Tailings Koshkar-ata – source of radiation salt formationand contamination of dust transfer (environmental analysis)

Abstract

Tailings are made without filtration and other factors are often the source of environmental hazards, including the source of contamination of ground water and the atmosphere in the dust drift. This is the situation in the pond Koshkar-ata, which was reserved for the storage of waste Caspian Mining and Metallurgical Combine. This is the largest tailings radioactive substances in the world.
