Abstract
In the course of practical research in the zone of influence of the metallurgical industry enterprise "Boksitogorsk alumina" in Boksitogorsk the sizes of the real zone of negative influence of the enterprise were obtained. They practically on a row exceed those obtained by theoretical calculations according to the OND-86 methodology, universally applied for calculation of atmospheric air pollution in the Russian Federation. Many residential, agricultural and forestry lands are located in the zone of negative impact of the enterprise. This substantiates the necessity to conduct engineering and environmental studies in the impact zones of large enterprises of the mineral and raw materials complex.
