Abstract
A study was carried out to assess the environmental and technical indicators of coal enterprises activities in coal mining and formation and waste treatment trends statistical data. It is proposed to analyze waste management trends using dimensionless coefficients (Krec, Kincin, Kland): recycling, incineration or landfill disposal. They are indicators of time dependence and represent a mathematical expression in the form: the ratio of recycled, incinerated or disposed volumes of waste to the volume of waste generated per year. The expediency of using the specific emission of pollutants' values for each pollutant and from each source of emission has been substantiated in general for production. It has been proven that such an approach allows the practical possibility of objective control over the actual emissions of pollutants and establishes a relationship between the amount of pollutant emitted and the activity or inaction associated with this ejection. It has been established that in recent years, the decline in coal mining has led to an unjustified increase in emissions of pollutants at many state-owned enterprises. It has been established that minimization of generating, reuse, recycling and recovery of waste is in no way reflected in the waste measures for the management mining industry waste, but it rather reflects a slowdown in measures to protect and preserve the environment. It has been proven that the main method used in Ukraine is the creation of dumps or storage facilities. Calculation of the operations ratio with waste (utilization, incineration, disposal) to the volume of formation of the latter showed that Krec is gradually decreasing, while Kland displays an active increase (by 1.5 times). It is concluded that the EU directives on waste management are not fully implemented (primarily, this concerns waste recycling); it is advisable to provide either the reuse of the mining waste, or the adding value - by converting waste into something else.
