This figure is the map outline of a gamma field (h ¼ 5 cm) in vicinity of the tailing ponds of Koshkar-Ata. The presented figure determines the nature of the horizontal distribution of radioactive contamination over the surface of the exposed part of the tailing ponds of Koshkar-Ata. In this area, a pedestrian gamma survey was performed measuring the equivalent dose rate of gamma radiation at heights of 1 m and 5 cm from the surface.

Preface
The monograph contains a systematic presentation of the environmental situation in the territories located near the tailing ponds of Koshkar-Ata (Mangystau Region, Kazakhstan) and discusses efforts to develop rehabilitation measures, taking into account the soil-climatic features of the area. It provides the results of the analysis of the negative influence of the tailings on the soil and vegetation cover on the near-ground atmospheric layer and groundwa
