One of the most important sectors in the Romanian beverage industry is beer production. In 2015 this sector brought revenues of 533 million Euros to the state budget. The Romanian consume an average of 80 liters per capita so that Romania ranks 7th in the hierarchy of European beer-consuming countries according to the Brewers of Europe. The largest beer consumers from Europe in 2015 were the Czechs with 143 L per capita followed by Germans (106 L per capita) and Austrians (105 L per capita). In our case 97% of bee...

The paper is dedicated to the development of system of water objects pollution monitoring. An efficient study of the environment situation and giving appropriate solutions related to its improvement require adequate information, obtained from a large number of various parameters measurements. Conducting of analysis more than 3-4 times per day is more economically efficient if automatic systems for environment monitoring are used. Such system of water pollution monitoring proposed by authors consists of: computing ...

The environmental investment programmes are targeted at the implementation of sustainable development activities, maintaining the quality of environment and biological diversity and ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources. In recent decade, Latvia has been one of the most active among the new EU Member States in the acquisition of the EU financial resources and other financial instruments for the implementation of the environmental policy targets in Latvia, especially in the spheres of environmental prot...

The 21st century presents us with enormous challenges related to environmental protection. This applies to both the citizens of our globe, businesses, institutions as well as regions and countries. Contemporary companies increasingly focus on sustainable development and corporate social responsibility, and report their actions contributing to improvement and protection of the environment.

The air pollution in Polish cities causes the formation of the phenomenon of smog. The reason for this phenomenon is mainly low society awareness of environmental protection and the methods of preventing the use of low-quality fuels in the home fireplaces. At the same time the development of the automotive industry contributes to this negative phenomenon. The air pollution in large and small Polish cities was analysed. The examples of cities fighting against the smog were also given. The research of the air qualit...

Even if EU traditional agriculture is based on a considerable part on livestock enterprises activities, and many products are sustaining the traditional activities, livestock production is the largest source of greenhouse gases, high water usage, driver of deforestation, loss of biodiversity, land use, European Union (EU) is the biggest food importer and the second food exporter, spend around 40% of its budget on Common Agricultural Policy in detriment of other sectors. This paper work aims to emphasize the impact...

The issue of preserving and protecting forests in the face of increasing human activity was presented as very up-to-date. Irrational human activity and fires have led to deforestation of places, once completely covered with forests. The area of tropical forests in Africa has decreased by 70 percent, South America ? by 60 percent, only 8 percent of Chinese territory is covered with forest. The article briefly examines the process of degradation of forest resources in the global economy. This study explores the long...

In the classification of natural disasters and hazards that occur all over the world, landslides are in the fifth place, both as far as number of casualties and material losses. Landslides are processes that lead to natural disasters or technical failures, the consequences of which threaten life, health and property of people. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the risk seems to be a very important issue in preventing effects of this natural disasters. This paper therefore discuss the causes of landslides wit...

Kakanj is located in the center of Sarajevo-Zenica basin in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Coal mining began in the mid 19th century. Several underground mines in the area of Trstionica started operating after the end of World War II. Subsidence caused by underground mining are almost always localized on the surface above the underground area with a zone of influence within the area of the mine. Vertical subsidence could cause significant problems and economic losses, but also the positive effects on the environment, as ...

The air is a mixture of different gases and particular matter, which make up for the earth?s atmosphere. They allow for the existence of all life on the earth. With the increase in population and the progress of development, more and more substance of natural origin and on general not occurring in the nature, which may affect harmfully on the environment, gets into the air. Dusts and gases, flowing in excess into the atmosphere, cause local and even global pollution. Since the beginning of 2017 all the time in Pol...

As a result of the massive industrialization, the eastern area of the Jiu Valley presents a significant degradation on the environment factors especially on the soil and water. The influence of mining activities on the environment begins with the prospecting and mining activity of the mining deposits and increases with the development of the productive activities. In the Eastern part of the Jiu Valley there are two active mining fields of a total of seven. The choice of the sites for the mining perimeters and the ...

At uranium ore deposits surface waters and local streams are important for the environment. Because these are affected by uranium-bearing acid mine drainage and dissolved uranium is moderated by dilution and sorption uptake by stream sediments. Depend on the mineral alteration and in the case of the iron existence, acid drainage forms in the streams. In this case surface waters and streams become a significant mechanism for mobilization of suspended uranium particles. The aim of this study is to assess the acid mi...
