   How does the SECTOR influence city environment

The power-engineering enterprises influence the quality of the air in the city and quality of water in open waterflows.
The main and the worst influence of power-engineering enterprises on the enveronment is the pollution of the atmospheric air.  As the result of fuel burning into the atmospheric air are emitted: nitrogen oxide, dioxide of sulphur, carbon oxide, carbon - black, pentaoxide of vanadium, etc. These admixtures in the atmospheric air influence the health of population and greenery.
The portion of polluted effuent discharge into open reservoirs is not big, but because of water use for its heating, during its dump into the open waterflows the thermal pollution of water resources occurs. It harmfully influences the flora and fauna of water flows, however the observation of this harmful influence is not conducted at all.
