CAUSAL INFLUENCE OF STOCHASTIC EMISSION OF GREENHOUSE GASES GENERATED BY THE ROMANIAN MINING INDUSTRY

The impact of extractive industries on the environment can be examined with reference to the role of mineral resources in the economy and the issues associated to cycles of mining. In recent decades, mining industry became important in terms of its relationship with the environment. Thus, effective management of resources and maintaining ecological balance is the new objectives that guide decisions in this area, Fuel combustion is the largest source of emissions to air. To these are added particulate emissions of different compositions depending on the type of operation. Note that these particles may contain heavy metals. Mining (in career) and stabilized waste dumps contribute to this type of pollution. Oil and gas contributes to air pollution by hydrocarbons. For mining, the greatest problems arise with regard to air pollution at work. From this perspective, this essay presents relevant aspects found through the study of interdependence of the various factors that influence emissions of greenhouse gases generated by the Romanian mining industry.
