INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED INDUSTRIAL SITES FROM EASTERN JIU VALLEY
Abstract
Economic activities in Jiu Valley, as integrated components of major geographical entities, are constantly degrading the area?s natural heritage by depositing large quantities of waste products resulted from coal extraction and preparation, abandoned buildings and poorly refurbished sites. In this respect, the current paper addresses these areas by identifying and classifying the potentially contaminated/contaminating industrial sites in Eastern Jiu Valley, depending on the type of activity carried out on site. The paper also presents a preliminary assessment of the quality of waters that percolated the landfills, dissolving or trapping substances harmful for the environment. All issues addressed will represent a starting point for future research to assess the remediation of contaminated sites in Eastern Jiu Valley, remediation that must be regarded as part of sustainable development and development of communities at every administrative level. This can be the basis for improving environment quality, equity and social cohesion and economic growth by reducing the inherent vulnerabilities for maintaining welfare of the population, increasing the integration of industrial sites in natural landscape, reducing the gap between development levels of different regions and the downshift of less privileged regions.
