The research studies the comparative evaluation and the characteristics of the ecological status of the territories. It was determined that for the period from 2005 till 2012 the emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere from stationary and mobile pollution sources are being gradually reduced due to the decreasing level of production enterprises, which were the main polluters of the atmosphere. According to the types of economic activity, the measurements of Eco-intensity emissions of pollutants and carbon dioxide indicated that the biggest indices were in energy distribution, mining and processing industries.
