2 Geographical Location of Moldova Geographical Location of Moldova

3 Geographical Specific Dates Geographical Specific Dates

4 General Geografical Information General Geografical Information Total area area of of Moldova is is nearly 33,700 sq.km The The length from from North to to South ** km. km. From West to to East East is is compiling around Km. Km. With With moderate continental climate. The The population of of the the country Millions of of Habitants.

8 Contaminated Land Syndrome in Moldova Contaminated Land Syndrome in Moldova Major Symptoms include, Deposits of of pollutants in in soils, soils, underground Water Resources and and Loss Loss of of Soil Soil Functions in in the the result ;; A.CASE STUDIES Intensive overusing of of pesticides in in agricultural Sector, Details. In In the the former union Moldova were were on on experimental site. site. In In the the result of of excessive using of of fertilizers (over (over 5,5 5,5 millions tones )) and and pesticides (( annual 500,000 ton.) ton.) have have bring to to on on very very negative environment impact which can can be be estimated only only in in the the result of of Integral Assessment Program. Roughly, was was appreciated the the reduction of of humus content have have been been caused the the over over lowing the the soil soil capacity for for nitrogen fixation. What means the the soil soil have have loss loss this this important nutritive element and and furthmore the the nitrogen leached from from the the soil soil has has caused the the pollution of of underground water.

9 Contaminated Land Syndrome in Moldova Contaminated Land Syndrome in Moldova Pollution of of arable fields (roughly ha) ha) dumping of of municipal waste and and animalier dejections,, 3.loss of of Biodiversity,,(only 13,3% of of forestry remained in in Moldova) 4.Soil Erosions (30,4% annual loss loss of of fertile soil soil 18mln.ton) and and Landslides,,*(landslides affects 14% 14% of of territory) Arable land land have have been been also also suffered due due to to erosion and and salinization. At At the the moment 30,4 30,4 % of of agricultural lands are are effected by by mentioned phenomena and and further loss loss of of arable area area are are estimated 0,86 0,86 % of of the the total total arable land land per per year. year. Actually, 1,205 thousand.ha of of agricultural lands are are affected by by soil soil erosions thousands ha. ha. are are destroyed by by landfills. 5.Deposition of of Excavated Contaminated Soil, Soil, (( at at moment 875,43 need need recultivation ))

10 Contaminated Land Syndrome in Moldova Contaminated Land Syndrome in Moldova 6.Spills of of Petroleum Products, major contaminated areas ;; Site Site Marculesti,, Floresti District source of of pollution the the air air base base of of Former Union Army. Contaminant Oil Oil products, Media Soil, Soil, subsoil and and underground water. Affected area area ha. ha. Site Site Blijnii Hutor --Miltary Air Air Base. Site Site Iargara,, Leova District Oil Oil Terminal Storage, Site Site 4.Budesti,, Chisinau municipal area- Petroleum Products Storage and and oil oil filling station. Around of of local local habitants have have lost lost the the opportunity to to drink cleaner water.

11 Land Contamination with oil Products. Land Contamination with oil Products. More details as as on example: Site Iargara,, Leova District Oil Terminal Storage, Contaminants Gasoline Case Study: August 1973 on on the the petroleum reservoir in in Village Iargara happened on on accident in in result around 628 tons of of gasoline flowed out into the the soil reaching the the underground water level polluting them very hard. The mentioned accident turned out as as on on really catastrophe for for local habitants as as it s deprived them from the the unique potable water resources

12 Situation Scheme Situation Scheme

13 Geological and Hydrological Conditions. Geological and Hydrological Conditions. The common polluted with oil oil products area acres. Situated in in the the Southern part of of Village Iragara and on on the the right stream Tighech. On On that site in in conformity with the the available dates horizon of of the the underground water belong to to the the alluvial and delluvial stratum which is is covered with clays soil of of the the upper Sarmation Maeotis stage. The level of of underground water ranges from 5-7 meters on on the the lower site till till m on on the the upper site of of the the territory. The level of of the the underground water in in conformity with with the the available dates it s oscillating from 2 to to 4 m. m.

14 Further Threat Further Threat Oil contaminant migrate to to different locations and depths,, depending on the density of of each compound and the local geology. Contaminant poses threat to to groundwater and local drinking water.. The total cost of of the the full complex of of research work compile $ Proposed Remediation Technology Removal of of buildings pump and treat,,, venting and biodegradation. Costs Not included.

15 Conclusions A relatively developed agroindustrial complex with a no no rational structure in in some branches with outdated and inefficient technologies and techniques in in agriculture and processing industries,, which leads to to low quality,, external markets uncompetitive production,, no no rational uses of of natural and material resources have bring Moldova to to environment pollution and degradation. Environmentally Sound Operations are the Vision of of the Future.
