“…Принято во внимание, что многие исследователи, описывая угрозы и опасности объектов накопленного вреда, отмечают необходимость учета и исследования всего спектра химического загрязнения атмосферного воздуха [9,10], химической и микробной контаминации почв [11][12][13][14], поверхностных водных объектов [15][16][17]. В ряде работ подчеркивают значимость фильтрационных параметров грунтов по почвенному профилю для корректной прогнозноаналитической оценки распространения загрязнения за пределы мест накопления и длительного хранения жидких и полужидких отходов, в том числе шламонакопителей [18,19]. В последние годы поднимаются и обсуждаются вопросы угроз и опасностей объектов накопленного вреда в Арктической зоне [20][21][22].…”

This research work is topical since there are a lot of objects of accumulated environmental damage (AED) in the Russian Federation and the task to eliminate them is fixed in the country legislation. These objects are typically brownfields, abandoned industrial building or constructions, abandoned waste disposal landfills etc. In accordance with the “General cleaning” Federal project we have developed methodical approaches to assessing impacts exerted by AED objects on human health and life expectancy. The aim of the methodology is to spot out priority objects which are to be eliminated as soon as possible. Fuzzy set theory is chosen as a basic method. A unified set of indicators (40 and more) has been developed for each type of AED objects; this set allows assessing how hazardous an object is for population health. The indicators are combined into several conditional groups: overall profile; climatic and spatial characteristics; geological and hydrological properties of a territory; indicators related to quality of the environment in a zone influenced by a specific object. We have used scales to grade a health hazard taking into account weight contributions made by specific indicators and a group of them to the total risk of health disorders. Impacts are assessed allowing for types and severity of potential functional disorders of critical organs and systems in the human body under exposure to contamination. We suggest an algorithm and techniques for calculating risks of negative impacts. A scale with risk ranges (from 0 to 1) allows determining several risk rates including “low”, “moderate”, “average”, “high” and “extremely high” risk. An AED object is assigned into a risk category which corresponds to the maximum value of the membership function.2 Impacts exerted by objects assigned into “high” and “extremely high” risk categories are to be assessed more profoundly and assessment should involve specific medical and biological examinations. The methodology was tested successfully. The results proved that the selected approaches were relevant and that it was extremely important to collect complete and actual initial data of environment quality in zones influenced by AED objects. In 2022 approximately 192 objects are to be assessed; the express-evaluation is to be accomplished by experts of the Federal Service for Surveillance over Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing. As per the evaluation results, all AED objects are to be ranked and those creating the highest health risks are to be detected. The latter are to be eliminated immediately and complete profound assessment is to be performed at them.

“…When interacting with the natural environment, the drilling fluid can have a negative impact on the natural balance of biocenoses with unpredictable behavior of these complexes in the future. To prevent this negative impact, drill cuttings require neutralization and environmentally friendly disposal [Mironov et al, 2014, Meshcheryakov et al, 2017. The following main directions of utilization of drilling waste are known: physical, chemical, physicochemical, thermal and biological [Yagafarova et al, 2018].…”

The development of the infrastructure of the oil and gas complex is one of the most significant factors of negative impact on the environment. The most efficient way to drill wells is cluster drilling, which currently accounts for 95% of all operations carried out in fields. In the process of oil and oil products production, toxic drilling waste is generated at the well pad, which is then placed in sludge pits (sludge storage). The aim of the study was to select the methods for drilling waste utilization based on the results of environmental radiation analysis. Within the framework of the study, the following tasks were solved: radiation monitoring of drilling waste was carried out at the "Progress-2000" spectrometric complex; analyzed the physical and chemical composition of drill cuttings; a comparative analysis of the samples under study was carried out in accordance with the normative indicators; methods of utilization of drilling waste are proposed.

“…We bore in mind that, when describing threats and hazards caused by objects of accumulated environmental damage, many experts stressed out the necessity to take into account the whole range of chemical ambient air pollution [9,10], chemical and microbial contamination of soils [11][12][13][14] and surface water objects [15][16][17]. Some research works focused on significance of soil filtration parameters in soil profiles since they enabled correct predictive and analytical evaluation of pollution spread beyond landfills where liquid and semi-liquid wastes were accumulated and stored, including sludge accumulators [18,19]. Recently, there have been a lot of discussions regarding threats and hazards imposed by objects of accumulated environmental damage in the Arctic zone [20][21][22].…”
