Analysis of ecological situation in the zone of influence of the large cement plant and technical solution for its improvement

Article preview

This article analyzes the environmental situation in the zone of influence of the cement plant and proposes a technical solution to improve it. Development of marl deposit by open-cut method has an unfavorable impact on flora and fauna. The forests located at the plant perform special nature protection, sanitary-hygienic, anti-erosion and soil protection functions, but the main function is the ability to clean the atmospheric air from dust, gases and other pollutants The main problem of reclamation of disturbed lands is of special importance. Recultivation of quarry territories is complicated by the presence of complex relief, lack of vegetative soil and fresh water, poor protection and other resources. Restoration of vegetation on steep slopes, high multi-stage quarries is particularly difficult.

Environmental and social aspects of the rotational method of labor organization in the development of gas condensate fields in the Polar region

Article preview

The most progressive method of labor organization in the development of gas-condensate fields of the Polar region is considered, the impact of negative climatic and social factors on the person, as well as the human impact on the natural environment is assessed. Among the depressing factors of human life activity in the conditions of the North the sanitary and hygienic working conditions, which for the main professions in the development of mineral and fuel-energy resources belong to the category of average severity and heavy, are also analyzed. The necessity to reduce the number of workers working in the harsh conditions of the North is substantiated. The analysis of rotational and shift-expeditionary methods during the most intensive development of oil and gas resources of the North, used by geologists, oil and gas workers both in Western Siberia and in the North-West of Russia, allowed to identify the positive sides of these methods. A slightly modified, more perfect, in the opinion of the authors, method is offered, and its application in adverse climatic conditions is substantiated.
