The issue of minimizing the negative impacts of industrial enterprises on the different components of the environment is becoming an increasingly discussed topic in many expert and scientific forums. Despite the fact, that large industrial enterprises are trying to comply with applicable legal standards, using of modern technologies and preventative measures to prevent the occurrence of emergency events, it is not possible to completely exclude the occurrence of these emergency events and their negative consequenc...

The explored area of Banat, located in NE Serbia, with its geological and geothermal characteristics, represents an area with extraordinary ecological potential. The geological structure of Banat is represented by various complexes of Neogene and Quaternary deposits. The Neogene sediments are mostly composed of sandstone, shale, marlstone, sand and gravel. Mesozoic igneous complex is represented by dacites, andesites and basalts. During Quaternary a relatively thick succession of genetically different types of sed...

Twenty eight onshore mud volcanoes of the Kerch-Taman province were analysed to evaluate their current contribution to the trace-element budget of the landscape. The study area belongs to the Indol?Kuban Trough, where the anoxic marine mudrocks of the Maykop Formation were deposited in the Oligocene ? Early Miocene in the northern deep-water margin of the Parathetis ocean. The Maykopian Fm. mudrocks are main sources of solid matter for numerous mud volcanoes of the region. Mud masses (30 samples) and mud volcanic ...

Due to the fact that the printing industry is one of the largest production departments in the EU, its impact on the environment cannot be neglected. The printing activity is based on the use of appropriate substances and chemical preparations. They occur mainly at the stage of preparing printing material and subsequent printing. Chemical and photochemical processes occurring during printing, the use of water and air for cooling machines and devices as well as production wastes - these are factors that may affect ...

As a basic component of the environment, the air, vitally contributes to life maintenance and society development, through its physical and chemical properties.

There is environmental quality as a one of the factors determining the quality of life in EU countries. EU countries use a combination of different tools of economic policy to ensure environmental (as well as economic) quality. However, environmental protection cannot be implemented without financial support. The most important tools of economic policy, already traditional used, are economic tools, which could improve the quality of the environment and quality of life. Environmental protection has become a part of...

Product manufacturing continuously increases despite of complicated relations and unstable world economics. Various forecasts of development in industry show that in future the consumption should not decrease; on the contrary, it should slightly increase. This happens even despite of minimization in industry. But production processes present environmental charging for any company, acting in given sector. Treatment of waste is important for producers of all kind of waste, as well as for consumers that are producing...

The paper presents and analyses different solutions to determine the alignment to be taken into account in designing forestry roads in order to prevent and remove the effects of natural calamities. The proposed solutions take into account the area of the forestry roads in order to integrate them harmoniously in the region landscape. The paper also presents a case study concerning the solutions adopted to remove the effects caused by the natural calamities in the summer of 2016 on certain forestry roads in the Timi...

The construction of small hydro power plants is a solution for obtaining cheap electric energy, but it also has a negligible impact on the environment. What raises serious problems is the location of some of these micro-hydropower plants, including the Buda and Capra brooks, as well as their way of execution. Valea Argesului area on the upper course, is recognized for its biodiversity and landscape heritage value. Changes to vegetation through abusive deforestation, biodiversity reduction by habitat segmentation a...

Many countries have no waste separation and mixed household waste accumulated mostly in landfills could pose serious environmental risk if landfills do not fulfill the requirements. The risk becomes much higher with increasing of hazardous components quantities in household waste (having hazardous properties and containing toxic chemicals). These include batteries, fluorescent lamps, chlorine-containing plastics, aromatic compounds and many others. Some hazardous waste are toxic themselves (waste oils) and some ar...

As it is known from literary sources among environmental polluting agents, environmental pollution with heavy metals influences the most negatively at alive biological systems and human health. It was discovered that the plants express selective sensitivity to heavy metals. Our goal was to study such important pollution agents of environment as heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cu). As it is known the pollen is a male gametophyte, the biological function of which is to participate in pollination process. It was discovered tha...

Paper deals with problems of evaluation of limit states at determining of value of technical objects, who have significant impact on environment. Trucks belong typically to objects with environmental impact and the legal framework influences and limits the possibility of their usage. One of the important input values for determination of vehicle value is the length of its operating life. Currently the object limit state is considered, when the object is not able to fulfil the function, or the level of functional p...

The worlwide ascending demographic development automatically determined a growing demand of meat and other derived products from animals raised in livestock farms. Therefore, taking into consideration the fact that, every year, the need for animals food has increased, every compound feed factory (CFF) aims to obtain diversified formulas of final products, depending on the breed and the age of the animals that will be fed. To resist on the competitive market with this profile of production, all compound feeds facto...

The study aims to present the interspecific relationships between fish and cormorants from Comana Pond and Putu-Greci ponds.

Appropriate protection of the environment, as well as of the most vulnerable environmental factor, water, is impossible without the achievement of a civilization's progress in all its aspects (economic, social, etc.). Also, the lack of adequate economic support may lead to the impossibility of carrying out actions to protect and conserve water resources. Activities from eastern part of the Jiu Valley, constituted as integrated parts of economic growth and development, invariably degrade, through the specificity of...
