Abstract: The aim of this paper consists of an interdisciplinary approach to air and water environmental factors impact evaluation to eliminate the poยญtentially adverse effects, using high-performance technologies and equipยญment so that the status of the ecosystems is not affected by human activities.
This new era can be defined as the “Anthropocene Era” which impact also reยญquires increased responsibility, conscious management, and environmental protection area-related activities.
The theoretical significance and applied value of the paper consists of highยญlighting the problems faced by Romania regarding the impact of pollution on the environmental factors of water and air, using performance methods and techniques.
The authors of the paper, following the risk analysis, highlight the impact genยญerated by pollution, to reduce these effects and reach the targets assumed by Romania as a member state of the United Nations and the European Union, within the UN Summit for Sustainable Development.
Sustainable development also seeks to find a stable theoretical framework for decision-making in any situation where there is a human-environment relationship.
Sustainable development promotes the concept of reconciling economic and social progress without jeopardizing the natural balance of the planet and at the same time without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
