Emissions of harmful substances into surface water sources and atmospheric air were reduced thanks to introducing new modern technologies and facilities.

In addition, 34 violation enforcement cameras were launched at the sites of uncontrolled dumping in 12 municipal districts and such cameras will be installed in all districts by the first quarter of 2015.
Another problem is inventory of unauthorized mining sites of minerals to be held in 2014.
Rustam Minnikhanov said Tatarstan ecologists have necessary up-to-date equipment to monitor environment and reveal violations in this field. According to him, another important moment is giving environmental education to children. In general, Minnikhanov highly appreciated the activity of Tatarstan Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and Tatarstan Department of Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Natural Resource Use.
