Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF THE ECOLOGICAL LOAD ON THE ENVIRONMENT UNDER ANTHROPOGENIC CHANGE IN THE SUBSOIL Yu.P. Galchenko The focus on the integrated assessment of the technogenic impact on the natural environment is beginning to manifest itself in regulatory documents. The consumption of natural resources occurs in two forms – direct and indirect. Directly consumed resource is the amount by which the resource reserves have changed, as a result of using them directly for the implementation of the technological process, where it completely changes and loses its primary properties. An indirectly consumed resource is the amount by which the resource reserves have changed due to the entry of matter and energy into the environment, which leads to a deterioration of its condition, as a result of which it loses its properties. The load factor shows the degree of indirect consumption of a resource as a result of changes in its natural properties during the energy impact on it or the introduction of a foreign substance.
