Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES IN THE FAR EASTERN MINING REGION OF RUSSIA Yu.A. Arkhipova, M.B. Bubnova A system of permanent observations (ecologo-geological monitoring) of natural, geological and anthropogenic changes is crucial for the sustainable development of mining areas and enterprises. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the specific features of the impact of the anthropogenic system of the mining enterprise on the environment, the background state of the environment in the given territory, other available anthropogenic sources of this impact, the existing monitoring system, the composition of the pollutants, and the peculiarities of the natural conditions which determine the distribution and accumulation of pollutants. This paper proposes a methodological approach to eco-geological monitoring through development of a monitoring system in the zone of influence of mining enterprises. Keywords: mining industry; ecological and geological monitoring; environmental safety; technogenic deposits; remote methods of earth surface survey.
