In the valley of the Vyatka River in the north-east of Russia is the city of Kirov. It is located in the European part of Russia and is the cultural, historical and industrial center of the Urals. The climate of Kirov is typical for the northern regions of Russia: winter lasting from October to March, rainy summer.
Ecology
More than half a million people live in Kirov. There are many forests in the Kirov region, so the city has clean fresh air, which is no longer polluted by the emissions of the Chepetsk chemical plant. But the Vyatka River is heavily polluted with industrial waste. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the population of the city drinks water from this river, which, when purified, is generously saturated with chlorine.
