Ecology
Svetlogorsk is considered one of the most unfavorable cities in the Republic of Belarus in terms of environmental conditions. In 2017-2018, complaints from local residents about air quality became more frequent. Local residents associate the complication of the environmental situation with the construction of a new bleached sulphate pulp plant by Chinese companies 2 km from the city limits and 500 m from the village of Yakimova Sloboda. In 2012, townspeople collected 10 thousand signatures against the construction of this plant. The enterprise was put into operation at the end of 2021, after which local residents began to complain about an unpleasant odor, suffocation, nausea, sore throat, and vomiting. Local authorities and representatives of the plant confirmed the fact of emissions, but called them temporary and associated them with forced adjustment of equipment in the process of reaching design capacity. It was emphasized that no excess of the maximum permissible concentrations of pollutants was found in the air samples. According to calculations by the Belarusian Research Institute, in the residential area of the city the concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, formaldehyde should not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations, remaining at the level of 0.6-0.96 MAC (60%-96% of the permissible level). It is assumed that the strong smell of rotten cabbage that local residents felt was caused by mercaptans, the presence of which in the atmosphere had not previously been studied[5][6][7][8].
In January 2021, environmental activists revealed that the plant was discharging an unidentified liquid into the Berezina through storm drains, rather than through industrial sewerage and special treatment facilities[9].
In addition to the commissioning of the bleached sulphate pulp plant, the city is reconstructing the Svetlogorsk thermal power plant with the prospect of replacing expensive imported fuel with local peat, during the combustion of which ash is formed and falls on the ground[5].
Afterword
All these calculations are, of course, approximate and approximate. In a good way, I would buy an apartment in Svetlogorsk for the same 2,400,000 rubles, rent it out, find a job in Kaliningrad, and enter into shared-equity construction: now there are a lot of apartments for sale in new buildings in the suburbs of Kaliningrad for 850,000 rubles. In a year or two I would buy an apartment in Kaliningrad and then move permanently to Svetlogorsk. At the same time, already renting out Kaliningrad housing. Because life near the sea is, of course, great, but children grow up and they need entertainment, education, and career growth.
