Introduction. The economic activity of a person entails environmental, economic and social damage to the environment. The production of goods or services is associated with the consumption of natural resources and emissions that negatively affect the ecological state. Currently, there is an acute problem of the negative impact of man on the natural environment and is the main source of deterioration in the health of living beings. In modern conditions, chemical safety is one of the priority tasks of socio-economic development. To protect the environment, it is important to take appropriate measures and develop appropriate mechanisms to promote sustainable development. For this purpose, an assessment of the environmental and economic damage from human activities is required. Materials and methods. The work employs the method for determining the prevented environmental damage, approved by the Chairman of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Environmental Protection, to perform ecological and economic assessment of the environmental impact of new environmentally friendly biodegradable additives for polyvinyl chloride based on adipic acid. Results and discussion. Polymeric materials, as the most popular and widespread, make a significant contribution to the deterioration of the environmental situation. In this regard, the main values of the prevented environmental damage from soil degradation were calculated when using new environmentally friendly additives for PVC based on adipic acid. Conclusion. The introduction of the developed additives into the composition of the developed additives provides economic and environmental efficiency in order to accelerate the biodegradation of polymer composite materials, protects against chemical pollution by hazardous toxic compounds and helps prevent soil degradation. |
