The Impact of the Bituminous Coal Combustion from the Thermoelectric Power Plant from Paroseni on the Environment of Jiu Valley

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The Jiu Valley Basin is one of the most important coal mining areas in Romania. Other industries, including a power plant, are also well developed in this area. Therefore, pollution is very high. One of the most polluted environmental compounds is the air. High mountains surround the Jiu Valley, which makes difficult the air refreshing. For this reason, it is very important to discuss the air pollution and especially that produced by dust. Since the industrial companies are concentrated in a small area, it is very difficult to identify and prosecute the polluting one. The present paper aims to identify the sources of air pollution, especially among the mining companies, because the power plant is considered the most important polluting agent in this area.

Algorithm for Assesing Soil Rehabilitation of Sterile Dumps

“…Following the standard procedures has been identified these components. Minerals found in the average coal sample correspond to the chemical composition reported in previous studies [20,21,22]. Low mineral content is proven by small peaks present in the diffractogram ( fig.…”

Correlations between the air pollution and the rainfall composition in Jiului Valley area

“…The dust is generated mainly by the thermoelectric power plants' works, as well as by the coal mining fields. These dusts are spread on preferential directions by the winds dominantly blowing from SE/NW and NE/SW (Rebrişoreanu et al, 2002). Beginning from these dusts, the rainfall from the area became polluted too.…”
