Illegal Dumping Site of the Village of Gornaya Maevka
Coordinates: 42.715996, 74.737546 Illegal dumps of solid household waste (SHW) pose one of the main threats to the environment, especially in terms of soil and groundwater contamination. As these dumps are not properly managed, the waste stored in them undergoes uncontrolled decomposition, releasing toxic substances into the environment. As a result, both surface and deeper layers of soil, as well as aquifers, become contaminated, which can have long-term negative consequences for ecosystems
