Investigations of geoecological state in setlements of the Dnipropetrovsk region adjacent to the Shcherbakivska beam

Abstract

The article presents the results of investigations of geoecological state of settlements of Kryvyi Rih district of Dnipropetrovsk region adjacent to the tailings dump of the SkhidHZK of the Shcherbakivska beam. The rational complex of geological and geophysical methods for asses­sing the geoecological state of technogenic-loaded areas near to the tailings dump is grounded, considering the peculiarities of the territory tectonic structure and possible geodynamic changes of the state of the geological environment. Recommendations for the complex of geological and geophysical methods for the effective solution of ecological monitoring problems with the purpose of possible changes of the geological environment under the influence of natural and man-made processes around the tailings dump of radioactive waste are developed. In the future in the settlements connected with the possible emergency ecological situation due to the proximity to the tailing dump the SkhidHZK the Shcherbakivska beam, it is necessary to take a number of measures directed at the constant conduct of round-the-clock geoecological monitoring and limitation of external and internal chronic exposure of the population. It is assumed that in case of deterioration of the environmental situation based on the results of round-the-clock monito­ring research, it will allow to fulfil the timely receipt of information from the monitoring unit to the information user that is responsible for making of managerial decisions on protecting the population of settlements adjacent to the Shcherbakivska beam.
