Inspectors of the Ministry of Ecology revealed violations at Krasnoyarsk enterprises during the National Medical Regulations

In Krasnoyarsk, employees of the Ministry of Ecology carried out inspections at enterprises during the regime of unfavorable weather conditions.

The Ministry of Ecology recalled that the NMU regime was in force in the city from 19:00 on December 8 to 07:00 on December 11. These days, the entire environmental control system – inspectors, mobile laboratory, Monitoring Center – worked in enhanced mode.

This time, the violators include two individuals – owners of industrial premises that are heated by boilers that are prohibited for use. They also face administrative liability, including large fines,” said First Deputy Minister of Ecology of the region Yulia Gumenyuk.
