Space rockets are regularly launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The ecological impact of territories affected by the consequences of space rocket activities on the environment is a significant concern. On July 27, 2006, the Dnepr rocket was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, resulting in an abnormal situation and its emergency fall. The rocket fuel components, heptyl, and amyl, led to decontamination and reclamation activities. However, the self-restoration of soil and vegetation cover is currently in the earliest stages. Consequently, an assessment of the remote consequences of the accidental fall of the Dnepr launch vehicle for environmental objects was conducted. The study involved eco-toxicological characterization of habitat conditions, assessment of species diversity, determination of key morphophenetic indicators, and the genetic status of indicator species as the main parameters. The results revealed an increased level of genotoxicity in soils at the accident site. While there were deviations from the norm in some morphophenetic and cytogenetic parameters in indicator animals, they were not critical for their existence in this territory. Possibly, at the physiological level, they exhibit a high enough adaptation potential and compensatory mechanism.
从哈萨克斯坦的拜科努尔航天发射场定期发射太空火箭。受太空火箭活动后果影响的地区对环境的生态影响是一个重大问题。2006 年 7 月 27 日，从拜科努尔航天发射场发射了一枚“第聂伯”火箭，导致异常情况和紧急坠落。火箭燃料成分庚烷和戊基导致了去污和开垦活动。然而，土壤和植被覆盖的自我恢复目前处于最初阶段。因此，对“第聂伯”运载火箭意外坠落对环境物体的远程后果进行了评估。这项研究涉及栖息地条件的生态毒理学特征描述、物种多样性评估、关键形态表型指标的确定以及指示物种的遗传状况作为主要参数。结果表明，事故现场土壤的遗传毒性水平升高。虽然在指示动物的一些形态表型和细胞遗传学参数中存在偏离正常值的情况，但对它们在该地区的存在并不构成关键影响。可能在生理水平上，它们表现出足够高的适应潜力和补偿机制。
