The article examines the impact of metallurgical enterprises on the environment in Ukraine. It is established that metallurgical enterprises are a powerful source of threat to the environmental safety of urban agglomerations and have a significant impact on the health of people living in the surrounding areas. The sources and consequences of the environmental impact of the metallurgical industry on the environment, as well as the composition of emissions from the main ferrous metallurgy processes into the atmosphere are considered. It has been established that the assessment of the impact of metallurgical enterprises on the environment in Ukraine is a very promising area for further research on the level of environmental safety. An urgent issue is the development and improvement of the air pollution control system aimed at a certain type of anthropogenic sources. In order to ensure constant monitoring, improve the performance of enterprises, meet the requirements of stakeholders, promptly respond to violations, and reduce the negative impact on the environment, the article offers practical recommendations for reducing the negative impact. These recommendations relate to the introduction of comprehensive monitoring of metallurgical production, as well as improving the quality of environmental information in the field of environmental protection, which will lead to an improvement in the quality of public administration in a broader sense.

The article is devoted to the problem of assessment and management of environmental risks in the context of the formation of ecological and economic system of coke production. The technological process at the coke plant is due to significant environmental pollution due to man-made load, which poses a serious danger to the environment. Therefore, the study of the impact of coke production on the natural environment in Ukraine is important and relevant. In order to ensure constant control, increase the efficiency of enterprises, meet the requirements of stakeholders, respond quickly to violations, reduce the negative impact on the environment, the proposed procedure for identifying environmental aspects and assessing their impact. Criteria of significance and principles of assessment of ecological aspects are established. These principles are the basis of risk management. They establish the characteristics of effective and efficient risk management, reflect its values and explain its purpose. Therefore, these principles must be taken into account when creating the structure and process of risk management of production. Adherence to these principles will allow production to manage the impact of uncertainty about achieving its goals. The objectives of risk management and opportunities of environmental management system processes are also defined, the objectives of risk management are identified and the criteria of identification and assessment of risks and opportunities are proposed. The procedure for assessing environmental risks, which is based on quantitative calculations, is considered. Based on the developed procedure, a register of environmental aspects of the coke plant has been developed. Assessment of the impact of the metallurgical industry on the environmental situation in Ukraine is a promising area of further research to optimize the level of environmental safety of metallurgical enterprises.
