The development of industry in the Kemerovo region was accompanied by a significant increase in anthropogenic pressure, including in the form of air pollution, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the quality of life of the local population. Due to environmental legislation adopted at the federal level, a favorable trend in reducing emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere can be traced. However, in practice, the measures taken did not lead to a noticeable improvement in the quality of atmospheric air in large cities of the region. On the positive side, we should note that the environmental legislation and the centralized system for monitoring and controlling the quality of the environment were laid towards the end of the USSR existence. In the Russian period of history, financial incentives for the transition to cleaner production technologies began to be applied. The right to a favorable environment is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
