Shout of despair of locals shed light on a heavy ecological situation in the city (VIDEO, FOTO)<"25>"

on September 12, SakhalinMedia. Inhabitants Nevelsk continue to live in clouds of the coal dust going from local port, but the open national protest in the city is almost impossible. People are frightened that excessive talkativeness and public activity can leave at least them without work, and even at all will lead to even more serious troubles. Units dare to speak about a problem only, but also those is on the terms of the most strict anonymity. The most concerned about dirty air it is parents of small children and the staff of child care educational institutions who are located in the epicenter of an ecological lawlessness, reports SakhalinMedia news agency.

in agency edition addressed Recently the teacher of one of child care facilities Nevelsk. She asked to sound on the condition of anonymity a problem of a coal dust in the city, and complained that in Nevelsk anybody publicly does not dare to speak about a situation. Because of not the most positive reputation of certain representatives of Company "Gornyak" and fear to lose work citizens prefer to keep mum. Though about that, as juvenile children, both young families, and old men round the clock breathe a poisonous coal dust, it is known to all.

"At us in close proximity to port where open transfer of coal is constantly conducted, located four child care facilities! We, teachers, see all this and we are the authorities shocked by inaction and behavior of coal miners. It very much excites us, it is impossible to leave so it, we want that us heard, but we are afraid to speak openly" — the townswoman Natalya Konstantinovna is indignant.

"I spoke recently as

at pedagogical conference and wanted, taking an opportunity, to sound a problem before large representative audience. But me besieged, told "it is not necessary, do not acquire to itself problems". So I can tell with confidence to you that any inhabitant personally and on public words will not tell Nevelsk "Miner". Everything is interconnected and, so to speak, "is tied".

Is sure by

that any deputy will not stand up for us. And we and our children – are poisoned! From this dust absolutely there is no place to get to. It gets everywhere, no windows help.

These children who are engaged in coal, in the city behave ugly. I think, many are silent not only because of risk to lose work.

Here also turns out that we choke and we keep mum. To anybody to us affairs are not present. Trucks on the city day and night go. By rules of transportation coal in a body has to be surely covered. But personally I any covered truck never saw, uniform!

Here so we also live here, in the city by the sea" — the teacher is distressed.

we Will remind

, about Neveslk's coal problem of the correspondent of SakhalinMedia news agency wrote not once. Recently heavy ecological situation in the city was described by "Ekovakhta Sakhalin's" head Lisitsin Dimitri.

"The former mayor Pak Vladimir supported inhabitants. All participants of hearings were categorically against constructions the new terminal. They perfectly saw how affairs with operating terminal are. It for them was the best basis not to believe all promises, that there will be no dust that it will be suppressed and so on. They saw that to them very long time ago promised all these methods to use, but they either are not applied, or do not work. Finally decided to postpone this question. construction slowed down. I so understood, this idea refused finally because it and remained unrealized that is correct. But that the same activity actually goes in port is wrong, that is in the downtown" — Lisitsyn Dimitri reported.

He noted that every year the volume of transfer of coal only increases in Nevelsky port, as well as rates of production of firm fuel on coal mine LLC "Gornyak-1". It is expected that with GRES-2 start by one of coal sources for station there is a section in Nevelsky rayon that will also significantly affect increase in volumes of development and export on career.

thus Lisitsin Dimitri emphasized that natural features and a relief Sakhalin Region, a condition of soil and existence of a set of valuable natural objects do the island to the extremely improper for large-scale coal mining.

"We have sharply isolated relief. Thus it small-scale. It not large mountains, and very small hills with deep raspadka, with very abrupt slopes. The second are an unstable soil. The top layers of soil on Sakhalin Region the very weak. The Sakhalin relief very young, layers of the top breeds — unstable. Any external geological processes under the influence of water, winds, erosion, gravity, can lead to landslides and mudflows. The third factor – important climate. At us within a year many precipitation drops out. Water cycle here the very active. The fourth factor – at us is all spawning rivers. These factors together do coal mining in comparison with the same Primorsky Territory Sakhalin Region. It is difficult technically, she creates threat for emergence of dangerous geological processes, that is destructions of rocks, growth of ravines and so on. Besides, negatively affects and the spawning rivers. Already there is an example of a technogenic mudflow which descended on a farm. And such processes will proceed. Especially in Nevelsky rayon, where especially difficult relief. The huge mass of overburden breed which dump in raspadka, podvodnyaetsya and becomes man-made mudflows or landslides. Depends on intensity of a precipitation and the steepness of slopes. It is dangerous. The rivers become soiled, the whole raspadka are withdrawn from a turn, habitats of fish are killed, the soil strongly collapses. Plus sea pollution. The weighed substances which are actively taken out from the raspadok which have been filled up with rock, cover a bottom in a coastal sea zone with a thin layer of silt. Than particles of which there is a silt are thinner, and the its layer is thicker, the ecological impact on all live is heavier that lives as at the bottom, and in the thickness of water. Because at each storm in a shallow coastal zone this silt passes again into a suspension. And dregs in water very negatively influence all water biota. Both dregs, and a thick layer from very melkodispersny silt" — Lisitsyn Dimitri about environmental risks . to

Not smaller danger both to people, and to other live organisms is presented also by coal transfer by open way. Especially, when such activity is conducted in several meters from houses and child care educational institutions.

the Coal dust, according to the ecologist, is dangerous as in itself, and as the conductor of harmful substances directly in a human body and animals.

"The coal dust is very harmful to

meaning that it is fine substance which gets to lungs. As any other dust even if chemically neutral, it negatively influences respiratory organs. It kills them, irritates. Thus the part of a dust is thinner, the more they adsorb on a surface different harmful substances. Thus the coal dust directly delivers harmful substances in respiratory organs of the person and animals.

Meanwhile While in Nevelsk fight against "wind coal mills" and literally lungs of citizens show off also, scientists once again report: any open terminal on transfer of firm fuel is not safe, what measures of dust suppression on it would not be applied. And as for the filters installed in Nevelsky port, they in the conditions of Far East weather already proved the inefficiency, reports SakhalinMedia news agency with reference to data Far East research, design and survey and design-technology institutes (DNIIMF).<"63>" navy to
