The main objective of the current research is to determine the content of heavy metals from the Bistrita and Siret River banks, respectively Siret River � in Bridge Holt area, Siret River � canal UHE and Siret River- downstream confluence Bistrita/Siret. The choice of sampling points took into consideration the areas where the pollution sources are located. Established maximum values were not exceeded in the case of mercury in the soil for all three sampling points Siret River � in Bridge Holt area, Siret River � canal UHE and Siret River- downstream confluence Bistrita/Siret. Exceeding values recorded in the sampling points Siret River � in Bridge Holt area, Siret River � canal UHE and Siret River- downstream confluence Bistrita/Siret (for cadmium, nickel and chrome) resulted from discharged residual waters, industrial platforms form Bacau city and the improper storage of municipal waste.

Suspended Dust

Municipal waste storage leads to many threats to all elements of the environment. Among other things, are suspended dusts. Before closing the plot designated for storing a given portion of waste, the unprotected volatile parts contained in it are emitted, including dusts. They can be a serious pathogenic agent, transferring microtoxins, heavy metals and other pollutants. Depending on the size, they settle on the walls of the alveoli, making gas exchange difficult, causing irritation to the epidermis and mucous membranes, inflammation of the upper respiratory tracts and cause allergic diseases such as asthma. They can also cause lung, throat and larynx cancer. The aim of the research was to measure the concentration of suspended dust in the areas adjacent to the landfill. The DustTrak II dust meter was used for the tests. Dust concentrations measurements were made for orientation purposes (to plan measurements in subsequent years). The obtained results indicate that the permissible dust concentrations are exceeded even though the landfill is already closed, and the landfill top and side escarpments were being reclamation.

Waste is a product of society and one of the biggest challenges for future generations is to understand how to sustainably dispose of large amounts of waste. The main objective of this study was to determine the possibility and conditions of the decentralized combustion of non-hazardous municipal waste. The analysis of the combustion properties of a mixture of wood chips and 20–30% of municipal solid waste showed an improvement in the operating parameters of the combustion process. Analysis also confirmed that the co-combustion of dirty fuels and biomass reduced the risk of releasing minerals and heavy metals from fuel into the natural environment. Approximately 55% of the heavy metals passed into the ash. The analysis of municipal solid waste and fuel mixtures containing municipal solid waste for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons showed the risk of increasing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations in flue gases.
