| Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope Current knowledge on environmental impacts of industrial activities in Romania, particularly persistent organic pollutants
(POPs), indicates that environmental standards of the European Union are not systematically met. In our study area, additional
sources of POPs are agriculture and domestic wastes. Very scarce information is available upon environmental contaminations
and effects. In the present study, we investigated the chemical pollution and their eventual impact on the ecosystem by measuring
POPs and by using biological indicators of pollution. |
