Rostov-on-Don has revealed violations at Severstal regarding emissions of harmful substances Violations of the requirements of the sanitary legislation for atmospheric air quality were detected by Rostov-on-Don's office for the Vologda region during a planned inspection at PJSC Severstal, which was carried out from September 21 to October 19, 2026. In particular, excesses of benzopyrene, suspended particles "PM10" and "PM2.5" were established on the border of the sanitary protection zone of CherMK. "The factory was given orders to cancel identified violations of mandatory requirements; administrative measures will be taken against legal entities and officials," reads the information certificate on the results of the inspection, which is available to the Vologda region news agency. Thus, the official department confirmed the connection between exceeding the maximum allowed concentration for benzopyrene and the activity of Severstal PJSC, which the company had previously denied completely. Including a cynical announcement that even barbecue manufacturers could be guilty of exceeding the maximum allowed concentration of benzopyrene. Note that benzopyrene belongs to substances of the first and highest level of risk. It has the ability to accumulate in the body and is almost never removed from it. Even at low concentrations, benzopyrene poses a serious health hazard. Also, based on the results of state monitoring of atmospheric air quality during the test period by Roshydromet, the following excesses were identified: for hydrogen sulfide (53 cases) - up to 3.1 maximum permissible concentrations, for carbon monoxide (3 cases) - up to 1.1 MPC, for phenol (2 cases) - up to 1.1 MPC, for carbon disulfide (2 cases) - up to 2.1 MPC, for dust "PM2.5" (6 cases) - up to 1.2 maximum allowed concentrations. We will remind you that earlier an inspection was carried out at the factory by Rosperirodendzor (from August 18 to September 4), the reason for this was a permanent deviation of the maximum permissible concentration of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere of Charpovats.
