The specificity of the location of the RTH flotation tailings pit is reflected in the fact that it is surrounded by both old mining operations (old flotation tailings pit, Visoki Planiri) and mining facilities that are still in use (Bor flotation, Bor smelter, old Borski mine, etc.). Accordingly, it can be stated that there is a multi-year impact of these buildings on the location in question, as well as on the environment. Considering the characteristics of the facilities themselves - the RTH flotation tailings pond, it can be stated that the active surfaces of the flotation tailings pond (beach, dams) are the largest emitters of polluting substances at the site. Also, in the immediate vicinity is the Borska Reka as well as populated areas. Based on this, it is necessary to establish adequate monitoring for monitoring all medium, in order to monitor the quality of the living environment.
