Research and analysis of methods to reduce the negative impact of railway transport on the environment

V. Khrutba Olena Sorochynska L. Soloviova I. Samoilenko

The article investigates and analyzes methods for reducing the negative impact of rail transport on the environment. Various aspects of the impact of rail transport on the environment are considered. Methods for determining the content of organic matter, metabolic acidity, water-soluble salts, content of losses during calcination, pH, content of HCO3-, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl-. The object of research is the impact of rail transport on the environment. The purpose of the work – research and analysis of methods to reduce the negative impact of rail transport on the environment. Among our researches it is important to determine the principles of selection of means of deep purification of oil-contaminated soils by railway transport enterprises, as well as to clarify the possibility of predicting the sorbing capacity of solids to oil and oil products and selection of adsorbents from natural and man-made raw materials. drains from railway transport enterprises. Research methods – analytical. Quality control over the state of the environment as well as the degree of its pollution is one of the priority areas of transport enterprises in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment. To this end, the authors of the article analyzed the extent and nature of pollution and possible methods for reducing it. The main directions of introduction of new measures and means for purification of components of natural environment from oil products and toxic compounds of metals at the enterprises of railway transport of Ukraine are offered. The results of research can be recommended for implementation in the management system of environmental management at the railway transport enterprises of Ukraine.
