Abstract
The authors point out in this paper that current environmental changes (changes in climatic parameters, air quality, method of land use, cons umption patterns, increased exposure to pollutants, etc.) had complicated the relation between residential and rural external environmenta l adding costs to maintain an acceptable quality of life for residents. The main factors that change the natural attributes of the environment in Galati are: industrial activities (Steel mill, shipyard construction, food and beverage industry, textile industry, chem ical industry, oil processing etc., waste products that are either thrown into the Danube or on the street s / parks / woods, etc., transport vehicles). While everyone recognizes the fact that i ndustrial activities are bad for human health and even more to the natural environment, they are still consider it a necessary evil. The methods used such as statistical analysis, comparative studies, historical method allowed the authors to include evolutionary phenomenon. This paper is a systematic investigation of the phenomenon from the ma in polluters. Impurities resulting from iron and steel are made primarily of dust that occu r in all phases of industrial processing: the transport and storage of coal and ores, from their burning coke ovens, blast furnaces and steelworks, the blowing air. May result in metal powders, compounds of fluorine, arsenic, carcinogenic polycyclic condensed to xins. At the Integrated Steel factory in Galati, the quantitie s of contaminants discharged in to the atmosphere are extremely important.
