Geosystemic zoning as a basis for rehabilitation environmental measures of mining and smelting complex (exemplified by metallurgic plant)

Abstract

The article covers a method for zoning of natural technogenic geosystem (exemplified by territory of ash-heap from métallurgie enterprise - one of the major metallurgic enterprises in Russia). The method is based on main principles of systemic approach and enables objective evaluation of space-time spread of pollution for effective management solutions. The studied territory appeared to be assigned to “dangerous” pollution category and requires specification and implementation of effective nature protection measures, with primary step of systematic monitoring of all environmental components including biota - that enables consideration of its results in geosystem studies and gives information for forecasting ecologic state of environment.
