Information Management for Remote Monitoring of the Ecology of Disturbed Lands During the Development of Deposits of Chrysotile-asbestos and Fluxing Limestone

Abstract

Based on the results of remote monitoring, the current state of mining operations in quarries for the extraction of chrysotile-asbestos and metallurgical fluxes used in various sectors of the Russian national economy was studied. The production capacity of each quarry in terms of rock mass at the studied deposits and the total production potential of the quarries for the extraction of minerals, estimated at at least 95 million tons per year, have been determined. The environmental indicators of disturbed lands during the development of deposits of chrysotile-asbestos and metallurgical fluxes are presented.
