In March 2016 Yerevan Lake had water classified as “unsatisfactory” (class 4). According to “Center for Monitoring Environmental Impact” SNCO of Nature Protection Ministry, the pollution is conditioned with the large amounts of ammonium, nitrite ion, general inorganic nitrogen, nitrate ion, phosphate ion in the water. Besides water pollution, the lake banks are also contaminated. There is garbage and sink along the whole shore of the lake next to the US Embassy to Armenia.
