Abstract:

Combined with the basic principle of Environmental Economics and market value, this paper evaluates the environmental loss brought by mineral resources exploitation in Hebei province from atmospheric pollution, water pollution, solid waste & gangue and geologic hazards. The environmental loss brought by mineral resources exploitation in 2007 is estimated to be 2.096 billion Yuan (RMB), 0.15% of GDP. Mining sector is not a major source for the severe environmental pollution, which comes from other industries. Environmental loss from mining amounts to 1.80% of the gross production, which is still underestimated. The importance of protecting mine environment can not be ignored.

Key words: mineral resources, mining, environmental loss, Hebei province

摘要：

将环境经济学的基本规律与市场价值相结合，从大气污染、水污染、固体废弃物和尾矿占用土地以及地质灾害四大类分别核算矿产资源开采所引起生态环境破坏的经济损失。估算得出2007年度河北省因采矿业造成的环境经济损失为20.96亿元，占当年地区生产总值的0.15%。研究结果表明：虽然采矿业并不是全省较为严峻的环境形势产生的主要诱因，其他工业部门造成的环境污染实际上起着主导作用，但就采矿业本身来说，其带来的环境损失已占据全部产值的1.80%，且就评估过程来说，评估值是被低估的，环境经济损失的实际比例会更大，因而矿山环境保护的重要性仍不容忽视。
