Abstract
Teghut tailings as a representative of the general condition and risks of tailings in Armenia are studied accordingly, we have made laboratory (solid material and water composition) and social analysis and we have concluded that the high amount of hazardous heavy metals in these tailings spread to nearby territories and contaminate the soil, water and air, enter the food chain, and adversely affect the human health. At first glance, these problems seem unsolvable. However, correction measures must be implemented in order to reduce the pollution.
