<strong>First</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on MOLDAVIAN RISKS - FROM GLOBAL TO LOCAL SCALE 16-19 May 2012, Bacau, Romania PREVENT MAJOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVING HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES Daniel-Catalin Felegeanu, Valentin Nedeff “Vasile Alecsandri“University of Bacau, Romania Corresponding author: catalin.felegeanu@isubacau.ro Abstract: Worldwide are economic operators who use in the production process hazardous substances, and as a result of that process can produce major accidents with serious consequences on the health and safety of humans as well as on the environment. Worldwide took place a series of serious major accidents in the chemical industry. In Europe, the accident in Seveso, Italy in 1976 had caused the adoption of the legislation that is aimed to prevent and control this type of disasters. In 1982 was adopted a Directive by the Council of Europe, no. 501/EC, June 24, 1982, regarding risks of major accidents of certain industrial activities – SEVESO I Directive had been replaced with SEVESO II Directive- Directive by the Council of Europe no. 82/EC December 9, 1996 related with the control of major accidents involving hazardous substances, extended by SEVESO III Directive – Directive by the Council of Europe no. 105/EC December 16, 2003. Serious accidents that happened in Toulouse – France, Enschede – Holland, Bhopal – India, Baia Mare – Romania have been depply studied by experts of the European Union, resulting the need to change legislation in this domain, with immediate effects on the activities of the economic operators, who use hazardous substances in the process of production or transporting hazardous substances. In accordance with the stipulations of Directive SEVESO, all the operators (companies/enterprises) with this purpose of activity, should sent to the competent authorities a notice and elaborate a plan to prevent major accidents. More, the operator is required to elaborate following documents: Safety Report, The system of risk management and Emergency Plan. Introducing the obligation regulation of risk management system has resulted from the development of new methods of management and organization, and in particular, from the significant changes made by industrial practice in the last 10 years in the domain of risk management. The project describes a part of measures imposed by the European legislation for the prevention, training and responsibility for owners of such technologies for identification, estimate of risks and to limit consequences of major accidents in which hazardous substances are involved. It is also a guide to provide information for the companies engaged in transporting dangerous goods (both internal and international traffic), for knowing and complying the most recent regulations included in the new structure of the European Agreement regarding to international road transport of dangerous substances as well as for the performance of activities who can may influent the transport safety. 86
<strong>First</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on MOLDAVIAN RISKS - FROM GLOBAL TO LOCAL SCALE 16-19 May 2012, Bacau, Romania RISK ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METALS ON AIR POLLUTANTS IN BACAU CITY Andreea Cocarcea 1 , Ema Faciu 1 , Iuliana Lazar 2 , Gabriel Lazar 1 1 “Vasile Alecsandri" University of Bacau, Department of Environmental Engineering and Mechanical Engineering 2 “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacau, Department of Chemical and Food Engineering Corresponding author: Iuliana Lazar, ilazar@ub.ro Abstract: Heavy metals released from different sources in urban environment get adsorbed by humans on respirable particulate matter less than 10 μm in size (PM10) and are important from public health point of view. The composition of PM10 varies, as they can absorb and transfer a multitude of pollutants: metals, organic compounds, material of biologic origin, ions, reactive gases, and the particle carbon core. The concentrations of PM10, Pb, Cd and Ni from the air of Bacau City are measured daily by the Regional Agency of Environmental Protection Bacau (ARPM Bacau) and published in their monthly reports. The relations and correlations between concentrations of PM10, Pb, Cd and Ni measured during year 2011 and number of patients on disease categories registered in 2011 were analyzed using descriptive statistics and bivariate correlations. It was shown a similar trend in variation during the period of all four trimesters for PM10 and Pb, and a maximum for all type of particles during the trimester IV. Another method for analyze the data used in this study was the multivariate statistics which shown a dependency of 53% between PM10 and Pb, of 52% between PM10 and Ni and of 38% between PM10 and Cd with a significant factor less than 0.05. The influence of these air pollutants on human health was analyzed using statistic data provided by IBM SPSS 20.0 software on number of registered ill persons by disease type and trimester during year 2011. The strongest Bivariate Correlations were shown between urological diseases and PM10 (R=0.60, p
