• Inventory of all possible emissions, in terms of their characteristics: components,
concentrations, frequency, variance amplitudes;
• The systematic detection and assessment of the complexity of the chemical composition and of the samples to be performed in the laboratory.
Once these steps have been established, the following variables will be established:
monitoring variables, monitoring station location areas, sampling frequency, how
laboratory samples are analyzed and how results are interpreted.
In practice, there are a number of quality indicators that have been grouped in
12 classes. The classes are as follows: oxygen regime, water aggression indicators,
and salinity indicators, presence of nutrients, general inorganic pollutants, general
organic pollutants, microporous—heavy metals, microporous—pesticides, radioactivity, microbiology, biology, and flow.
The allowable values for basic indicators which measure the degree of surface
water pollution (river Danube, seawater) are provided in the NTPA-001/2002 [34,
35]. Technical Regulations for Water Protection.
The normative is aimed at establishing the general quality conditions of all categories of wastewater before their discharge into natural receptors, as well as the
admissible limit values of the main quality indicators of these waters. (Normativ din
28 februarie 2002).
The norms that aim at establishing the quality of surface water quality are transposed by the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC), depending on the
conditions at a national, regional, local level.
Water quality monitoring stations are an integral part of the Romanian Water Quality Surveillance System (WQSS), a system under the responsibility of the Romanian
Waters Company, and are integrated into the Integrated Monitoring System for the
Quality of Environment in Romania (IMSQER). Romania is making efforts to make
compatible the systems and values laid down in the normative with the norms of the
European Community, especially because in the case of water, we have to deal with
the transboundary transport of the pollutants with the waters of the rivers that leave
the territory of Romania (Normativ din 28 februarie 2002).
4.3 Pollutant Impact on Surface Waters
Due to the diversity and complexity of the sources of pollution, the consequences
of water pollution are numerous, some of them unforeseen, with long-term effects,
others not measurable. Because of this, many diseases originate in the quality of
human drinking water, and many species of flora and fauna are affected by the
quality of the water they have at their disposal.
Some pollutants that have a remanent character will affect the aquatic environment, and not only in the long run, which has unwanted effects even after decades,
even after the source of pollution has ceased.
Here are some of the most important consequences of pollution.
