Industry production of lead and zinc, consequences for population and protection and regulation of ecosystems

The development of modern industrial production of lead and zinc started in the area of researches, with more than 800.000 inhabitants, over 80 years ago. During the development of the industry, the attention wasn`t paid to the protection of ecosystems, leading to negative influence for both ecosystem and human health. Pollutants from production facilities and industrial waste affect the ecosystem. Preliminary studies have confirmed the increased presence of pollutants in the ecosystem and the population. The purpose of the studies is to determine the technical, technological and medical measures and activities. The result of their applying will be adequate solutions for the production, protection and organization of the ecosystem and protection of the population. The project will consist of three segments: -defining the consequences of the influence of industrial production of lead and zinc on the ecosystem, -analysis of the current state of the ecosystem and public health, -establishing the technical, technological and medical measures and activities. The research will lead to the identification and characterization of key sources of risk and risk points on the ecosystem and the population. Multiple gain will be brought through the saving in the process of technological efficiency and the reduction of metal loss, earnings from recycling waste materials and reclamation of degraded land, and reducing costs in the system of health care and treatment of populations.
