Methodological Basis of Ecological Safety Standards for the Technogenic Impact of Mineral Resource Exploitation

A new methodological approach to the development of biological and technological safety standards for the impact of underground mining on the natural biota is proposed.     

Ecological problems and the methodology of solving them in a developing technocratic society

The general methodological approach to the conservation of Earth’s natural biota in a developing civilization based on mineral resources of the lithosphere is substantiated. The principles of interaction between the technosphere and biosphere that ensure their combined development are formulated on the basis of the concept of coevolution of antagonistic systems.
