This article considers the conditions and prospects of ecological and radioecological researches of mining and metallurgical productions. Departments of Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combine participate in anthropogenic pollution of environment. The following activities were carried out for the qualitative assessment of importance of this participation: ecological control of soil and air; ecological control of drinking, sewage and underground waters; assessment of annual total effective dose in geotechnological mines, production facilities and nearby settlements; analysis of state and rational usage of water resources; assessment of anthropogenic influence of gold extraction plants on environment; status and methods of lands recultivation; assessment of anthropogenic participation in uranium production and tailing dunps. Results of multi-year observations are summarized along with definition of ways of improvement of ecological condition in the area of activities of Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combine. There is estimated the correspondance of final products (uranium) to international requirements, which are presented in limitation of specific activity.
