Evaluating the quality of the environment and groundwater in an ecosystem characterized by seasonal growth and development of tourism activities

Abstract

The project aims to assess surface water quality and soil in areas with predominantly tourist activities. Has conducted a study on pollution of the average water and soil in the area are Baile Olanesti, Calimanesti - Caciulata, Voineasa, Obarsia Lotrului, Govora, localities Mihaesti and Costesti and Transalpina (altitude 1700 m, altitude 2145 m - Peak. Lespezi, altitude 2135m - Step Urdele, Ranca, Novaci). In general it has been found avery small amount of soil pollution by heavy metals (nickel, copper, cadmium, lead, zinc, chromium), and sulfates. Found pollution potentially significant with total petroleum hydrocarbons (downstream of Baile Olanesti, 4 km upstream cap and Voineasa) and significant pollution with total petroleum hydrocarbons (upstream of Baile Olanesti and 4 km downstream of Obarsia Lotrului). This pollution is due undeveloped parking spaces and parking cars on carpet plant. Pollution is a registered cumulative effect of seasonal tourist activities and activities (household and industrial) deployed in those areas.
