摘要：The anthropogenic impact of human activity has a significant influence not only on the incidence rate of the coal region, but also causes economic losses in the gross regional product. An important aspect of environmental diseases is the financial and economic losses that fall both on the state and the region, and directly on the citizens themselves. In the article, the assessment of the environmental factor impact on the coal region population health and economy is carried out by calculating the costs of treating diseases caused by unfavorable environmental conditions and determining the GRP losses associated with diseases and low life expectancy. At the same time, improving the quality of life of the population presupposes the conservation of a healthy human habitat, the preservation of human as a resource for the development of the region. In this regard, it is proposed to reduce the environmental load by implementing a concept aimed at improving regional environmental security by increasing investments in fixed assets related to environmental protection and rational use of natural resources; diversification of production by the transition mainly to manufacturing industries; increasing the environmental liability of managers of business entities, including through the action of compensatory mechanisms.
