Port of Saint Petersburg invests in air quality monitoring

Sea Port of Saint-Petersburg JSC (SP SPb) has invested almost US$360,770 (RUB27.3 million) during the last year in the implementation of its environmental programme to increase the frequency of air quality measuring from monthly to daily.

Ecological monitoring implies analysis of air samples involving seven parameters and wastewater samples involving 20 parameters, according to a statement.

The port has also conducted regular monitoring of acoustic load at the border of the sanitary protection zone, and the findings, obtained by specialists of the accredited laboratories, confirmed compliance with the antipollution standards.

To protect the environment, the Russian port undertakes a range of measures on wastewater treatment, technical maintenance of ecological facilities, sustainable utilisation and disposal of industrial waste.

Furthermore, to ensure the environmental safety of loading and unloading operations, SP SPb expanded its fleet of environmental equipment with a new trailer-type cleaning machine.
