Description
Abstract. A methodology for ranking pollution sources is described. It is scientifically well-grounded and can be used for any type of point pollution
sources. It includes the level of anthropogenic loading from the hotspot, general anthropogenic loading on the territory and some landscape characteristics.
Ten Ukrainian hotspots in the coastal zone were ranked using data for the year 2010. The results were compared with those obtained in 2007. Pivnichi and
Pivdenni WWTPs are still on the top of the list. Sudak WWTP has shown the best results (descending 7 ranks). Mariupol, Kerch and Yevpatoria WWTPs have
shown the worst results (rising 3 ranks). Ranking of ten Ukrainian hotspots (atmospheric air) was performed using data for the year 2010. Comparison of
results with those obtained in 2007 has demonstrated that there are no major changes in the ranks. Two big metallurgical plants are still on the top - Mariupol
metallurgical plant Azovstal and Illich Mariupol metallurgical plant. The situation with Crimea soda plant has become much worse (rising 3 ranks).
