Baia Mare, with its long-lasting mining and metallurgical tradition, is
one of the country’s most problematic cities in terms of historical pollution
and resulting consequences. This paper is the final chapter of a complex
three-part work and aims to present a series of air pollution effects on public
health in Baia Mare between 1980 and 2006. The first part focused on an overall
view of historical air pollution sources in Baia Mare. The second part
presented the evolution of air quality in Baia Mare and highlighted the chronic
air pollution, consisting of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia,
particulate matter, and heavy metals between 1995 and 2006. The historical
environmental (including air) pollution in Baia Mare had 3 main sources:
National Company of Precious and Nonferrous Metals (NCPNM) - Remin Corporation;
Cuprom Corporation; Romplumb Corporation. The three companies were active for
decades and, until the early 2000s, environmental protection was not a priority
of their technological process management. After the year 2000, investments in
ecological technologies were undersized, and the 2008 economic crisis affected
the companies’ activity. Air quality in Baia Mare between 1995 and 2006, as
well as prior to this period, was particularly critical due to high
concentrations in particulate matter with high lead and cadmium content, but
also due to high sulphur dioxide concentrations between 1995 and
