Abstract
A brief analysis of the mining industry impact on the environment is provided. It is proposed to assess the ecological situation of water bodies on the territory of Iron Ore Dressing Works (GOK) according to the magnitude of ecological risk (e.g. Iron Ore Dressing Works (Northern GOK)). Calculations of ecological risk values based on the content of microcomponents in the water were carried out for man-made (tailings storage) and natural water bodies (the Saksahan river, a pond in the Nedayvoda stream). It was concluded that over time (from 2014 to 2020) the ecological risk of most water bodies is increasing from 0.17 in the Saksahan river to -2.53 in tailings storage. The complex ecological situation on the territory of the Northern GOK proves the need to implement more effective environmental protection measures in order to achieve the criteria of sustainable development.
