Abstract
The article analyzes the main indicators of the Russian coal industry's impact on the environment: the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere for the year 2016 compared with 2015. It also identifies actual values of the environmental safety targets of the coal industry and the main investments in the nature protection. For prevention, restriction and minimization the negative impact on the environment, the coal industry has proposed the packages of managerial and technical measures.
Highlights
Hundreds of thousands tons of polluting substance are emitted into the atmosphere [3, 4], hundreds of millions сubic meters of polluted manufacturing water are discharged into water bodies [5], thousands of hectares of agricultural land are seized [6] by the coal-mining enterprises of Russia every year
Effects on the Lithosphere. 5161.4 hectares of land were destroyed by coal industry in 2016, and 964.2 hectares were remediated
3 Conclusions In order to prevent, limit and minimize the negative impact on the environment, two main sets of organizational and technical measures are recommended
Summary
Hundreds of thousands tons of polluting substance are emitted into the atmosphere [3, 4], hundreds of millions сubic meters of polluted manufacturing water are discharged into water bodies [5], thousands of hectares of agricultural land are seized [6] by the coal-mining enterprises of Russia every year. Coal production directly damages the Earth’s interior. This damage is closely related with geological exploration, construction, mining and other works that lead to a change in the vegetation cover, hydrogeological regime of the terrain, the formation of anthropogenic relief and other qualitative changes in the land [7, 8]. Thanks to the analysis of literature sources, official reports about the state and protection of the environment, etc. [9-14] the authors could highlight the main environmental problems in the coal industry and formulate measures to reduce its negative environmental impact Thanks to the analysis of literature sources, official reports about the state and protection of the environment, etc. [9-14] the authors could highlight the main environmental problems in the coal industry and formulate measures to reduce its negative environmental impact
