The results show that the air pollution caused by
inadequate solid waste management represents 3%–4% of the
air pollution from all sources. While the overall emissions have decreased over the analysed decade, the emissions
resulted from waste have been slowly increasing. When
comparing the contribution of CO2e emissions in Romania
with the CO2e emissions in European Union, coming from
waste as main pollution source, the figures indicate 3%–4%
of the Romanian contribution to the European level of
emissions.
