A Russian Christmas gift for Norway was called the closure of a metallurgical plant in the town of Nikel, Murmansk region. This opinion was expressed by environmental activists.
The outlet from the Nornickel nickelmelting plant in Nikel have made many different influences to the surrounding through the years. Therefore, the closure of this production can have a positive impact on the environment, according to the Norwegian Institute for Bioeconomy Research and Norwegian Institute for Air Research.
In the 1970s and 1980s, there were serious environmental problems in the area, including on the Norwegian side. Since then, emissions have dropped, and now it’s more about an air quality issue. “Although the concentrations at our monitoring stations have been in compliance with Norwegian threshold values, we still experience episodes with very high concentrations of SO2.” Tore Flatlandsmo Berglen, who works at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, told.
