Abstract

In present-day conditions the main goal of social and economic development of any territory is the growth of living standards including improvement of ecological situation by carrying out nature protection measures. Increase of negative impact on environment and sometimes uncivilized use of natural potential of the region are the main reasons why society concerns the problems of environment preservation. Improvement of ecological situation is one of the most important factors of development of the region now, at the same time providing balance of interrelation between public needs and natural resources. As a result the question of the need to provide conditions for improvement of environment in a region, especially in a coal-mining region, in the course of its development, becomes more and more urgent. That’s why environmental monitoring should become one of the instruments of execution of such approach, which today, undoubtedly, means a lot in the solution of environmental problems, however is not always systematic and does not consider all features of a mining region. The need of careful studying and forecasting of an ecological state of the coal-mining region becomes logical and obvious.
