They are: the transport zone; among the parks - the territory of "Dynamo" adjacent to the main heavy traffic street of the town, and the thermal power plant in the industrial zone. The biological pollution in the atmosphere is evidenced by accumulation of pigmenting and spore-forming microorganisms, including conditionally pathogenic micromycetes, in the snow cover.
