Rudnaya Pristan
Rudnaya Pristan ((ロシア語:Ру́дная При́стань), lit. ''Ore Wharf'') is a village (''selo'') located at the mouth of the Rudnaya River, on the Pacific coast of Primorsky Krai. It is situated 35 km east of Dalnegorsk (in the jurisdiction of which it is located) and approximately 514 km north of Vladivostok. Its population was 2,389 in 2002,〔(2002 Census)〕 down from 2,947 in 1989.〔(1989 Census).〕
Lead smelting has been the town's primary industry since a plant was built there in 1930. The plant has provided steady employment for most of the area's families since that time, but at enormous cost to both the health of the residents and the local environment. The residents suffer from many health problems, including an inordinately high rate of cancer, and the soil has become heavily contaminated with lead-related by-products. The Blacksmith Institute consequently declared Rudnaya Pristan, along with Dalnegorsk, one of the ten worst polluted places on earth,〔(Website of Blacksmith Institute )〕 although Anatoly Lebedev, leader of the ecological NGO ''BROK'', disputes this inclusion.〔Regnum New Agency. ''(Ecologists of Primorye Territory (Russia) surprised at listing Rudnaya Pristan among the most polluted places in the world )''〕
Despite its coastal location, Rudnaya Pristan's harbor has remained largely undeveloped, and its climate is harsh, dominated in winter by the vast Siberian high-pressure system and in summer by remnants of the East Asian monsoon. This combination results in very cold, dry winters with generally high winds, and muggy summers that provide ideal conditions for the breeding of mosquitos.
