Abstrakt: In the current context of global warming and increased frequency and intensity of severe weather episodes, acute need for sustainable development of the socioeconomic environment involving all decision makers is needed. The companies that constitute the pyramid base of the economy must implement policies related to planning, control, assurance and improvement of quality. Air quality is part of total quality management. Monitoring and assessing pollutant emissions are the essential steps for continuously air quality improvement. The purpose of this paper is to analyse emissions of heavy metals (lead, cadmium and mercury) for the period 2003-2016 from the Hunedoara County territory in relation to causes that accentuate or diminish their daily, monthly and annual concentration values. The analysis was based on data provided by the Hunedoara Environmental Protection Agency (APM HD) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). The paper ends with the authors' conclusions based on the monitoring and assessing of heavy metal emissions as part of air quality management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
