This article presents studies on the accumulation of waste from the functioning of the bauxite mining industry. In particular, the problem of industrial waste management, such as dumps of substandard bauxite, which were accumulated as a result of the activities of the Turgai Bauxite Ore Management (TBOM), is considered. Statistical data on the characteristics of bauxite mining dumps are presented. The chemical composition of bauxite mining dumps has been studied and analyzed, and the impact of the resulting dumps of substandard bauxite on the environment has been considered. The environmental risks associated with the formed bauxite mining dumps are considered and studied. Analytical studies of the negative anthropogenic impact of bauxite mining dumps, in particular, the effect of their chemical composition on soil pollution, surface waters, and the atmosphere, as well as the direct effect of toxic substances on human health, are presented. As a result of the research, in order to minimize the impact of substandard bauxite dumps on the environment and public health, a number of measures have been proposed to reduce the anthropogenic impact of accumulated bauxite mining waste. Based on the results of the analysis, conclusions are formulated about the need for further research in the form of physico-chemical studies of accumulated bauxite mining dumps with the subsequent development of an ecological technology for their processing.
