- Abstract
The processing and storage of waste from the extractive industry in Romania was in many cases without preventive measures, due to the lack of legal framework, risk is affecting environmental quality. Therefore, currently several of abandoned mining sites have a significant impact on human health and the environment. The main impact on the environment derived from mining tailings ponds and waste dumps and preparation plants the decommissioned. The risk of soil and groundwater consisting of a variety of pollutants, in particular the heavy metals ions, cyanide, hydrocarbons, acidity, salinity, etc. The infiltration of contaminants into the soil and groundwater and surface air emissions has also some serious risk to human quality and environmental factors. This paper proposes the risk assessment and eco-toxicological effects they may have sites abandoned the mining industry in Romania on the health of the population and the environment.
