The environmental disaster of the coal-mining region

Modern Leninsk-Kuznetsk – one of the centers of the coal industry of Kuzbass, it is very good on the economic side, and from the ecology could not be worse . The main contribution to the deterioration of the ecological situation is made by enterprises of the coal industry . On the territory of Leninsk-Kuznetsk 5 operating mines, of which the ecological situation is unfavourable .

Environmental problems in coal-producing region can be judged by the following directions:

1)Activities focused on reducing wastewater discharges and its clear-ku.

2)the Number of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere during coal storage in open warehouses.

• 3)    Activities aimed at the rational use of the breed.

4)Activities aimed at land reclamation.

These criteria assess the ecological situation not chosen by chance because:

• 1)    Pollution of water bodies. The leading artery of the city, the river Inya, over the last few years has changed to no recognition is connected with development of coal place of birth, accompanied by large industrial discharges into the river, and with a fence of water for technological needs. This entailed, first and foremost, a significant shallowing of the river, and fish stocks, which were great , now the minimum . A similar fate affected many of the reservoirs of the city, near which are located the coal production.

• 2)    environmental Pollution in the process of storing coal in the open folding-Dah. The mine affect air quality. During unloading the load of coal and store it in a

warehouse in atmospheric air is discharged coal dust which in the following is posted at a considerable distance, because of this, Leninsk-Kuznechnoe are forced to breathe coal dust living far from the stores of coal.

• 3)    Dump the rocks. The coal mines along with coal-produced a large number of species . A significant impact on the environment have a breed that is a fertile land for dumps , significantly contribute to the violation of the natural landscape of the earth's surface . It is estimated that every thousand tons of underground mining is accompanied by the results on the surface of 110-150 m3 rock.

• 4)    Reclamation of land. Coal mining is accompanied by enormous environmental damage . 1 million tons of coal mined is lost 36 hectares of fertile land. Currently the main problem for Leninsk-Kuznetskiy should be considered the revival and restoration of the ecological and economic value of disturbed lands due to mining activities.

Thus the activities of the mines has a direct impact on the atmosphere-ru, biosphere and hydrosphere that may entail irreparable consequences for the ecology of the area. A bad environment negatively affects the health of citizens, the frequent evidence of cancer, asthma, allergies, and many other diseases.
