【 摘 要 】

The paper presents the results of ecological and geographical studies of the Baikal region and Mongolia to identify the negative industrial impact on the environment. The industrial impact on the environment depends on the nature of its territorial location, extraction and consumption of raw material volume, materials and energy, waste recycling and completion degree of energy production cycles. We analyzed location of the leading industries and its impact on the environment. The identified industrial centers have their own influence on different natural environments. Each industry and individual industrial facilities "invade" the environment and have a different features and impact, including on human health. The problem of the industrial impact on the environment is global, and makes it important to study this topic. During the research we took into account the specifics of industrial development of the territories, as well as the existing ecological situation around Lake Baikal, and based on theoretical and methodological approaches to socioeconomic geography. Zoning and mapping approaches we used in this research. Based on the analysis of the location of industrial facilities and their impact on various natural environments, the areas of maximum and local impact on the environment within the boundaries of the considered territories were identified. Ecological-geographical studies of the areas where industrial objects were located enabled an overall assessment of anthropogenic impact both on the environment and on certain natural environments, taking into account the demographic pressure. The territorial features of the heterogeneous impact on the natural environment are determined by the unevenness of economic development of the territory.
