The village Leonidovka that is 12 miles away from Penza is situated close to the chemical armory. Near it there is a lake Mokhovoe that has no living creatures in it. Several years ago armymen buried there overaged weapon – bombs with sulphur mustard and lewisite. Until recently this information was classified and many people swam in the lake each summer. In spring when the ice melts streams from the lake run to the main source of water for the citizens - Sursky reservoir.

Krasny Bor, situated just 18 miles away from Saint Petersburg, is also notorious for the amount of poisonous wastes buried there. This huge radioactive dump presents a serious danger for the citizens of the nearby towns.

Back to Chapaevk, Green Cross head said it’s improbable that the town will be liquidated. The place needs to be thoroughly cleaned, although this requires greater sums of money.

The president of Russian green Cross underlined that that environmental problems need to attract the attention of the society. All the problems concerning the health of the people need to be discussed and solved in all levels of the government.
