The waste dumps are represented with grinded rocks of albitite formation enriched with uranium, thorium and heavy metals. Their qualitative and quantitative characteristics are given. The calculated area of ​​the heaps is based on space images of the Sentinel-2 satellite and SRTM terrestrial surface data, which is more than 260,000 m<sup>2</sup> and serves as a source of terrestrial atmosphere dust pollution. It is shown that the radiation risk for humans is maximum near the boundary of the heaps. It was established that today a person can receive an irradiation dose of ~ 11 μber / year due to dust pollution. The maximum (albeit insignificantly small) radiation risk is expected near the dumps of the Smolinska mine, slightly lower - near the dumps of the Ingulska mine, even much lower - near the dumps of the Novokostyantynivska mine.</p> ER -
