The city has a number of enterprises of chemical, engineering and coal industries, which have a negative impact on the environment. In recent years, emissions from factories and other stationary sources decreased.

At the same time, growth in the number of cars has led to an increase in the volume of air emissions from this source, but precise data on air pollution caused by transport is not available.
