The impact of hazardous waste on people and the environment from mining is one of the most significant global environmental challenges. This effect is currently compounded due to an increase in the intensity of mining, with the development of less rich deposits and the transition to open pit mining. Open mining brings significant cost reduction compared to shaft mining. But at the same time open pits completely destroy the surrounding areas of the landscape forming an open vast crater and various sources of industrial waste and dumps (SIWD). These sources often include heavy metals, acid precipitates (solutions of sulfur oxides), hydrocarbons and other organic chemicals. The development of methods for monitoring the state of vegetation in the interests of monitoring the impact of SIWD on the environment is the main goal of the work. The paper presents an analytical review of the main mechanisms of the influence of typical SIWD harmful emissions on vegetation and analyzes possible methods and approaches that allow using the capabilities of satellite Earth remote sensing systems to identify changes in vegetation caused by the influence of SIWD.
Keywords: Earth satellite observation, information technology, remote monitoring, forest resources, industrial waste and dumps, hazardous waste
