“…Some very common diseases such as diabetes type II non-genetic insulin resistance, obesity or Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) [57] started to be linked to the potential of ROS generation in organism by the toxic heavy metals. In latest years, we have joined the global effort to achieve optimal health outcomes focusing our research interests on a variety of topics such as: environmental impact and risk assessments and waste hazardousness [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] or environmental pollution monitoring [66][67][68] in the spirit of implementation of one health concept helping to acquire useful data in order to sustain future endeavors.…”

The paper focused on the possible links among pollution, pollution management efficiency including waste management and the propensity of a variety of emerging diseases in our society by answering the question: “How pollution can affect human health?” Environmental pollution is a reality and our planet ecosystem possibilities to face the challenges due to the constant exceeding its resilience are becoming smaller and smaller. The evolution of the climate change indicators like global temperature, global CO2 emissions, oceans acidification and species extinction point out that in a not very long period of time, the planet will not be able to sustain any more the present society’s life style set by the current economic development. Therefore, many warning signals have been issued to change the present behavior in order to reduce significant damages done to the environment and on human health with serious implications on the dysregulation of our immunity and the onset of a plethora of diseases. In this respect, the present paper reviewed relevant aspects linked to the environmental pollution issues that become part of scientific and public debates presented in specialty literature in recent years emphasizing why the implementation of “One Health” concept is necessary.

“…A significant increase in municipal solid waste and beyond is one of the main environmental problems in all developed countries and developing countries (Chen et al 2018). The waste composition is very important in terms of management as waste must be collected, transported, exploited and eliminated separately (Arama & Kim 2016). Classification of waste in a category of waste: inert, non-dangerous and dangerous waste is depending on its composition (Guta et al 2017).…”

“…Classification of waste in a category of waste: inert, non-dangerous and dangerous waste is depending on its composition (Guta et al 2017). According to the European legislation, preventing the waste generation and performing an adequate management (recovery/disposal) is a strategy focusing on the prioritization of practical actions taking into account the sustainable development principles (Arama & Kim 2016). The term "waste" means any solid, liquid or contained gaseous material that is discharged by being disposed of, burned, incinerated or recycled (Puiu & Cruceru 2016).…”

The paper presents the characterization of the content of metals from three different waste biomass using ICP-MS and AAS techniques. The purpose of the study was to finding an appropriate method of analysis for the complex matrix of waste biomass by comparing two methods of digestion using a closed system (microwave) and an open system (sand bath). For this study were analyzed six metals (Al, Mg, K, Ca, Na, Fe) in three different waste samples from agriculture, forestry and related industries (horticultural and wine waste). It was observed that the highest concentrations of metals were recorded for the sample P3 horticultural and wine waste through both analysis techniques. The results obtained were compared with a certified reference material (CRM) and value to demonstrate the precision of the method and the quality of the results. The concentration obtained for Al, Mg, K, Ca, Na and Fe by microwave digestion in a closed system analyzed using ICP-MS technique were better than the AAS technique. The method of analysis chosen in this study was emphasized as being optimal for the analysis of biomass waste using performance parameters: precision, accuracy, detection limit, quantification limit and extended uncertainty. From the obtained results it can be said that the method of digestion by using microwave systems of the metals` analysis from biomass waste is within the desired purpose.

Sewage sludge from urban wastewater treatment plants come from different stages of wastewater treatment and are considered as waste, falling under the waste regulations. In order to reduce the negative environmental impacts, the removal of sewage sludge on landfill is considered as the last waste management option. One of the sludge management alternatives is to recover energy from the sewage sludge by incineration in waste incinerators or co-combustion in cement or thermal power plants. The use of sewage sludge as a source of renewable energy is an ecologically and economically efficient option, both in the EU and Romania sludge management strategy. Total organic carbon is a key environmental indicator for soil, sludge and sediment and a parameter for characterizing sludge for energy recovery. The paper presents the methodology for total organic carbon determination from acidified sludge samples by dry combustion, in an oxygen atmosphere using FlashEA 1112 Series Analyser. From the experimental laboratory researches the following aspects were highlighted: the interdependence between the total organic carbon content and the heating value of sludge samples, an important factor for energy recovery/elimination by incineration, co-combustion and utilization as secondary raw materials in cement plants.
