The purpose of this paper is to identify the sites that have a pollution potential due to metallurgical activities in Romania. The amount of metallurgical slag generated depends on the steel production (Iluţiu - Varvara, 2007). The total quantities of metallurgical slag generated far exceed 200 million tons of slag (Bălan, 2010).
