<strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Hydrology</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Balneology</strong>: <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Aspects</strong><br />

validated by the Map 3D software (15x15 km). The measured data were obtained<br />

using a Dust Trak Aerosol Monitor – model 8520.<br />

Results<br />

The investigated area was chosen at approximately 300 m north-northeaster of<br />

the local salt mine, which is a destination for both tourists <strong>and</strong> patients that are<br />

coming for treatment of respiratory diseases <strong>and</strong> rehabilitation therapy.<br />

Knowledge of the climatic factors, in this case the air quality study, allows us to<br />

complete the quality approach to the modern medical analysis of a natural area so<br />

that the indications of medical cure to be achieved with certainty <strong>and</strong> scientific<br />

evidences.<br />

Conclusions<br />

Because of their importance upon the influences of toxic dusts, irritating pollutants,<br />

irritating the lining of the respiratory system <strong>and</strong> eyes, studies concerning the<br />

particularly region <strong>and</strong> climate changes, pollution <strong>and</strong> therapeutic treatment involve<br />

a complex panel of measurements <strong>and</strong> research studies for scientists (physics,<br />

chemistry, biology, medical infrastructure, etc).<br />
