The problem of assessing environmental risks in science is covered from various angles. Its versatility is due to the intensive development of modern society and, in particular, the growth of industrial production and large-scale mining. In view of this, mechanisms that provide for forecasting and risk assessment have a significant advantage, which is characteristic of environmental monitoring. At the same time, the interrelationship of social processes, taken as its subject, the central element of which is a person, forces us to rethink the content of ecological mechanisms for environmental protection. Mechanisms for countering environmental risks should include not only technical procedures and mathematical calculations, which are widely applicable in risk assessment in the event of insurmountable natural events, for example, but also risks that can give rise to a wide range of negative consequences if natural resources are not properly treated. Taking into account the identified needs, elements of environmental monitoring were presented, forming a mechanism aimed at predicting and assessing environmental risks, which corresponds to the stated goal of the study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
