Abstract: | This work presents the impact of the heavy metals resulting from the mining activities on the quality of the food products and on the health of the population. Heavy metals resulting from mining activities are the main cause of some serious ecological lack of poise, but also an important source of pollution of food products. This way, the quantities of cadmium, lead, copper and zinc resulting from the mine working Calimani, surpass the accepted concentrations in the superior layers of the soil on a vast specific spreading area for species. As a result of the soil contamination with heavy metals, through the transfer soil - plant - human or soil - plant - animal-human, there is a growth in the concentrations of this metals in the vegetation with direct and indirect obnoxious effects on the population's health. |
