Résumé anglais The exploitation of oil which, over the last thirty years, has been the main source о wealth of the autonomous province of Khanty-Mansisk, is also the cause of a major 'ecological crisis' which affects the plain of the middle Ob, and especially the district of Nijnévartovsk. The oil industry remains the main source of danger due to the importance of atmospheric emissions and the frequency of accidents which pollute numerous sites. The atmosphere, water and the earth, vectors for the diffusion of pollution. generate hazards affecting not only natural environments but also the population. Research undertaken in the middle of the 1980s to make a first assessment of the situation show that both ecosystems and populations are increasingly vulnerable to pollution.
