Discharge of pollutants into water bodies with wastewater
Wastewater volume and the content of harmful impurities are presented here as a time series from 2000 to 2024. Series differ by indicator type: total discharge volume is measured in billion cubic meters, while the mass of sulfates and chlorides is in million tons. This data tracks changes in the amount of pollutants entering the country's water bodies over twenty-four years, based on official Rosstat data for the entire territory of Russia

How to read this table
Table rows separate indicators into total discharge volume and the mass of specific chemical compounds. Values can be compared within a single series to observe changes in a specific substance from 2000–2024, or between series to assess the pollution structure. As each indicator has its own unit of measurement, comparisons are based on the rates of decrease or increase in absolute values recorded in annual reports on the state of water bodies
