Introduction

In the modern world, problems associated with the protection of nature in their social significance have come to one of the first places, pushing aside even the danger of a nuclear war. The rapid development of economic activity has led to an intense, often destructive impact on the environment. The influence of man on nature occurs both through the transformation of natural systems that have developed over millennia, and as a result of pollution of soil, water, air. This sharply worsened the state of nature, often with irreversible consequences. The environmental crisis is a real threat; in practically every region we are witnessing the rapid development of crisis situations. This paper provides information on the state of the environment, as well as data on the costs of environmental protection. Many indicators are given for federal districts, republics, territories, regions, cities of federal significance, autonomous regions, autonomous regions of the Russian Federation.

Environmental protection in Russia

Environment - a set of components of the natural environment, natural and natural-anthropogenic objects, as well as anthropogenic objects.

The components of the natural environment are the earth, bowels, soils, surface and underground waters, atmospheric air, flora, fauna and other organisms, as well as the ozone layer of the atmosphere and near-earth space, which together provide favorable conditions for the existence of life on Earth.

Environmental pollution - the release of a substance and (or) energy into the environment, the properties, location or amount of which have a negative impact on the environment.

Pollutant - a substance or mixture of substances, the amount and (or) concentration of which exceeds the standards established for chemical substances, including radioactive, other substances and microorganisms and has a negative impact on the environment.

Environmental protection - activities of government bodies of the Russian Federation, government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local government bodies, public and other non-profit associations, legal entities and individuals, aimed at preserving and restoring the natural environment, rational use and reproduction of natural resources, preventing the negative impact of economic and other activities on the environment and elimination of its consequences.

Environmental protection costs - the total amount of expenditures of the state (budgets of the Russian Federation, constituent entities of the Russian Federation, municipalities), enterprises (organizations, institutions) having targeted or indirect environmental value, which includes both targeted capital investments, current costs for the maintenance and operation of environmental fixed assets, and operating budget expenditures for the maintenance of state structures, the main activity of which is related to environmental protection. The cost of nature protection may also include the costs of commercial, public and other organizations for scientific and technical, advertising, educational, educational and other services for environmental protection.

Current costs of environmental protection - all expenses for environmental protection and rational use of natural resources, carried out at the expense of the enterprise's own or borrowed funds, or from the state budget.

This includes the following costs: for the maintenance and operation of fixed assets for environmental protection; for measures to preserve and restore the quality of the natural environment, disturbed as a result of production activities; on measures to reduce the harmful effects of production activities on the environment; on the handling of production and consumption waste; to organize control over emissions (discharges), production and consumption waste into the environment and over the quality state of the components of the natural environment; for research work and work on environmental education of personnel.
