This study presents a study case on environmental risks due to energy complex operation in Romania. This study presents a situation from Rovinari complex which is a major producer of electricity and heat in Romania. Rovinari complex is composed of a power station with installed capacity of 1320 MW lignite mining pits on the surface. Rovinari power station consists of four power units with rated power of 330 MW lignite-operated. Combustion gases evacuated from the thermal power plant's chimneys Rovinari contain pollutants that affect air quality: SO^sub 2^, NOx, CO, ash. Experimental results are presented on measurements of concentrations of pollutants in flue gases. Dispersion maps are presented of pollutants discharged by thermal power plant chimneys of Rovinari. There are presented the effects of pollutants in the thermal power plant boiler Rovinari and surrounding areas.. Experimental research results are made with a camera with infrared and gas analyzers, air pollution due to lignite" self-burning deposits of career Tismana belonging to Complex Rovinari.
