Environmental situation in the central part of the Kola Peninsula

The environment of the central part of the Kola Peninsula has been influenced by large industrial complexes for many decades. The analysis of the nature of anthropogenic impacts and responses of nature to them is an important component of environmental protection, which is necessary for optimization of economic activities in the region. In this regard, the aim of our research was to monitor the geoecological situation in the central part of the Kola Peninsula and identify the key zones of pollution, as well as the main pollutants. The carried out research revealed zones of considerable pollution especially in the area of Monchegorsk where the copper-nickel metallurgic plant is situated. However, compared to the 30, 20, and 10-year-old testing results, it can be noted that there is a significantly lower impact of pollution as a result of the plant’s activities, which is due to its mod-ernization. In the area affected by the mining and chemical industry in the vicinity of the towns of Kirovsk and Apatity, contamination with aerotechnogenic pollutants can be traced. There is also an area contaminated with aerotechnogenic pollutants spread for further distances from the source of the pollution. At the same time the investigated plots are influenced not only by local industry, but also by anthropogenic sources located in other areas. As a result, there is a total impact of a whole group of different pollutants on ecosystems, which can be synergetic. Some areas currently do not experience a strong anthropogenic load and can act as background for subsequent environmental monitoring studies.
