The impact of industrial waste dumps on the environment in the area of Moldova

Abstract

In the area of Moldova there are a number of industrial warehouses with a special impact on the environment due to poor management of the maintenance process. Landfills come from steel plants, mining, power plants, industrial products factories, etc. Representative in this case are the waste dump from the Galati steel plant, the tailings dumps from the mining operations in the north of the Eastern Carpathians, the ash dump from CET Holboca Iași, etc. The paper summarizes a series of research on the impact on the environment and in particular on surface and groundwater by these polluting objectives.
