[Title translation and summary translation of the original Russian language article provided by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre] According to the soil assessment carried out by the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, one fifth of the agricultural land in Krasnoyarsk province is not suitable for vegetable production [due to pollution by an aluminium smelter there]. More than 1,000 hectares of land need restoration; and the specialists warn that it is harmful for the inhabitants of the province to eat cucumbers and tomato cultivated near to the aluminium smelter. 40 hectares of the land around the village of Peschanka have been classified as contaminated at a highly dangerous level. Although the private land plots of the villagers were not examined, it is clear that they take a risk to cultivate vegetables and fruit on their backyards. Experts believe that Krasnoyarsk inhabitants buying vegetables cultivated in the greenhouses in the Yemelianovskiy, Berezovskiy and Minusinskiy districts are also in danger – food products could contain heavy metals and poisons. The Environmental Prosecutor’s Office of Krasnoyarsk has banned vegetable production on the contaminated land. But even laws cannot help to improve the situation: the maximum penalty for soil contamination by legal entities (including companies) is only 40,000 Rubel [about USD 1,425].
