ASSESSING THE QUALITY ON NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DRILLING EXPLOITATION AND MINING-SITE ABANDONMENT PHENOMENA. THE IALOMITA SUBCARPATHIAN AREA/ROMANIA
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper is a short presentation of work field results on environment impact of drilling exploitations and mining sites abandoned in the Ialomita subcarpathian area. As a consequence of the industrial activities development, the quality of the environment elements was significantly influenced and modified, frequently exceeding the natural self-regulation capabilities. The environment has undergone many major transformations, especially within the mining and drilling areas within the subcarpathian landscapes, intensely morphologically fragmented and with potential slope instability. The subcarpathian area between the Cricov and Provita valleys comes forth with geologic information from the second half of the 19th century, the research being amplified after 1900, information related to the petroliferous importance of the area and to the presence of the energetic coals.
