Abstract

Mercury as a toxic pollutant of environmental components requires a quantitative assessment of the scale of emission and migration in the process of technogenic transformation of mining regions. The specific features of the concentration of mercury in natural mineral raw materials, commercial products and processing wastes are characterized by the example of mercury-containing copper pyrite deposits in the Urals. Mercury is used as a reliable element-tracer of the evolution of the technogenic system: mineral raw materials - subsoil waste - environmental components - food products - the human organism. An integrated approach is recommended for optimizing forecasting, assessment and management of geological and environmental risks as tools for geological and environmental monitoring of a modern mining engineering system.
