“…Microbiological contamination and its implications on cultural heritage frescoes were studied by Radu et al [34], Mohanu et al [35], Bucsa and Bucsa [36] and Ilies , et al [37]. Further, other relevant studies focus on the determination of fungal contamination and microclimatic problems in museums [13,[38][39][40][41], sport halls [42,43] or schools [44][45][46]. These studies have shown that among the most common fungi that can be identified in the old wooden churches on the Romanian territory are Aspergillus spp., Mucor spp., Arthrinium spp., Stachybotrys spp., Scopulariopsis spp., Penicillium spp., Absidia spp., Geotrichum spp.…”

Monitoring the indoor microclimate in old buildings of cultural heritage and significance is a practice of great importance because of the importance of their identity for local communities and national consciousness. Most aged heritage buildings, especially those made of wood, develop an indoor microclimate conducive to the development of microorganisms. This study aims to analyze one wooden church dating back to the 1710s in Romania from the microclimatic perspective, i.e., temperature and relative humidity and the fungal load of the air and surfaces. One further aim was to determine if the internal microclimate of the monument is favorable for the health of parishioners and visitors, as well as for the integrity of the church itself. The research methodology involved monitoring of the microclimate for a period of nine weeks (November 2020–January 2021) and evaluating the fungal load in indoor air as well as on the surfaces. The results show a very high contamination of air and surfaces (>2000 CFU/m3). In terms of fungal contamination, Aspergillus spp. (two different species), Alternaria spp., Cladosporium spp., Mucor spp., Penicillium spp. (two different species) and Trichopyton spp. were the genera of fungi identified in the indoor wooden church air and Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp., Penicillium spp. (two different species) and Botrytis spp. on the surfaces (church walls and iconostasis). The results obtained reveal that the internal microclimate not only imposes a potential risk factor for the parishioners and visitors, but also for the preservation of the wooden church as a historical monument, which is facing a crisis of biodeterioration of its artwork.

Environmental quality in urban schools is a major factor that can reduce the quality of life in cities. Although people’s exposure to environmental noise has become a global concern, most cities still experience noise levels that interfere with human activities. This aims to assess the impact of environmental noise in the vicinity of primary schools. Environmental quality measurements consist of noise, temperature, Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and humidity measurements. Environmental quality measurements were conducted in 30 schools. Noise, CO, and CO2 measurements were taken in front of the school and temperature and humidity measurements were taken in the bathroom. The measurement results show that 100% of the noise level in the school is unqualified, the average CO2 concentration of the school is qualified, the average school temperature is still unqualified at above 90%, the average humidity level in the school is unqualified which is still above 50% while the CO concentration of 100% of the school is qualified. Recommendations to schools should pay attention to the level of humidity and temperature in the bathroom by providing better circulation.

“…Another critical parameter involved in the quality of wastewater from the food industry is the high concentration of solid suspensions [7][8][9] (generally characterized by the presence of fats, oils, but also waste resulting from the processing of vegetable raw materials); it is necessary to be separated before the water enters the urban water cycle. At the same time, effluents from the food industry contain significant amounts of nutrients [10] (organic nitrogen or phosphorus) (e.g., effluents from the production of bakery products) [7], but also of heavy metals (copper, chromium, nickel, lead) [11]. Technological processes in the food and beverage industry are the primary sources of wastewater production.…”

The food and beverage industries are considered essential sources of wastewater contaminated with pollutants discharged into the sewerage networks of cities. This study focused on monitoring the analytical parameters regulated in the environmental legislation in force in Romania for factories with various sectors of activity in the processing industry. The main objective is to understand the presence of conventional contaminants in the effluents from the food and alcoholic beverages industry and raise awareness of the effects of spillage in local networks. The study occurred over three years, between 2020 and 2022 when monthly wastewater samples from factories processing chocolate, meat, and alcohol were monitored. Values that exceed the maximum allowed limits were recorded for the meat processing factory due to the processed raw materials. The effluents resulting from the technological processes of meat processing significantly impact the aquatic environment.
