Assessment of the effect of mining and mining industry on soil covering

At a time of rapid development of industry, transport and agriculture, it is also important to ensure the protection of the environment and the efficient use of natural resources. One of the main concerns of the world community is the elimination of the impact on the environment, especially soil and vegetation, during the extraction, transportation and processing of minerals. In modern conditions, the use of the Earth's crust disrupts the course of geological processes, primarily affecting the balance of the natural cycle of matter in the biosphere, leading to the introduction of substances and compounds that are not specific to terrestrial ecosystems.
