Concentratie cupru

In raurile din zona Moldova Noua, care se varsa in Dunare, s-a detectat o concentratie de cupru sub  valoarea 1.5 mg/L (concentratie chiar sub limita admisa de Organiatia Mondiala a Sanatatii). Prin urmare in apele Dunarii concentratia de cupru nu depaseste limitele admise.

In apa colectat din fantani ale unor locuitori din Moldova Noua nu s-a detectat cupru.

In Romania there are 9 copper mines, three of them being located in cross border area: Baia de Arama (reserves of 16 million tons of ore grading 0.24% copper), Sasca Montana (reserves of 12 million tons of ore grading 0.75% copper) and Moldova Noua being second largest copper reserve in Romania (500 million tons of ore grading 0.35% copper).
