“…The environmental protection agency in Cluj County has installed five automatic stations for measuring the air quality in Cluj County, four in Cluj Napoca city, the major city in the northwestern region of Romania and one situated in Dej, a smaller city situated 60 km from Cluj-Napoca (Figures 1 and 2) [47,48].…”

Many concerns are arising now regarding the effects of the pollution on inhabitants, especially in agglomerated areas. It is known that mobility is a major factor that generates threatening pollution that negatively affects the health and the comfort of residents. The present study focuses on this sensitive subject by observing the impact of reducing mobility on air quality. There are various studies on this topic, but this analysis addresses a gap in the literature, by covering a very active area, in terms of development and attractiveness for new inhabitants. The research study was carried on Cluj-Napoca city (Romania), by measuring the concentration of SO2, NO2, O3, PM10, PM2.5 from five different air monitoring stations from Cluj County during 2019–2021. During the entire period, the concentrations of the measured pollutants regarding the air quality were far below the legally accepted limits, with some short time peaks generated by other human factors. Road vehicle traffic generates pollution, but they are not the only elements that have to be taken into consideration when the quality of life is regarded, so the lawmakers have a more complex task to comply when deliberating on this matter. It concludes that it is necessary to develop on the existing air quality measuring network stations, because it is necessary to increase the number and the quality of the measurements.

“…PM and NPs enter through the nasal cavity where the hair strands are the first barrier. Some of the PM is retained on these strands by passing only fine particles to the trachea [19]. The role of the trachea is to remove with the help of cilia the particles that have managed to escape from the area of the nasal cavity back to the outside by enticing movements from bottom to top.…”

The rapid development of the infrastructure of metropolises, cities, population and industry has led to severe air pollution, which has serious consequences for public health and the environment. Distortion of environmental quality includes a wide range of particulate matter (PM) and nanoparticles (NPs) that may contain in their structure and on their surface toxic substances, nasopharyngeal secretions, heavy metals, manure, pollen, bacteria, viruses, cigarette ash, SOx, NOx, O3. Studies in the literature on epidemiology and toxicology show the association between air pollution and its negative impact on the respiratory tract and lungs. This review highlights the pathways of PM and NPs (nasal, buccal and skin pores) and also the mechanisms by which their negative effects are strictly related to the complex properties and very small size of particles. Exposure to PM and NPs in both the short and long term can lead to clinical, chronic and even incurable diseases causing even death. This review addresses a topical issue that may influence both the understanding of the negative impact of air pollution and the improvement of protection strategies for dealing with an ecological disaster.

Soil moisture monitoring and control are essential aspects for precision agriculture. The paper presents the designing and calibration of a low-cost soil moisture monitoring system. The system includes 28 capacitive sensors, connected to an Arduino based data acquisition system, allowing simultaneous multi-point measurements. The calibration process was conducted on six reference points within the moisture content range of 0–25%. The calibration results indicate a non-linear variation and reveal a significant deviation between the sensors leading to the determination of individual variation curves for each sensor.
