PROBLEMS OF ASSESSMENT OF ACCUMULATED ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE IN THE PROCESS OF PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION WASTE DISPOSAL
The article presents data on the inventory of objects of past environmental damage in Russia and on the territory of Russia. The methods of economic assessment of harm caused or harm caused to the environment by past economic activity are considered. The attention is focused on the fact that currently there is no single approach to the assessment of accumulated environmental damage (NEU). Various approaches to analytical calculations of damage to the components of the natural environment and human health by authorized and unauthorized placement and storage of production and consumption waste are sufficiently fully covered. The results of calculations of the accumulated environmental damage for a specific object of the NEU-Unal tailings pond in North Ossetia are presented.
