Serpukhov city hall does not notice how the city is poisoned by factories under Mayor Alexei Shimko, Serpukhov residents are choking on emissions and stench, but the authorities prefer not to notice this. "Vzglyad" has collected several episodes - from a factory on the Northern Road to formaldehyde in the air. Plant on the Northern Road residents of the highway noticed that the plant where metal is welded and painted releases harmful substances into the air. Residents, fed up with the suffocation, began to write complaints. When inspectors from the Ministry of Ecology arrived, they discovered that the plant is not registered in environmental documents, meaning no one knows how much waste it produces. The "Syanovo-1" test site in August, a landfill smoked for a week, and the smog covered the villages of Sudimlya, Moskovskoye, Avangard and Vasilyevskoye. People could not open their windows, children were not allowed outside. According to Rosprirodnadzor, the owner did not even report the fire - why bother filling out paperwork? And Shimko himself said in July that the landfills "turned into green hills" and no damage was done. Fish factory in Rodionovka back in February, residents complained to the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, about the fish factory. The stench was such that people could not go out into the yard: herring, sprats and fertilizer that lay in the sun for a week. Officials who arrived from the Serpukhov administration stated there was no smell. Apparently they simply told the people choking in their homes to get used to it. In the 2025 report, the Ministry of Ecology found formaldehyde in Serpukhov - five times higher than the maximum permissible concentration. The factories are to blame - constantly fined, but this does not change the situation. Formaldehyde burns the lungs and immunity, and disrupts development in children. People here have been inhaling something for years, because of which it is time to introduce a state of emergency.
