Introduction and Objectives
In this paper, an interesting region area with high potential in human health rehabilitation
has been investigated and preliminary studies are given. The area is a
destination for both tourists and patients that are coming for treatment of respiratory
diseases and rehabilitation therapy.
Moreover, systematic studies of medical treatment influences versus physicochemical
properties of daily atmospheric Cacica region and corresponding meteorological
data have been taking into account.
In order to make a complete characterization of a special region of medical
treatment, the complex analysis of physical, chemical, geological and meteorological
factors is described in this paper. The Cacica saline area is well-known as a
balneary-climatic region but it is not yet complete analyzed. The Cacica treatment
area is located between coordinates: 47o34’ – 47o41’ north latitude and 25o47’ –
25o56’ east longitude, respectively. The hilly topography of the Cacica area is
guarded to the north-west by the height of 973 m- the peack of Custura and to the
south-east by the Ciungi massive- height of 629 m. The lowest point of Cacica
depression in the area of interest is in the south-east of the village, having a value of
380 m.
Materials and Methods
Our case study aims to compare the forecasted data by MAP 3D, meteo-climatic
factors and experimental data recorded at the Cacica salt mine (lat: 47.6308, lon:
25.8995), correlated with history medical data . The area in which determinations
were made was chosen at approximately 300 m north-northeaster of the local salt
mine, which is a destination for both tourists and patients that are coming for treatment
of respiratory diseases and rehabilitation therapy.
We studied, compared and correlated data concerning the dust particles and the
meteorological data. The two observatory stations are situated into the frame region
