Description

The HELCOM Hot Spots list, created in 1992 to identify major pollution sources affecting the Baltic Sea, originally included 162 sites. It contains point sources from municipal facilities, industrial plants, and agriculture. By March 2025, 127 of these sites had been cleaned up, leaving 35 still active — including 6 agricultural, 3 coastal, 17 industrial, and 9 municipal Hot Spots.
