YEREVAN, MAY 29, NOYAN TAPAN. More than 100 young scientists from 32
scientific-research and scientific-educational institutions of CIS and
foreign countries take part in the international youth conference under
the title "Mountainous Areas: Ecological Problems of Towns" being held
on May 29-30 in Yerevan. The conference was organized by the Center
for Ecological-Noosphere Researches of RA National Academy of Sciences
with the support of OSCE Yerevan Office and UNESCO Moscow Office.
As Center Director Armen Saghatelian reported, 47 reports presented at
the conference have both theoretical and practical significance. In
his words, the works can be a scientific basis for solving a number
of ecological problems of towns.
In A. Saghatelian's words, preservation of ecological stability of
mountainous areas and towns is one of the first and foremost tasks
at present, for solving which complex and scientifically grounded
approaches are needed. In his words, in towns of mountainous
areas, including Yerevan, the situation is tense in the respect of
ecology. "Today irregular construction is carried out in Yerevan,
green zones are destroyed, the environment is polluted with dangerous
elements, especially heavy metals," A. Saghatelian said. Besides,
in his words, in the recent years, due to seismic activity of the
region, accumulations of poisonous gas, radon, have increased on
Yerevan buildings' ground and first floors.
