Additionally, a 2000 audit report by the Audiekometal organization, based in Moscow, asserted that, for the previous ten years, Dzerzhinsk had not made it to the top ten most polluted cities of the Russian Federation, and that the level of pollution in the city was "moderate".
Endvidere hævdede en revisionsrapport fra 2000 af Audiekometal-organisationen, der var baseret i Moskva, at Dzerzjinsk i de sidste ti år ikke havde været en af de ti mest forurenede byer i Den Russiske Føderation, og at forureningsniveauet i byen var "moderat".
