AbstractAbout the AuthorsReferences
This article focuses on the geoecological assessment of territories affected by oil spills in the Republic of Bashkortostan from 2017 to 2023. The authors identify the main causes and negative consequences of such incidents, including technical failures, non-compliance with safety regulations, and human factors. The study includes an analysis of statistical data characterizing the number and types of spills by year and administrative regions, which highlights the most vulnerable areas, such as Tuymazinsky and Ufimsky districts, as well as the cities of Ufa and Oktyabrsky. Special attention is given to the impact of spills on soil and landscape cover. The authors note significant changes in the morphological, physicochemical, and microbiological properties of soils, leading to ecosystem degradation. An analysis of soil types and landscapes shows that oil spills most frequently occur on leached and dark gray soils, as well as on elevated and undulating plains. The article emphasizes the importance of comprehensive geoecological assessments for planning the region’s sustainable development and developing effective measures to prevent such incidents in the future. The authors provide recommendations for improving safety and monitoring measures, as well as the need to implement modern technologies for cleaning contaminated areas. In conclusion, the study underscores the necessity of continuous monitoring and assessment of environmental conditions to minimize the risk of ecological disasters and ensure public safety.
