Abstract
There is growing concern about the effects of environmental contaminants on human health. In heavily industrialized area an increasing number of nose, throat and ears diseases caused especially by particulate matter were found. Respiratory system is the main gate of entry to the air pollutants in the body and the children are especially affected. In Re§ita town, Cara§- Severin County, Romania, the level of particulate matter carrying heavy metals and many substances is often exceeded. The potential health risk caused by decades of pollution in this town was investigated. Most affected are children aged 7-11 years with relatively high frequencies of pharyngitis, latyngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. Almost 50% of medical investigated children had respiratory diseases. Effect on children’s health of each sterile dump in part, as source of pollution, is not obvious but can be assumed a cumulative effect.
