Radiation factors in the areas of mineral deposit extraction are often rather intense, and they require a detailed study. One of such areas is the Taimyr Dolgan-Nenets District of the Krasnoyarsk Region, Russia, the administrative center of which is located in the town of Dudinka where at present the water supply system is being upgraded. This study is focused on investigation of the radiation factors on the territory under upgrade. In the framework of engineering and environmental surveys the gamma background and...

At present, the water supply system in the town of Dudinka (Krasnoyarsk Region, Russia) is being upgraded. In its turn, design of industrial projects stipulates development of an environmental protection action list. This study is aimed at forecasting environmental changes in the course of construction and operation of the water supply system. Results of the previous engineering and environmental surveys were used as input data for the forecast. Technogenic impacts of the project on the atmosphere, surface and gro...

Infrastructure development of mineral fields, mining and processing of raw minerals usually cause substantial degradation of the environment. Therefore, projected construction of mining enterprises (MEs) envisages a detailed study of geoecological state of the mineral field territories at all stages of ME?s life time. Intensive growth of the mining industry, significant technogenic loads on the environment and the need for addressing industry-specific environmental protection issues stipulate the relevance of such...

Since thermal energy is one of the most environmentally hazardous industries, the issues of environmental compatibility of thermal power stations (TPPs) construction are the priority. One of the main supporting pre-project documents on projected construction of TPP is a report on its environmental impact assessment (EIA). Due to the diversity of technology options for generating electrical power, as well as differences in natural and man-made, economic, social and other conditions of the territories intended for T...

A specific feature of thermal power plants (TPP) is the multivariate nature of their intense technogenic impact on the environment, including pollution of air, environmental waters, soils, as well as disturbance of the geologic environment. Besides, TPPs cause thermal, radiation, noise and electromagnetic pollution; they also induce physical littering of the terrain and problems associated with storage of ash waste. Due to the reasons stated above, a comprehensive study of environmental damage zones caused by TPP ...

Construction development of forest-tundra areas shall take into account their peculiar characteristics: enhanced susceptibility of landscape components to man-made impact, presence of permafrost, and also insufficient exploration of environmental conditions. These factors make it essential to carry out a detailed investigation of natural and man-made conditions as a part of engineering and environmental surveys during environmental feasibility study of the projected construction in such areas. This work is dedicat...
