The environmental impact of coal exploitation is significant, inevitable and irreversible, with effects on aquatic systems, air, natural mineral resources, ecosystems, climate, geomorphology and landscape, land use and human collectivity. The inclusion of environmental protection measures and the ecological restoration of degraded areas in mining perimeters have the role of controlling and limiting the negative effects of coal exploitation and ensuring the restoration of the affected areas to the natural conditions existing before the exploitation started, both during the mining activity and its closure. Pollution is the modification of biotic and abiotic environmental factors due to the release of pollutants, such as wastes from different sectors of human activities. Nowadays, the interest in reducing pollution is growing, as the protection of nature as well as the population against the risks of this phenomenon has become an indispensable requirement.
