    Girls stand on hot-water pipes in Zapolyarny, a nickel-processing sister town of Nikel. Sulphur dioxide from the factory kills vegetation, pollutes ground water and causes asthma.

    Gases emitted from the nickel mining combine in the Russian Arctic town of Nikel kills almost all vegetation within 5 km radius. The combine, built in 1937 during Stalin's reign, emits five times more sulphur dioxide -- the cause of acid rain -- than the whole of Norway just seven kilometres away across the Russian border.
    In 2001, Norway gave Norilsk Nickel, the head company, 32 million euros to modernise the facility and cut pollution. The money disappeared, and the pollution carries on.
    The pollution is caused

    Sunken boats and abandoned houses lay rotting by an icy bay in Teriberka, a former prosperous fish-processing community.

    Today, Teriberka is again in the spot-light after the world's largest known natural gas reserve – the Shtokman gas field – was discovered off its shore. Multi-national companies, led by Gazprom, is rushing in to built the area into a landing base for the gas.

    Teriberka's population shrunk from about 14,000 at its height to just more than 1,000 today after the fishing industry collapsed, the town's administrative status was lowered and people moved south to seek work.
    Today, Teriberka is again in the spot-light with the construction of a base there for the landing of the gas pipeline from the world's largest known natural gas field.

    Dans nombre d'endroits de l'ancien empire soviétique, les enfants doivent payer le prix des péchés de leurs aînés. A Kiev la dermatite d'une petite fille n'est qu'un exemple de l'augmentation des affections allergiques dues à la dégradation de l'environnement.
