Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Gadabay district is rich in natural resources and mining areas such as the Ugur deposit located there are rich in gold and other precious metals. Although mining activities are important for regional economic development, they have a serious impact on the environment. This study assessed the environmental impacts of mining activities in local areas of Gadabay. Chemical analysis of soil samples and the state of vegetation cover indicate that mining activities cause soil pollution and biodiversity loss, putting the health of local communities at risk [2]. The article proposes measures to strengthen environmental monitoring and reduce environmental risks. The results will play an important role in making decisions on environmental protection for local governments and mining companies.
