Upon the formation of the Russian Federation, around 40% of Russia's territory began demonstrating symptoms of "significant" ecological stress, largely due to a diverse number of environmental issues, including deforestation, energy irresponsibility, pollution, and nuclear waste, largely the leftovers of the USSRs economic policy. Around 16 million hectares of forest are lost each year to a variety of causes including logging, pollution, and fires. 75% of surface water, and 50% of all water in Russia is now polluted (only 8% of wastewater is fully treated before being returned to waterways). Over 200 cities in Russia exceed pollution limits and air pollution is attributed to 17% of childhood and 10% of adult diseases, as well as 41% of respiratory and 16% of endocrine diseases.[1]
