kirovsky). The semi-legal workshop smoldering on the outskirts of the city can easily continue to poison us.

What to do during the “black sky” regime?

In short, everyone should smoke, dust and stink less. Factories are required to reduce emissions. It is prohibited to light a fire. City services must wash sidewalks and roads. Citizens are asked to avoid using cars if possible.

“Black sky” is harmful to health: cardiovascular, pulmonary and other chronic diseases may appear or worsen. It is best to leave the city at this time.

At the first degree of danger NMU:

go outside less;
when you return home, take a shower;
rinse your nose and throat clean water or saline solution;
if you are suffering chronic diseases, take the necessary medications when going outside;
open windows less often, use air conditioners and air purifiers;
do wet cleaning daily;
Do not smoke or drink alcohol, this is an extra burden on the body.

For the second and third degree of danger NMU - the same as for the first, plus:

use petal-type respirators outdoors;
drink more fluids - milk, tea with milk, mineral water;
eat less salty, fatty and difficult-to-digest foods;
rinse your mouth with a 2% soda solution;
if there are signs of poisoning, take Activated carbon and consult a doctor immediately.

Good afternoon, dear reader! In our city, a “black sky” regime is declared with some regularity. There are 365 days in a year, 250 of which are “black sky” days! What kind of regime is this? This is when the threshold of pollutants in the air is exceeded, sometimes so much so that a very dense haze hangs over the city, it is visible to the naked eye and the air is saturated with technical gases and there is a stench. This is especially felt at night. Everyone knows the reason for this situation, but they can do nothing. There are no fewer cars, mini-enterprises and manufacturing giants are trying to do something, reduce emissions, under the control of the relevant authorities, but it’s not getting any better.

What should we, residents of a large metropolis, do?

go outside less;
when you return home, take a shower;
rinse your nose and throat with clean water or saline;
if you suffer from chronic diseases, take the necessary medications when going outside;
open windows less often, use air conditioners and air purifiers;
do wet cleaning daily;
do not smoke or abuse alcohol, this is an extra burden on the body.
use petal-type respirators outdoors;
drink more fluids - milk, tea with milk, mineral water;
eat less salty, fatty and difficult-to-digest foods;
rinse your mouth with a 2% soda solution;
If there are signs of poisoning, take activated charcoal and consult a doctor immediately.

The founder of our city, Andrei Dubensky, 380 years ago, was sent precisely to choose a place for the future fort. When the governor saw these stunning hills next to the river, he immediately realized that this was the very place where the fort should be located.

The place was not only stunningly beautiful, but had a good strategic location. Andrei Dubensky gave the name to these hills - Krasny Yar. As you already understood, it was from the name Krasny Yar that our city got its name. But he could not even imagine what it was a nice place will turn into an open gas chamber)))

I will not delve into the consequences of such living...

The smog formed over Krasnoyarsk is often visible to the naked eye. This is the “black sky”. Although in fact these days it is not black, but gray-brown.

Why are they declaring a “black sky” regime?

To warn citizens about the danger and force factories to reduce air pollution. There are three degrees of danger of NMU, the most harmful is the third.

During the “black sky” regime, factories are required to reduce emissions:

In the first degree of danger, NMU—by 15-20%;
. with the second - by 20-40%;
. with the third - by 40-60%, and sometimes completely.

What to do during the “black sky” regime?

“Black sky” is harmful to health: cardiovascular, pulmonary and other chronic diseases may appear or worsen. It is best to leave the city at this time.

At first degree of danger NMU:

go outside less;
when you return home, take a shower;
rinse your nose and throat with clean water or saline;
if you suffer from chronic diseases, take the necessary medications when going outside;
open windows less often, use conditioner s and air purifiers;
do wet cleaning daily;
Do not smoke or drink alcohol, this is an extra burden on the body.

At second and third degree of danger NMU- the same as with the first one, plus:

use petal-type respirators outdoors;
drink more fluids - milk, milk tea, mineral water;
eat less salty, fatty and difficult-to-digest foods;
rinse your mouth with a 2% soda solution;
If there are signs of poisoning, take activated charcoal and consult a doctor immediately.

When the threat of unfavorable events (NMU) looms over the residents of the city of Krasnoyarsk, a special situation is declared in the city. As a rule, it lasts until four days. The authorities are providing residents with standard recommendations for this period. Another, more common name for such a situation is " black sky". What kind of regime this is and how to behave in this case will be discussed in the article.

Factors causing special treatment

If both factors come together over an industrial city - calm weather and humidity, it means that all emissions from production will accumulate in the air. They will be joined by car exhaust along with dust and smoke. The authorities announce NMU or “black sky regime” - something else, more famous name unfavorable weather conditions over the city.

In such situations, the authorities give the population standard recommendations:

leave the city (if possible);
if it is not possible to travel, try not to go out;
Do not ventilate the premises;
Use saline solution to rinse your nose and throat.

As a rule, the “black sky mode” lasts up to four days. But there are special cases when announced NMUs have to be extended.

Most often, residents of Krasnoyarsk encounter this regime. When smog forms over a city, it can be seen with the naked eye. That is why the name “black sky” arose. Although its color is not black, but gray with brown tints.

Why are they declaring a black sky regime in the city?

Sometimes you can hear a surprising question: are NMUs really that dangerous for humans, maybe there’s no need to exaggerate? There are actually three degrees of air pollution, with the third being the most dangerous. But it cannot be said that in the first case nothing threatens people’s health. Based on this, the authorities are introducing a “black sky mode” to warn city residents about the danger. At the same time, they impose restrictions on factories, forcing them to reduce emissions into the air.

Restrictions

When NMUs are introduced, industrial enterprises are required to reduce environmental pollution:

1st degree of adverse weather conditions - from 15% to 20%;
2nd degree - from 20% to 40%;
3rd degree - from 40% to 60% (in special cases, generally up to 100%, i.e. completely).

When the black sky regime is declared, everyone must adhere to the rules. Otherwise, the goal will not be achieved and the unfavorable situation may drag on. However, no matter how much the authorities monitor the fulfillment of the conditions of the regime, there are those who ignore it, because they put making profits above people’s health, and their own too. Everyone should limit theirs, even ordinary citizens with their cars. A person must realize the importance of the position. By breaking the rules, he harms himself, first of all!

If a “black sky regime” is declared in Krasnoyarsk, executive authorities control emissions from 28 factories. Factories are required to reduce emissions. You can't start a fire. City utility companies are required to wash sidewalks and driveways. Citizens are advised to avoid traveling by car.

All residents must understand what the “black sky regime” declared in the city means and what the degree of NMU is. Above, the authorities gave recommendations to residents regarding the unfavorable period. We can add to these that in case of the second and third degree of danger, when going outside, it is better to wear respirators (petal). At this time, it is strongly recommended not to drink alcohol or smoke, as the load on the cardiovascular system is already very strong.

The danger posed by the “black sky regime”, health consequences

NMUs are very harmful to health. City residents may experience aggravation or manifestation of pulmonary, cardiovascular and other diseases, especially chronic ones. Of course, it is better to leave the city for this period. If you can’t leave, then you must follow all the recommendations. If you have chronic health problems, you need to visit a doctor, monitor your blood pressure and other indicators of the physiological state of the body. You cannot neglect your health so as not to develop serious problems, up to and including deaths. It is recommended to rinse your mouth with a 2% soda solution, and at the first signs of poisoning, take activated charcoal and immediately seek medical help.

Those people who have chronic diseases should not leave home without medications that can alleviate the condition if their health worsens. At the first dangerous symptoms you need to call a doctor. To ventilate the room, you should use air purifiers and air conditioners.

Drink fluids more often: mineral water, tea with milk, and milk itself. It is better to completely exclude salty, difficult-to-digest and fatty foods from your diet.

A set of measures and what does “black sky mode” mean (NMU)

Due to accumulation in the atmosphere harmful substances, smoke, various chemicals, various toxic fumes and burning above locality a regime of unfavorable weather conditions is introduced. An important point the introduction of such a regime is the fact that the accumulated smog does not dissipate. There is no wind outside. The concentration of harmful impurities reaches the limit.

If weather forecasters declared a “black sky regime”, this indicates the actual environmental disaster. Large industrial cities know about the NMU problem firsthand. For example, on April 24, 2017, a special environmental regulation was introduced in Krasnoyarsk (not for the first time) due to the “black sky.” The regime lasted until seven o'clock in the evening on April 26, 2017. The Krasnoyarsk Territory most often announces a similar situation, even more than once a year. In this region, this regime is announced most often. Moreover, in addition to working industrial enterprises grass is on fire in the city. It also happened that the city was in smoke for three weeks in a row.

Who is responsible for the sky above the city?

The main body vested with powers in the system of ecology and monitoring of the Krasnoyarsk region is the Central Siberian Department for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. This federal structure has the right and ability to monitor changes in weather conditions that contribute to the accumulation of pollutants in the atmosphere, and initiates the introduction of the NMU regime.

Under unfavorable atmospheric conditions, windless weather, and accumulated smog, it is difficult to breathe. Therefore, if the “black sky regime” is introduced in Krasnoyarsk, all enterprises are required to comply with working conditions at the appropriate level of danger. In addition to reducing emissions, they limit repair and dust-generating work, stop cleaning gas filters and unloading coal. These are mandatory measures when introducing a regime of the second and third degrees. In the first case, they are obliged to reduce emissions and limit work whenever possible.

Rating

Doctors know that as soon as the “black sky regime” was declared in Krasnoyarsk, the number of patients increased sharply. And even vice versa: if the number of requests to medical institutions increases rapidly, wait for the announcement of the NMU.

In the ranking of the all-Russian environmental organization, Krasnoyarsk is ranked 12th in terms of emissions into the atmosphere. The territory of an ecological disaster is what the city is called. No wonder! The city itself is home to the world's largest aluminum production plant. There are a large number of metallurgical enterprises here.

In addition, they are adjacent to a cement plant, three large thermal power plants and numerous boiler houses. The city's thermal power generation is entirely based on coal. Yes and transport system leaves much to be desired. In general, there is something to smoke and pollute the atmosphere. In summer, residents do not often open their windows. If you decide to ventilate, then in the apartment instead fresh air a pungent odor will immediately appear. Then it will be impossible to breathe at all! And this is not an exaggeration.

It happens that Krasnoyarsk residents move around the city in short bursts. Otherwise, they risk inhaling all sorts of nasty things and even getting poisoned. From the upper floors of the houses, the border between smog and relatively clear skies is clearly visible.

Petitions

IN Lately residents of Krasnoyarsk constantly make up various kinds environmental petitions, appeals to authorities. They even wrote to President Putin. This petition received 80,000 votes, and the authors received a response from the presidential administration with the assurance that they would look into the problem. But for now the question remains open. Of course, solving a problem of this magnitude is not at all easy. It is impossible to close all enterprises of such a large industrial center. And it is impossible to quickly re-equip factories - this is a huge amount of money.

Reality and statistics

Therefore, while smog is gathering over the city from impurities of phenol, benzopyrene, ethylbenzene, formaldehyde, suspended solids, dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Pollution standards are very high. Data on the amount of pollution are available in the relevant documents, but there is an opinion that even they are underestimated. In addition, not all emission sources are officially taken into account.

As a rule, statistics speak of large enterprises, but in the city there are many small boiler houses and mini-asphalt plants, the smoke from which is thick. In addition to these enterprises, there are a sufficient number of other small ones, but capable of polluting the atmosphere. It is unlikely that this is reflected anywhere.

Solution

Surprisingly, the authorities seem to be doing little and turning a blind eye to many things. Perhaps they have to do nothing? In any case, this smog is breathed in not only by ordinary citizens, but also by the city leadership. Is it really not interested in reconstructing treatment facilities? It is necessary to ring all the bells and change the system. This is irreparable harm to the environment and the population. Of course, we are talking about expensive innovative technologies, which, most likely, cannot be mastered at a rapid pace.

Although, in order for citizens to obtain information about the sources of pollution in the city and the general environmental situation, the regional Ministry of Nature has created a special website. It provides information about current state air in the atmosphere above the city.

The ministry can often be criticized for providing unnecessary information. The site administrators take all comments into account and work to improve the accessibility of the submitted material. When asked in search engines, the site appears in the first lines.

Moreover, if someone has identified a source of pollution, they can report it to hotline Ministries. She works around the clock.

Work to improve the ecology of the city of Krasnoyarsk is underway. It's just not obvious yet.

It is also interesting that not only enterprises are responsible, but also the citizens of the city. For example, if garbage is burned in yards, then such a person or group of people will be held accountable.

Of course, starting to fight any problem is difficult. But you can't stop! It is necessary to confidently, albeit in small steps, move forward to change the environmental situation. It’s just that sometimes it seems that the reaction from the authorities is zero. Most likely, this is a mistaken opinion, and they are probably working in the direction of ecology. Let's believe that common sense the people on whom the situation depends will prevail over the desire to receive excess profits at the expense of people’s health and, ultimately, the future generation. Let us believe in the victory of reason!
