In Romania, like in all East-European countries, industry, especially the mining industry, the chemical industry and the power industry, has developed in the last 30--40 years without paying attention to environmental issues. That means a great number of power plants as well as chemical and petrochemical plants based on fossil-fuels were built without considering the negative effects to the environment. All these industrial plants represent, in fact, the greatest polluting sources. The transformations in the industrial field for the next decades in Romania will be achieved in two ways: by application of new technologies or modernization of actual technologies. In both cases any project has to be considered ``from the cradle to the grave`` as to how to achieve efficient environmental protection. Adopting an environmental policy consisting of governmental and non-governmental measures, creating regional and national institutions with activities in the field of environmental protection, the problems concerning environmental pollution could be solved.
