Abstract
Atmospheric air in mining and industrial areas is mainly polluted with dust, which has a negative impact on the surrounding landscapes and public health. The surfaces of tailings ponds, where dust is formed under the influence of atmospheric conditions, are one of the main sources of dust emissions containing heavy metals. The results of studies of iron ore processing wastes prove the necessity of development of rational means and methods of reducing dust emissions from dust-forming surfaces into the atmosphere. The article outlines the results of the analysis and shows the negative impact of mining and metallurgical enterprises on various components of the environment and the state of public health.
