Abstract

The industrial accidents on tailings management facilities constitute threats to the environment, lead to substantial damages to flora, fauna, and human health and put considerable pressure on budgetary.A substantial reduction of the risks of the possible accidents on tailings management facilities would ensure that population, environment and neighboring countries are better protected. The introduction of the sound legislative framework for the planning,design, construction and closure of the tailings management facilities would improve the level playing field on the territory of Ukraine, and could improve the overall environmental situation in the country.<BR>Quelle: Forschungsbericht
