Ecology-economic estimation of damage from water pollution

Abstract

The society is suffering significant economic losses due to the incidence of human contamination with environmental pollution. There are two main steps to be taken when assessing damage and planning security measures: 1) direct calculation of various financial and other types of damage, and 2) marketing analysis with minimization of the cost-to-damage ratio. In the latter case, it is necessary to have not only a statistical database of pollution and morbidity monitoring, but also an acceptable optimization model with identified risks of exposure to hazardous pollution factors. In the approach proposed in the article, the procedure for estimation of damage and cost optimization is limited only by the granulation composition of mineral fertilizers and the water protection effect of the prolonged (slow) action of larger granules.
