Abstract

Now, in order to achieve sustainable development in the country and to prevent pollution and environmental degradation, all development and development activities in the country are taking into account environmental considerations. On the basis of this, before the implementation of many development and development projects, the impacts and consequences of such plans are identified and predicted on the environment of the region, and the necessary measures are taken to control and reduce them, and this is generally done through an assessment The environmental impacts of development projects are based on existing laws in the country. Saratoga Matrix was used to assess the environmental impacts of Qinarjeh Takab iron ore production unit design, and to analyze the two options for implementation and non-implementation of the project in two phases of construction and operation. In this study, the effects of the non-implementation option were evaluated with the option of implementation of the project, and in the executive option, the effects of all project activities on the environment were studied. The focus of attention in the environmental assessment is on the definitive effects, but the potential effects of the index are also considered important and studied. The results of the effects in the construction phase (-120) and in the exploitation phase (+142) indicate that the implementation and operation of the Qinarjeh Takab iron ore production unit have positive effects and, given the predominance of definite effects, the micro products of the unit production project Iron cane iron Takab is applicable.
