This pamphlet is the result of the work of the Task Force under the Volgograd “Russian Air Management Project.” It is designed to document the experiment in Volgograd to implement a visual method of air emissions evaluation known as “opacity” or “method 9.” The materials can be used to develop this method in other regions of Russia.
It is designed for people working on such environmental demonstration projects, state authority officials, members of public environmental agencies, and a wide range of readers interested in legal environmental protection issues.
