Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGY OF ECOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF CONSEQUENCES STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTES OF MINING A.N. Proshlyakov The significance of the effect of storage of waste rocks for various ecosystems is shown. The definitions of various forms of accumulation of solid waste on the earth's surface are given. A study was conducted to assess the level of impact of mining waste on natural biota adjacent to the border of the dump. The set of factors that determine the content of concepts and methods for assessing the environmental safety of technogenic neoformations generated from solid waste from mining in the light of the mode of their location is determined and investigated. A description of the separation of the surface into various types of ecosystems describing the nature of the impact of secondary biota on the environment is given. Keywords: solid waste; waste dump; Earth's natural biota; ecosystem. DOI: 10.25791/esip.07.2020.1168 Pp. 25-30.
