La contaminación ambiental, se inicia con la época industrial y se acrecienta luego de la segunda guerra mundial con el auge de la tecnología. En la década de los 70 el hombre comienza a tomar conciencia de la gravedad de este progresivo e irreparable daño. La ecología y ciencias afines se desarrollan y por doquier se implementa acciones para manejar o paliar el daño. La contaminación puede alterar directamente los componentes de un ecosistema, agua, aire o suelos, pero también puede darse por presencia de fenómenos físicos o físicoquímicos inusuales, como calor o radiación ionizante. Sus efectos se manifiestan principalmente por daño a los ecosistemas y por tanto daño a la salud de los seres humanos, animales, vegetales, la tierra o el agua (Nebel, 1999; Clark, 2003). Hoy son harto conocidos los desastres ecológicos de Londres, Donora, Minamata, Chernobyl, Bophal, del Golfo Pérsico, del Danubio originado en Baia Mare o los de petróleo en los mares (Baxter, 1991). En el Perú, sabemos del daño ambiental de la Ciudad de la Oroya, del lago de Junín, el derrame de Choropampa y la contaminación urbana por polvo de plomo a partir de los depósitos de concentrados de minerales en el Callao. De acuerdo con la Organización Panamericana de la Salud, hay 20. 000 casos confirmados de COVID-19 en la Cuenca del Amazonas (Martín, 2020). Mineros de oro y taladores ilegales están exponiendo a las comunidades indígenas a riesgos de salud considerables, una situación que podría tener consecuencias severas dadas la pobre capacidad de respuesta de los hospitales y servicios de salud en la región. Por tanto, la propagación del virus en estas comunidades podría implicar una tragedia que, además de las pérdidas humanas, podría, a su vez, afectar el conocimiento tradicional y producir efectos negativos en la gobernanza de la región. Como resultado, podría haber incluso mayor deforestación en el futuro. Políticas diferenciales para atender a las poblaciones étnicas en la región son una necesidad urgente (Bermudez et al., 2020; Vélez et al., 2020a). Es por ello que la presente investigación se planteo establecer la Influencia de la industrialización en la salud ambiental: Visión histórica desde la revolución industrial a la pandemia por COVID-19

Marginal settlements may be defined as inhabited areas characterized by a series of negative features, typicallyethnic segregation, social discrimination, poor living conditions and conflicts, with impact on their dwellers and neighboring communities. In Romania, informal settlements were legislated in 2019; it subsequently became mandatory for the local authorities to spatially delimit them and formulate measures to improve living conditions. However, there are still numerous issues to be solved, from the lack of basic services (health, education) to the persistent poor living conditions or serious environmental problems. The Roma communities selected for our study are no exception. They are located on the outskirts of some cities or in their historical centers (Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu, Timișoara, Baia Mare). Through content analysis, based on print and electronic media from the last 10 years (n = 150 news items), different aspects of marginal housing were illustrated. The results of the study revealed some particular aspects, namely: some of the Roma communities are relocated whilst some others are subject to environmental conflicts; funding addressing the quality of life of Roma ethnics seems to deepen the phenomenon of segregation among communities, most of the measures being limited to the creation of housing facilities.

The research in view of establishing the development and the way in which antihelmintical treatment influences epidemiological indexes, was carried out between October 2008 and May 2009 in equine species from zoos. In the zoo located Targu Mures it was noticed am strongyls intensity of 2300 EPG - 8700 LPG in horses, and 700 EPG - 1400 LPG in ponies. In vitro effectiveness of bemzimidazoles (BZ) being low in both horses and ponies. In the zoo located in Turda the intensity of the strongyl parasitism reached the level of 900 EPG - 2300 LPG in horses and 2400EPG - 2800 LPG in ponies, the effectiveness of the benzimidazoles being low. In the zoo located in Baia Mare the intensity of strongyls infestation was of 900 EPG - 1600 LPG in horses, 1900 EPG – 2600 LPG in ponies, 900 EPG -1500 LPG in donkeys benzimidazoles treatment being proven effective. Cyathostomum species are considered as having the most significant pathology in equines. Worldwide, anthelmintical treatment, especially in strongylatosis, faces an ever-increasing phenomenon of drug resistance, to phenotiazin, thiabendazole as well as other BZ and ProBZ, in the strongyls population. The lack of success in treatment using drug combinations (piperazin and phenotiazin; triclorfon and phenotiazin; diclorfos and morantel) have spurred the development of new substances to which strongyls have not developed resistance. Tong time treatment with the same substance leads to the development of drug-resistant strongyl population, thus a low effectiveness, below the desired level.

The paper presents several aspects of the general theme related to medical waste management and elimination in a health unit in Baia Mare. Therefore, non-hazardous wastes are collected like household wastes, being temporarily stored in euro containers and transported by S.C. DRUSAL S.A. The hazardous wastes are selectively collected in special containers, temporarily stored in an especially laid out storage unit and transported by the S.C. ECO BURN S.R.L company to the "Stery Cycle" Bucuresti waste incineration plan.

The paper describes a series of effects created by the impact of environmental factors on artworks in museums, as well as the way that active monitoring of these destructive agents (temperature and relative humidity) is done. Over time, artefacts exhibited within museums are subject to a series of degradations caused by external factors (air components, humidity, temperature, sunlight, bacteria, molds or fungi etc.), which can leave a negative impact on these goods with cultural value. The main observed negative effects are directly and intimate related to the deterioration of wood sculptures by the occurrence of cracks and the installation of different types of bacteria; the appearance of brownish-red spots on the surface of the paper and the increase in its reliability; various types of corrosion of artworks from different metals; color losses and cracks on paintings etc. The study brings to the fore the damaging effects produced on the different cultural works hosted within the County Art Museum - Art Center Baia Mare.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the environmental quality of polluted areas near the Baia Mare Mining and Smelting Complex for future improvements the quality of the environment in polluted areas, such as the city of Baia Mare and its surroundings. Samples of soil and organs of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) were collected from Baia Mare, Baia Sprie and surrounding areas (Simleul Silvaniei) and their content of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Co, As, Cr, Hg were analyzed. Most soil and plant samples showed higher metal concentrations in Baia Mare and Baia Sprie areas compared to Simleul Silvaniei, exceeding the normal values. The results obtained from the translocation factors, mobility ratio, as well as from Pearson correlation study confirmed that very useful information is recorded in plant organs: root, canes, leaves and fruit. Results also indicated that Vitis vinifera L. has some highly effective strategies to tolerate heavy metal-induced stress, may also be useful as a vegetation protection barrier from considerable atmospheric pollution. At the same time, berries are safe for consumption to a large degree, which is a great advantage of this species.

In the Autumn of 1928 Dr. Béla Fülöpp and Mr. G. Kupás sent for examination an unknown mineral, which had been found in no. III level on the main lode of the Kereszthegy mine at Nagybánya, comitat Szatmár [now Baia Mare, Satul-Mare, Romania]. The small crystals show a close resemblance to those of plagionite from Wolfsberg in the Harz Mountains, but the results of our detailed examination prove that we have here a new mineral. For this we propose the name Fülöppite in honour of Dr. B. Fülöpp, an enthusiastic collector of minerals and a generous patron of the Magyar Nemzeti Mfizeum (Hungarian National Museum).
