evaluation of natural resources in Turda area: land and laboratory geological research,
geophysical and geochemical studies

and quantified natural factors from Turda area; microclimatic and bioclimatic
studies
- experimental research on laboratory animals (Wistar rats and New Zeeland
rabbits)
Results
The end products of our project are: the research studies on natural therapeutic
factors from Turda, a new balneal curative model dedicated to Turda, patented and
then transferable to other localities with similar balneary profile, a Scientific Park
for research, education and business dedicated to natural therapeutic resources at
Turda, spa products obtained by research on natural therapeutic factors
Conclusions
The project theme has an absolute novelty at national level, because of the innovative
methodology for naturally therapeutic factors research; also, the cooperation
