THE EFFECT OF WASTE MANAGEMENT OF OIL DRILLING AND GOLD MINING EXTRACTION IN THE YAKUTIA ARCTIC (RUSSIAN)

ABSTRACT :: The Arctic region of Yakutia in Russia has witnessed significant industrial activities, particularly in the sectors of oil drilling and gold mining extraction. As a consequence of these economic endeavors, waste management has emerged as a crucial environmental concern. This research delves into investigating the effects of waste management practices associated with oil drilling and gold mining extraction on the fragile Arctic ecosystem of Yakutia. This research examines the regulatory frameworks and policies governing waste management in the Yakutia Arctic to evaluate their effectiveness in ensuring environmental protection. By identifying the gaps and challenges in the existing waste management practices, the study aims to propose sustainable solutions that can mitigate the environmental impacts and promote responsible industrial activities in the region. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to a better understanding of the environmental consequences of oil drilling and gold mining in the Yakutia Arctic, thus fostering informed decision-making and policy formulation for a greener and more sustainable future in this ecologically sensitive area.
