THE IMPACT OF THE ASBESTOS QUARRY ON THE ECOLOGY OF THE CITY

Abstract

The paper describes environmental safety of the
Asbestos quarry in the Sverdlovsk region, which is
considered one of the largest in the Urals and investigates the possible industrial use of asbestos. It broads the topic of the negative impact of the use of chrysotile asbestos on human and animal health and marks the possible diseases and dangers caused by asbestos dust in quarries and the potential harm of asbestos to the environment. We show
how blast waves have a seismic effect not only on the slopes of quarries, but also on residential buildings nearby. The company "Promtekhvzryv", which produces water-based explosives with its consumption of explosives is to mention first. We show the wrongful acts of JSC "Uralasbest" and other enterprises of the town which pollute the environment and study the mortality rates in Asbest town. The paper analyses the results of financial activity, where there is an increase in capital turnover,
which signs the economic growth of the enterprise.
It considers the problem of reclamation of the dumps of the open-pit mine of JSC "Uralasbest" and the problems that may arise in case of improper reclamation, as well as recommended measures to minimize the harmful impact of the quarry. The authors give an example of a mine, needing reclamation.
