Abstract

In 1969 the first attempts of our compatriots to evaluate the man-caused influence upon the environment were undertaken. Exactly at that time the researches of economic damage due to air pollution as the consequence of ferrous metallurgy enterprises activity were started in Sumy. By the end of 1980-th the scientists have created the methodic groundwork of evaluating nature resources (particularly, water, land and forest resources) and damage due to negative impact upon the environment (including air, water, noise pollution and soil erosion). The introduction of ecological payments system (first approved in Sumy after the two-year experiment) was the one of the results of that scientific work. At the beginning of 1990-th the research work was stopped and then renewed only in 2001 in Russia. Exactly in 2001 the macroeconomic evaluations of population health level reduce caused by environment pollution were carried out by the initiative of the World Bank Institute. In Ukraine such researches were renewed in 2003. At that time the economic evaluation of environmental costs due to national production was carried out by the order of Ministry of Ecology of Ukraine.
