Sažetak
Kosovo mining operations played very significant role during the past two decades. These activities cover a range of diverse environmental impact in water quality, soil, air, toxins in tailing damps and other components. The issue of environment protection has never been treated and regulated before in systematic manner. Trepça mining possess a serious public health problem due to lack of proper waste management, uncontained tailing damps and lack of facilities for treating metallurgical waste. Discharging from open tailing damps, eroding, contaminated buildings are found to be the main source of contamination of air, soil and water in Mitrovica region were the Trepça mine is located. This study addressed the current situation of metallurgical waste in Trepça. It has found a number of areas were remediation actions need to be taken in order to reduce the health hazard of community leaving there and increase the regional socio-economic stability. The Environmental Impact Assessment was undertaken to assess the human, environmental and socio- economical parameters of the environment surrounding Trepça complex area.
