Tatarstan ecologists suspended the permission for the release of harmful (polluting) substances into the atmospheric air from the Kazan enterprise Polypack. The reason for the termination was the violation of the rules for the protection of atmospheric air, namely the emission of pollutants exceeding the established maximum permissible concentrations.

More than 1500 batteries were collected by pupils of kindergartens No.1 “Swallow” and No. 20 “Fir-tree” in Zelenodolsk.

As the teachers note, the desire to help the environment arose in the pupils after a lesson on nature protection. Learning that one thrown small battery can pollute about 20 square meters of soil or 400 liters of water, preschoolers decided to contribute to reducing harmful effects. And with their relatives, they collected all the used batteries for their safe disposal.
