We present the articles of the third issue of scientific journal "Mining Science and Technology” (Russia) for 2024:
A systematic approach to evaluating environmental safety in metro operations, based on modelling the development of defects in tunnel structures under the influence of hydrogeological factors, will help organize existing information on potential accidents and develop monitoring methods and measures to minimize risks that compromise the environmental sustainability of underground transport infrastructure.

🔍 Why are waters in granite quarries more dangerous than others?
A new study of the granitoids in the Ob-Zaisan fold zone (Novosibirsk Oblast) has revealed alarming findings:
💧 The radioactivity of water in granite quarries is 100–1000 times higher than in other rock types!
📊 Record-breaking concentrations:
❗️Uranium (²³⁸U) – up to 1.4 mg/dm³
❗️Thorium (²³²Th) – up to 2.16·10⁻³ mg/dm³
❗️Radon (²²²Rn) – up to 5000 Bq/dm³ (in areas with granitoid development)
❓What’s the Reason?
The high radioactivity is linked to mineral accumulators (monazite, xenotime, fluorite), which are particularly abundant in the Barlak granitoid complex.
🔬 Key Conclusion:
Granite massifs are natural sources of radiation, requiring:
✅ Regular water monitoring.
✅ Radiation risk assessments.
✅ Special protective measures for quarry workers.
