Ecological and Economic Aspects of the Spread of Helminthiasis in the Coal Region on the Example of Kuzbass

Abstract

The article deals with the ecological and economic aspects of the spread of helminthiasis in the coal region on the example of the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass. The authors note that the dominant component of environmental damage in coal-mining regions includes not only the industrial development, but also the negative impact of human activity as an anthropogenic factor of the biosystem. Based on the integrative approach of interaction between medicine, economics, and ecology, the authors developed and proposed practical measures to reduce the spread of helminthiasis in Kuzbass, which can not only effectively solve this problem, but also become the basic concept of the modern style of ecological thinking on a global scale. The paper proves the thesis that for the effective functioning of subjects of the Russian Federation with a single-industry focus, such as Kuzbass, it is necessary to form an ecological and economic mechanism that ensures the sustainable development of mining regions of the Russian Federation in changing external and internal conditions that determine the functioning of not only the mineral resource complex of mining regions, but also their socioeconomic development.
