The increase of production is directly related to the quantity and danger of the waste generated by it. At the same time, the following trend remains the general trend: “the more waste is generated, the less hazardous it is”. However, the waste accumulated over decades still poses a serious danger not only on a local situation. One of the hazard indicators of the elements that make up the waste is their technophility index. In this work, we evaluate the impact of slag dumps of metallurgical production on the state of atmospheric air in the region, taking into ac-count the technophility of the elements that make up the slag. The aim of this work is to assess the impact of slag dumps of metallurgical production on the state of air in the region, taking into account the technophility of the elements included in the slag. The subject of the study is the ef-fect of slag dumps on the state of air in the region, taking into account the technophility of the elements included in the slag. The analysis showed
that the elements included in the slag of met-allurgical production (production of ferroalloys) have a relatively low technophility index, but the accumulation of a sufficiently large amount of waste that is permanently exposed to weather-ing processes can be a threat not only at lo-
cal scales, especially due to the formation of the smallest aerosols, which can spread over tens to thousands of kilometers. The calculation of the dusting intensity indicates a value of about 280 g / s, and this is only with the static storage of waste. The composition of such dust
contains a significant amount of heavy metals, which pose a significant threat to the environment, and, consequently, the health of the population.
