The negative impact of the open method development of mining and processing enterprises of the Kursk magnetic anomaly on the environment is considered. The volume of unorganized emissions of dust and harmful gases into the atmosphere during blasting operations at the Lebedinsky GOK quarry is calculated. When processing the results of the experiment, the article used the “STATISTIKA” software package. Calculations of concentrations of harmful substances at the time of blasting showed that the concentration of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and dust in the atmosphere of the quarry exceed the maximum permissible concentrations. Industrial general technical preventive measures aimed at reducing the emission of dust particles during serial explosions of iron-containing rocks at the facility are recommended. An engineering and technical solution has been developed to reduce dust and gas emissions during mass explosions at the quarry of a mining and processing plant. The method of controlling the wetting and sticking of dust particles is applied. Aqueous solutions with an anion active substance based on triethanolamine salts are recommended. The concentration of the surfactant is selected according to the value of the surface tension of the solution.
