Regional technogenic changes in ecogeodynamic conditions of the development of iron ore deposits in Kryvbas by H. I. Rudko, Ye. O. Yakovlev

“…The major factors of technogenic changes in an ecological state of the geological environment during development of ferruginous quartzite deposits have been determined. The big mining complex in Kryvbas is a complex natural-technogenic geosystem with the mainly irreversible use of raw material resources the renewable ability of which is quite low. …”
