The amount of harmful substances was summed up, resulting in an overall rating for all cities of the country. However, it should be noted that the specialists were not completely objective. The distribution of places did not take into account the level of toxicity of the released substances, as well as the area of cities.

However, in this city the role of stationary sources is noticeably lower and amounts to just over 70%.
