Environmental imperative of the boreal zone in the development of the Krasnoyarsk territory

Currently, the country is taking obligations to comply with environmental standards during the transitional period of the formation of market relations in Russia. The article deals with the issues of the ecological imperative on the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The environmental situation in the region is characterized by the degree of negative impacts – mechanical, chemical and physical pollution. Features of the ecological situation in the region are determined by local natural conditions and the impact of industry, transport, utilities and agriculture on them. The “categorical index” of the environmental imperative is differentiated both for individual territories and for industries. It is determined by the geopolitical and natural-economic position of the region, the ecological capacity of the industry, as well as the method, type and recipient of the pollution or impact industry. It should be the most stringent in industries, in manufactures where the recipient of the impact is a person, and not so much in the production process but as in the life process. Compliance with the categorical imperative is possible only with the full restoration of the production potential of industries at a new organizational, technological and technical levels, as well as with the provision of environmental requirements of adjacent territories. The region has natural zones ranging from arctic deserts to forest-steppes and steppes with defined latitudinal and altitudinal zonality, each of which has its own characteristics of ecological development. At the same time, the Krasnoyarsk Territory is included in the list of territories with extremely dangerous soil pollution by technogenic metals, especially nickel and copper. Heavy metals are involved in biological processes, being part of many enzymes, and have a toxic effect on the human body.
