Environmental Quality
Green space per capita in Bucharest is situated slightly below
European norms (23.21 sqm / inhabitant vs. 26 square meters /
inhabitant required).
Groundwater presents quality deterioration: a quarter of the
groundwater monitored in Bucharest Ilfov region presents exceeded
threshold values for certain pollutants and 7 communes are classified
in the national list of vulnerable areas to nitrate pollution.
Increasing demand for drinking water in the Bucharest Ilfov (34%
compared to 2005) is not covered by the existing distribution
capacity.
Collection, selection and storage of waste is undersized to waste
production recorded in the region.
18
Air pollution – local effects
Residential areas are in close proximity to industrial and traffic
areas in Bucharest (Ilfov county receives these emissions by
dispersion)
the existence of multiple pollution sources with different intensity
and unequal distribution
Vehicle traffic is a major source of pollution, especially along
national network that connects Bucharest and heavy car traffic on
the beltway, etc.
19
Improving the environment and quality of life
Improving the quality of natural environment:
Increasing the efficiency of water management (supply,
treatment, reuse)
Increased efficiency in waste management (reuse, recycling,
recovery)
Improving air quality through investments in green
infrastructure
Improving capacity to adapt to climate change and disaster
response, including prevention and risk management
Improving the quality of built environment:
Improving spatial and urban climate
