The problem of assessing the economic consequences from chemical pollution of surface water

Purpose. Analysis of domestic and foreign experience in solving the problem chemical pollution surface waters improving existing "Methodology for calculating amount compensation damages caused to state as a result violations legislation on protection rational use water resources." Methods. Information analysis, theoretical calculation, systems analysis. Results. In European countries, assessment economic consequences is based provisions Directive 2004/35 / EC "On environmental liability with regard prevention remedying damage". The implementation this carried out by creating system "polluter pays" principle not only non-compliance limit discharge pollutants into bodies, but also violation properties nature aquatic ecosystems their restoration. It established that all forms damage can be eliminated using mechanism responsibility. For effective, one or more sources must identified, specific calculable, causal link found between identified pollution. addition, an appropriate tool large-scale, diffuse pollution, when it impossible establish negative impacts actions inaction certain individuals. Based analysis national regulations methodological approaches assessing other algorithm proposed take account levels acute lethal toxicity return waters. Conclusions.. impact Article 16 WFD 2000/60 "Strategies against pollution", particular paragraph 1.2.6 Annex V "Surface status" emphasizes " obtain data chronic effects representatives "basic set taxa" - algae, crustaceans fish.
