ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF SUBSOIL USERS ON THE EXAMPLE OF JSC «ALROSA»

Abstract

The article examines the issues of protecting the natural environment resulting from the activities of companies operating in the mineral resources sector, using the example of JSC «ALROSA». The research objective was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the parameters of environmental pollution by the company and to evaluate its environmental activities from the perspective of identifying measures aimed at reducing the level of impact on the natural environment. To achieve this goal, an analysis was carried out based on indicators of the impact of economic activities on the natural environment and indicators of pollution intensity. The specific indicators of pollution intensity were calculated based on the contribution of each type of pollution–atmospheric air, production waste, and wastewater–to the production of final products. This study emphasizes the importance of assessing the environmental activities of mining industry companies and the need for timely implementation of measures adequate to the ecological threat of negative consequences from environmental pollution.
