Aspects Regarding the Installation of Some Invasive Weeds Species on Old Fly Ash Dumps
Most Romanian power plants were built in a period when environmental impact of their operation was undervalued, and constraints related to environmental protection were relatively few. Location of power plants and fly ash dumps was chosen most often by arbitrary criteria, and never after the impact...
