The effect of coal enterprises of Siberia and the Far East on the environment
The man-caused effect of the coal industry of Siberia and the Far East on the environment is examined. By use of official procedures adopted in 1999 by the RF State Committee on Environment Protection, the environment-economic harm is estimated. Some of these procedures require refinement. It concerns, for example, the estimation of the damage inflicted by nonused rocks and wastes from enrichment of coal mines. On the basis of analysis, it is proposed to change the sequence of funding the environment-protection operations, mainly in regard to opencast mines.
