  • Qualitative and Quantitative Identification of Pah in the Bottom Sediments of Moscow Urban Rivers
    D. Kramer & I. Tikhonova, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 10, No. 1 (2015) 76–86 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE IDENTIFICATION OF PAH IN THE BOTTOM SEDIMENTS OF MOSCOW URBAN RIVERS D. KRAMER & I. TIKHONOVA Faculty of Biotechnology and Industrial Ecology, Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, Russian Federation. ABSTRACT Qualitative and quantitative identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in bottom sediments of Moscow urban rivers with different levels of anthropogenic impact was made, the content of PAH was measured and a comparison between PAH content in Moscow urban rivers and other environmental objects was carried out. The results of our observation showed that bottom sediments of Moscow contain PAHs such as anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene and others with the composition of PAH being the same for dif- ferent rivers. Fluoranthene and benzo(b)fluoranthene have the highest concentrations and rivers Tarakanovka and Nischcenka are the most polluted rivers with the latest having PAH containment over 28 mg/kg in sample point no. 4. River Los is the cleanest river and has the same PAH concentrations as background territories have. Keywords: Moscow urban rivers, bottom sediments, PAH identification. 1 INTRODUCTION On Moscow urban territory, there are 141 small rivers and streams together with 430 ponds. The largest of them are rivers Yauza, Shodnya and Setun, which begin in Moscow region and are tributar- ies to Moscow River. The existing drainage system in the city is functionally used in the removal and treatment of surface runoff. Water bodies, partially deformed by technical means, together with the city’s drainage network form a single collector and river network.

  • Russian Specifics of Dacha Suburbanization Process: Case Study of the Moscow Region
    YOUNG RESEARCHERS DOI: 10.15838/esc/2015.6.42.15 UDC 635.1, LBC 65.32-511 © Rusanov A.V. Russian Specifics of Dacha Suburbanization Process: Case Study of the Moscow Region Aleksandr Valer’evich RUSANOV Lomonosov Moscow State University 1, building 46, academic building 3, Leninskie Gory, Moscow, GSP-1, 119991, Russian Federation [email protected] Abstract. Topical issues related to the planning of urban agglomerations development include registration and analysis of changes in suburban areas in the process of socio-economic development. It is manifest, among other things, in urbanization, which in relation to larger cities is replaced by suburbanization. Suburbanization process has been developing to the greatest extent in North America and Western Europe. Scientific research confirms that the majority of large urban agglomerations are in the stage of suburbanization. The pace of suburbanization in the world is different – the authorities of individual countries, regions or cities often take measures to limit or simplify it: they reconstruct central cities, set limits to the construction in peripheral areas, etc. In Russia, the process of suburbanization started to develop rapidly only after the socio-economic transformation of the 1990s that led to the emergence of the free market of housing and land. The aim of the present work is to determine the specifics of suburbanization in Russia on the example of the Moscow Region. Suburbanization in Russia is mainly seasonal; therefore, the paper examines suburbanization specific for Russia and related to the distribution of population and its economic activities in the organized summer house settlements in suburban areas, i.e.

  • Nutrient Dynamics Along the Moskva River Under Heavy Pollution and Limited Self- Purification Capacity
    E3S Web of Conferences 163, 05014 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202016305014 IV Vinogradov Conference Nutrient dynamics along the Moskva River under heavy pollution and limited self- purification capacity Maria Tereshina*, Oxana Erina, Dmitriy Sokolov, Lyudmila Efimova, and Nikolay Kasimov Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Geography, GSP-1, 1 Leninskiye Gory, 119991, Moscow, Russia Abstract. An extensive study conducted during the dry summer of 2019 provided a detailed picture of the nutrient content dynamics along the Moskva River. Water sampling at 38 locations on the main river and at 17 of its tributaries revealed a manifold increase in phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations as the river crosses the Moscow metropolitan area, which can be attributed to both direct discharge of poorly treated sewage and nonpoint urban pollution. Even at the Moskva River lower reaches, where the anthropogenic pressure on the river and its tributaries is less pronounced, the inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus content remains consistently high and exceeds the environmental guidelines by up to almost 10 times. This indicates increased vulnerability of the Moskva River ecosystem during periods of low flow, which can be a major factor of eutrophication in the entire Moskva-Oka-Volga system. Comparison of our data with some archive records shows no significant improve in the nutrient pollution of the river since the 1990s, which raises further concern about the effectiveness of water quality management in Moscow urban region. 1 Introduction Anthropogenic nutrient pollution has been considered one of the world’s major environmental problems for decades [1]. Excessive nutrient loading leads to eutrophication of lakes and streams, increasing the risk of harmful algal blooms, causing damage to aquatic ecosystems and impairing water treatment [2].

Within the modern bounds of the city other late evidence was discovered (the burial ground of the Fatyanovskaya culture, the site of the Iron Age settlement of the Dyakovo culture), on the territory of the Kremlin, Sparrow Hills, Setun River and Kuntsevskiy forest park, etc. The etymology of the name Moskva (originally Moskha, later when Slavic tribes conquered the city transform еd to Moscow because of the specificity of the Slavic languages ) is probably Uralic, perhaps Volga-Finnic (Mordvinic or Merya). In the 9th century, the Oka River was part of the Volga trade route, and the upper Volga watershed became an area of contact between the indigenous Uralic peoples such as the Merya and the expanding Volga Bulgars (particularly the second son of Khan Kubrat who expanded the borders of the Old Great Bulgaria), Germanic (Varangians) and Slavic peoples.
