нанесение вреда окружающей среде(Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of wildlife. It is defined as any change or disturbance to the environment perceived to be deleterious or undesirable.[1] As indicated by the I=PAT equation, environmental impact (I) or degradation is caused by the combination of an already very large and increasing human population (P), continually increasing economic growth or per capita affluence (A), and the application of resource depleting and polluting technology (T).

ухудшение экологической обстановки(Although the country has suffered from longstanding environmental degradation dating back to the Soviet period, Russians' attachment to the land and concern over pollution are not often acknowledged in surveys of this type. TMT Alexander Demidov)
