“…The process of introducing an environmental responsibility at an industrial enterprise is characterized by the need to agree on the goals, tasks, and directions of activity of the entire spectrum of its subsystems. Purposeful introduction of the principles of environmental responsibility into the development strategy of an industrial enterprise requires the development of a consistent, planned scheme for the implementation of this task (Savosko et al, 2022).…”

The purpose of the study is the identification and forecasting of socioecological effects from the implementation of environmental responsibility by industrial enterprises at the local level. The development of methodical approaches and practical recommendations for the organizational and economic support of environmental responsibility to improve social tension in the industrial region is explored. The process of the assessment of the level of environmental responsibility of an industrial enterprise is improved based on the factors of its environmental obligation and environmental initiative. It is proposed to assess the level of environmental responsibility of enterprises not only on the basis of widely used coefficients characterizing the level of pollution, but also taking into account the level of environmental initiative of the enterprises under study, which is expressed mainly through social investments.

A brief analysis of the mining industry impact on the environment is provided. It is proposed to assess the ecological situation of water bodies on the territory of Iron Ore Dressing Works (GOK) according to the magnitude of ecological risk (e.g. Iron Ore Dressing Works (Northern GOK)). Calculations of ecological risk values based on the content of microcomponents in the water were carried out for man-made (tailings storage) and natural water bodies (the Saksahan river, a pond in the Nedayvoda stream). It was concluded that over time (from 2014 to 2020) the ecological risk of most water bodies is increasing from 0.17 in the Saksahan river to -2.53 in tailings storage. The complex ecological situation on the territory of the Northern GOK proves the need to implement more effective environmental protection measures in order to achieve the criteria of sustainable development.

“…In Europe, the highest concentration of the latter is concentrated in the territory of the Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Basin. So, the study of the above-mentioned issues in the region becomes even more relevant (Gryshko et al, 2012;Savosko et al, 2022). Poplars (Populus L.) belong to fast-growing, highly productive tree species that are widely used in landscaping and national economy (FAO, 1958(FAO, , 2012(FAO, , 2016.…”

We carried out studies of the translocation of heavy metals in the soils of Kryvyi Rih. The peculiarities of the accumulation of heavy metals in the assimilation apparatus of seven poplar cultivars were clarified. The maximum rates of translocation of heavy metals were detected at the monitoring site of the industrial site of Northern Iron Ore Dressing Combine (henceforth referred to as Pivnichnyi HZK or PivnHZK). In the leaves of poplars “Lvivska,” “Hradizhzka,” and “I-45/51,” cadmium, one of the highly toxic elements, accumulates 25–30 times more than in the leaves of control plants. High rates of accumulation of heavy metals lead to a violation of the functioning of the plant organism at the physiological and biochemical levels, as evidenced by changes in the content of chlorophyll a and b. The amount of the main pigments of photosynthesis in the leaves of poplar cultivars under conditions of environmental pollution with heavy metals is lower than in the control, which indicates the inclusion of plant signaling mechanisms. At the same time, the amount of carotenoids in the organs of assimilation of poplars growing on the industrial sites of Northern and Central Iron Ore Dressing Combines (henceforth referred to as Central HZK or CHZK) increases and indicates the realization of their protective functions. The investigated cultivars can be divided into two groups according to the intensity of changes in pigment content. The first group (with a decrease in chlorophylls up to 2 times and an increase in the amount of carotenoids up to 2.5 times) includes “I-45/51,” “Lvivska,” and “Hradizhzka,” and the second group (with a decrease in chlorophylls by more than 2 times and an increase in the amount of carotenoids by more than 2.5 times) includes “Keliberdynska,” “Robusta,” “Sacrau-59,” and “Tronco.” This fact indicates better adaptation and greater resistance of cultivars of the first group to the action of heavy metals.
