The paper present aspects regarding the identification and evaluation of the environmental hazards and risks of two former industrial sites having significant ground contamination related to chemical works, methodological and mechanical production. The main aim of the study is the reduction of the risks to soil and waters, based on the risk assessment, remedial actions were proposed.

Baia Mare town is situated in Northern side of Romania and it is well known for the old mining activities deployed in the area. The hazardous waste landfills positioning directly on the soil without other protection it is known as being a source of pollution for the underground, and the wastes resulted from ore processing are included in the hazardous waste category, due to their hazardous substances content and their large quantities. This study

Sites contaminated with hazardous material are a topical and urgent problem all over the world. Risk based remediation is used to develop maximum safety cost effective sanitation methods for future land users. The analyzed site lays within the North Western region of Romania, in the vicinity of Baia Mare, the main city in Maramures County. Taking into account the former activities conducted on the site, as well as future demolishing works and future

Abstract. The paper presents significant aspects regarding risk management related to wastes in the Romanian mining industry. There are studied two subjects of interest: the waste heaps and tailing dams, intending to perform a preliminary analysis of the risks induced upon the environment. Best practice environmental management requires mitigation of risks of environmental damage from unexpected incidents occurring in mining industry. Consequently,

The paper presents the waste management of tailing dam facilities from Baia Mare area, Romania, an old mining region where the extraction and the processing of gold-silver ore and the complex ore is a tradition. The main characteristic of tailing dam facilities from that area is that they are in the final phase of their life cycle, respectively in the closure, post-closure or conservation phase. This is one of the reasons why implementing the suitable

Near-infrared spectroscopy can play a key role in establishing the mineralogical composition of objects and supporting other physical data obtained by complementary observational techniques such as adaptive optics, radar and photometry. The objective of our survey was asteroids that present large variations in their light curves. We report observations for asteroids (854) Frostia, (1333) Cevenola and (3623) Chaplin carried out in the 0.8-2.5 μm
