Environmental quality is a feature of the regulatory socio-natural relations, the functional significance of which lies in the ability to reflect the optimal processes of environmental safety. Philosophical and methodological interpretation of the problem, has the character to give solutions to the dialectical contradiction between the state of a natural element in biosphere, and the form that enables it to satisfy the needs of the society. Ecological and economic approach is based on identifying the environmental characteristics and interpreting their overwhelming majority, in quantitative terms. That is a problem of philosophical interpretation of qualitative and quantitative nature of the performance indicators. It is assumed that this approach should be supplemented with a qualitative assessment of the individual natural objects and reflect how the socio- economic significance of used and intended to use commercially valuable natural resources, and their system (bio- and geo-technological) status in the Biosphere complex. This approach can develop the methodological basis of a comprehensive assessment of the state of natural components, effective in an environment where nature a limited source of economic resources and the problem of optimization of social and natural cannot be reduced to optimize the quality of natural objects only by improving their economic performance.
