Risk assessment is currently the most realistic tool for regulating interactions in the "society-nature" system and scientifically based planning of economic development of regions. It is especially important in such multifunctional regions as Crimea, where the extensive development of the peninsula is combined with its major recreational value and geopolitical role.

1. A methodology was developed, methodological approaches to assessing the risk to the health of the peninsula's ecosystems and the population were determined, and they were tested through field studies of various scales.
2. As the main principle of risk assessment for environmental regulation of the impact on the peninsula's ecosystems and public health and subsequent assessment of the environmental situation by determining whether ecosystem standards are exceeded, a scheme of medical-ecological and eco-biophysiological monitoring is proposed, which represents a consistent movement from identifying territories with an unfavorable environmental situation and public health to identifying environmental risk factors (technogenic, taking into account the biogeochemical characteristics of the territories), determining their content in the human body and quantitatively assessing the risk from their presence in the body.
3. Partial implementation of the proposed approaches has been carried out, which has shown the feasibility and prospects of their use for analyzing the real environmental situation and assessing the risk for the peninsula's ecosystems and public health, modeling, forecasting changes and making management decisions on their basis on planning the economic development of the region.
4. Despite the efforts made by Crimean scientists, the main problem of incomplete implementation of the proposed approaches is the lack of state regulation and organization of interaction between departments and scientific institutions that are separately engaged in individual aspects of environmental protection and health issues.
5. It must be acknowledged that there is a risk of impracticability of the tasks due to the complexity of their solution based on field studies, but this is the only possible way to obtain an objective assessment of the real situation. Otherwise, the formation of the noosphere as a scientific regulation of the interaction of nature and human society according to V.I. Vernadsky should be recognized as impossible.

The purpose of the article is to consider technological methods for enhancing the efficiency of waste heap phytoremediation in the Donbass region as a method for managing environmental risks. A review is given on the use of mineral and organic sorbents as a technological approach, their effect is shown in various conditions of the polluted environment of the Donbass and other similar regions. The possibility of using biochar (biocoal) as an appropriate sorbent to enhance the process of waste heap reclamation with a high content of heavy metals in their grounds is characterized.

The purpose of the research presented in the article is an integrated assessment of soil contamination with heavy metals based on the methodology of risk analysis. The risks from soil pollution by heavy metals are calculated based on criteria that ensure the preservation of a favorable environment, taking into account the spatial scale, duration and intensity of exposure to pollutants. As a criterion of ecological safety (ecological criterion), the limitation of the content of heavy metals in the soil is used to levels that preserve the basic ecological functions of the soil, ensure the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable functioning of natural ecosystems, and do not disrupt the chemical and physical functions of the soil. The hygienic criterion is the maximum permissible (or approximately permissible) concentration of a contaminant in the soil. In order to preserve a favorable environment, the minimum value according to environmental and hygienic criteria is selected as the reference level of heavy metal content in the soil. To assess the risk from chemical contamination of soils with heavy metals, the following indicators are used: the risk index, equal to the ratio of the content of heavy metals in the soil to the control level; the hazard index, which is the sum of the ratios of the observed concentrations of heavy metals in the soil to the corresponding control levels; a generalized risk indicator, which is an integral indicator for assessing soil contamination with heavy metals. Risk indicators are calculated based on data from monitoring the content of heavy metals in the soil in the survey area. The results of the risk assessment make it possible to rank the levels of soil contamination with heavy metals, rationally organize monitoring in the survey area, and optimize protective measures in order to preserve a favorable environment.

The article provides an example of the use of the ERA tool - environmental risk assessment and discusses the results of its use. As an example, the territory of the Irkutsk region was chosen, where hazardous natural processes (OPP) are widespread. They form factors of natural danger, i.e. its real manifestation in the form of a natural process, phenomenon or their combination, which can harm a specific human economic activity in nature (nature management), industry, enterprise or territory, reduce their efficiency and profitability. The interaction of man and nature establishes natural-anthropogenic connections that form a system of natural hazard factors or such a spatio-temporal combination of natural (ecological) and anthropogenic (anthropogenic) systems, in which their mutual functioning, beneficial for a certain community of people, is possible, but always associated with danger.

It was revealed that as a result of the development of the DGP, the safety of the population, economy and territories of the Irkutsk region is under threat today. Therefore, the developed models are of great importance for all stages of risk assessment and SS management. With their specific use, scientists must first understand the needs of the governing bodies, and then focus on identifying the problems associated with these needs. Development of a shared environmental risk management scheme on both sides, taking into account various points of view, are the basis for ensuring the safety of the population and economy of the Irkutsk region.

The article examines the main information threats to the population of Russia, carried out by the countries of the collective West, and measures to counter them. The objectives of the research were to analyze the nature of possible information threats to the population and determine the composition of measures to counter these threats. In assessing the various forms of information threats, the main attention was paid to the information impact on the moral and psychological state of the population. Considering that in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 11.07.2004 No. 868, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia is entrusted with the function of providing emergency psychological assistance to the affected population in emergency zones, possible areas of participation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in reducing the risk of information threats and providing information and psychological support to the population are proposed.

The urgency of the problem considered in the study lies in the increased need to obtain innovations from domestic developments. This situation affected innovation activity, increasing the need for import substitution and ensuring technological independence. However, limited financial resources create two problems, firstly, the difficulty of choosing and assessing the feasibility and success of innovative technology and. secondly, the presence of high risks of investing in innovative projects. To solve the first problem, in the process of analyzing existing methods for assessing the commercialization of innovations, it was found that their application is more possible when choosing the most profitable innovative projects for investment, but they cannot serve as an effective tool for assessing and managing risks. The stages of the proposed methodology for assessing the commercial potential of the ACPI innovation project were determined: collecting information about the innovation project, conducting an examination of the commercialization potential of the innovation project, and compiling a report on the commercial potential of the innovation. As a method for assessing expert data, the method of scoring a project in ten sections was adopted: depth of innovation development, intellectual property, innovation market, competition, financial indicators, investments, consumers and stakeholders, project team, conditions for producing innovation, external factors, and 45 criteria were included in each section. An integral indicator of the commercial potential of innovation is proposed, on the basis of which the innovative project belongs to one of the proposed categories – risky, effective, profitable. Since the commercial risk of the developed innovation is expressed in the failure to achieve technical and scientific parameters of development and as a result of this not obtaining commercial benefits, it is proposed to manage this risk on the basis of a cascade model, which allows tracking risk situation factors, consequence factors and impact factors, which increases the effectiveness of the management program activities.
