Assessment of Mercury Releases from the Russian Federation
ANNEX 1
Official Mercury Release Statistics
Mercury Emissions to the Atmosphere
The official statistics (Report on Air Protection in 2001 of Goscomstat of RF) on mercury emissions is based on emissions data reported by individual enterprises. The
enterprises are obliged to report only on the emissions of pollutants which are included in the official list of emitted pollutants for each individual enterprise and
restricted by standards (Maximum Allowable Emissions) issued by environmental authorities. It means the official statistics does not cover all sources of mercury
emissions. In most cases, the data on mercury emissions reported by the enterprises are based on calculations, not on actual measurements.
In the table the name on enterprises or a sector that in 2001 officially accounted for a significant part of the emission from Russia's region is indicated with italics below
the region.

Mercury Discharges to Surface Water Bodies in 2001
The official statistics on mercury discharges is based on discharges data reported by individual enterprises. The enterprises are obliged to report only on the
discharges of pollutants which are included in the official list of discharged pollutants for each individual enterprise and restricted by standards (Maximum Allowable
Emissions) issued by environmental authorities. Therefore, the official statistics does not cover all mercury discharges even from point sources. Additionally, there a
significant number of non-point sources, areas with soils contaminated by mercury (e.g., due to gold mining activities), which contribute to mercury releases to water.
This non-point contamination is not taken into account by official statistics presented in the table below.

Accumulation, Generation, Use and Decontamination of Mercury-containing Waste in 2001
- Data from the Report on Hazardous Wastes Generation and Disposal of Goscomstat of RF
Official statistics on mercury-containing waste generation, handling and disposal is based on data reported by individual enterprises. Any enterprise is obliged to report
on generation, accumulation, use and decontamination of waste (in total, by hazard class and by generic waste type). Mercury-containing waste (as a generic waste
type) belongs to Class 1 (the most hazardous class). Although the system of waste reporting was established in 1994, not all enterprises submit their waste-related
data regularly.
This information relates only to industrial hazardous waste as there is no official statistical data on the composition of industrial non-hazardous waste and municipal
waste. Therefore, mercury containing in municipal waste is not included. The data does not reflect the content of mercury in the waste.
