FUNDAMENTALS OF THE DOCTRINE OF GEOECOLOGICAL PROCESSES

Abstract

The theoretical foundations of the doctrine of geoecological processes - changes, unpleasant shifts, deviations in human health, and changes in plant and animal organisms under the influence of the environment (natural and technogenic whole) - are discussed. The geoecological process is considered as a manifestation of the environmental impact on humans and plant and animal organisms. The methodological basis of the doctrine of geoecological processes - a scientific foundation of the process geoecology under the conditions of technogenic civilization - is emphasized. The essence of process geoecology - an interdisciplinary scientific discipline that studies changes, unpleasant shifts in human health, and changes in plant and animal organisms in the spatiotemporal specificity of the environment - is determined with allowance for the influence of natural and man-made factors. Under the conditions of environmental degradation and with manifestations of extreme weather and climatic anomalies, the problems of geoecological process are formulated. The conceptual content of the term “pollutant” is presented. Attention is drawn to the correct use of the term “polluter pays”.
