The Khibiny attracts more and more attention as an interesting and promising object attracting flows of tourists and athletes not only from a number of regions of Russia, but also from abroad. In this regard, significant changes are taking place in Kirovsk in the structure of economic activity, associated, first of all, with the reorganization of recreational activities. However, the presence of mining facilities in this area has caused a large load on natural ecosystems. As a result, an adverse environmental situation is developing in the study area, which limits the development of recreation here. To assess the current state and identify opportunities for the development of recreational activities in the Khibiny, in particular, in the city of Kirovsk and its environs, comprehensive studies were carried out in January 2019, 2020 and in August 2021. The results show that this region is a very attractive recreation center, and vacationers and local residents are interested in the development of tourism in this area. At the same time, the studies revealed a number of problems limiting the development of tourism in the Khibiny, which include, first of all, the deterioration of the quality of the natural environment associated with the emergence of technogenic landscapes as a result apatite-nepheline mining. socio-economic factors that reduce the tourist and recreational attractiveness of the Khibiny include the low level of development of tourist infrastructure and the quality of services.

“…The composition of apatite-nepheline ore includes nepheline (up to 60 wt. %) (Slipenchuk et al, 2019;Nevskaya et al, 2019;Elbendary et al, 2020), from which nepheline concentrate can be obtained, suitable as a raw material for the production of metallurgical alumina (aluminum hydroxide; Al2O3). However, only a small part of the nepheline concentrate is used for the production of alumina, the rest is practically not used in the production (Sizyakov & Brichkin, 2018;Elbendary et al, 2019;Ponomarenko et al, 2021).…”

The article presented the results of studies on the production of low-modulus zeolites from two types of technogenic resources containing a sufficient amount of silicon in their composition. The raw materials were nepheline concentrate and silica gel, which are products of the processing of apatite-nepheline ore. Directly before the synthesis of low-modulus zeolites, the morphology, chemical composition, and particle size of the starting materials were analyzed. The optimal parameters for sample preparation and purification of the raw materials used were also selected. The influence of the ratio of components in the reaction mixture on the type of synthesized zeolite and its characteristics were studied. The properties of synthesized zeolites from the proposed type of raw material were compared with the properties of zeolites synthesized today using the popular technology from kaolin clay, which is currently offered as an inexpensive natural raw material.

“…The European North of Russia is a region characterized by high environmental vulnerability and uncomfortable conditions to the population. Due to continuous increasing technogenic impact, certain areas of the North attract increased attention [1]. Modern nature management in certain Arctic regions has caused extremely negative changes in the environment, which influence human health [2].…”

The main goal of the research is to identify the degree of dust pollution in the city of Murmansk in the winter period in connection with the activities of industrial enterprises and transport systems. The study was conducted in the winter of 2018 and 2019 during the expedition of the Department of Environmental Management of the Faculty of Geography of Moscow State University. Snow sampling was carried out at different distances from pollution sources in various functional areas of the city, taking into account the number of storeys of the building, the features of the relief, wind direction and the distribution of green spaces. Based on a comparative analysis of the organic matter content in snow water and the composition of solid particles, it is concluded that there is a significant presence of coal dust and hydrocarbons in the composition of solid particles in snow. The main pollutant of snow cover is the Murmansk Commercial Port, which is a source of coal dust resulting from unloading and loading operations. The distribution of dust pollution in the city of Murmansk is significantly affected by the prevailing air masses and the relief.
