Abstract
The problems of ecological risks and technogenic hazards in the coal mining in Tuva based on the materials of geoecological research of the Tuva Institute for the Integrated Development of Natural Resources of the SB RAS and Tuva State University in 2015—2019 are considered. The results of coal analyzes of two typical coal mining of the Ulug-Khem coal basin with open and underground mining are presented, and the danger of dust and noise pollution of nearby pastures, catastrophic pollution of coal from the spawning of the Elegest spawning river, fires due to spontaneous combustion of coal are emphasized. There is possible influence of trace elements of coal — heavy metals, arsenic, mercury, etc. on the environment. Recommendations on improving the design and organization of coal mining enterprises, in particular on the placement of dumps and reclamation of their surface, as well as on the mandatory use of treatment facilities are made in the article.
