Abstract

The problems connected with the evaluation of technogenic contamination of ecosystems with the wastes of placer gold production in Priamurye and Primorye are discussed in the paper. The wastes polluted with mercury bring substantial hazard. We have established the degradation of environmental objects and sharp deterioration of human habitat. This brings the threat to human life in miners’ settlements. We propose the measures to reduce the negative action of wastes on environment objects.
