Abstract
The current monitoring system of industrial explosions in the territory of Kuzbass is analyzed. The criteria for assessing the seismic impact of mass explosions are considered. The necessity of organizing local monitoring at open pit making mass explosions to ensure the safety of neighborhoods was noted. This will improve safety due to compliance with blasting technology and timely adjustment of decisions. It is shown that when assessing the negative impact of mass explosions on the environment, it is impossible to base only on the magnitude. The proposed change in the estimate from magnitude to intensity of seismic vibrations during local monitoring of mass explosions will allow monitoring compliance with GOST standards and moving from regional to local control for a detailed analysis of the negative impact on the environment. Variants of visualization of the results of observations in the form of constructing maps of isolines of different intensity of vibrations are proposed.
Keywords
