Some geographic regions induce beneficial effects on health status. The world health organization is interested in analyzing this type of climate area in order to establish a network health status. Understanding the parameters of this type of climate creates the prerequisites for further research to define their influence on humans, as an external determining factor of the exposome. Supported by historic and medical epidemiology data, the Cacica area, Roman has beneficial effects on human health. This climatic natural area will be characterized by monitoring their parameters. Thus, they will be rigorously defined and considered of major influence in the exposome. Air quality measurements were made and the local meteorological parameters were monitored. These were correlated with LIDAR data. The atmospheric layers have been evidenced and a possible scenario for the elimination of the pollutant aerosols has been created, in case, the area suffers contamination during a certain season. The analyzed area shows as climatic characteristics both the absence of pollutant factors and the natural structure of the geo-system. The characterization of this area associated with the special terrain (the through), involves the introduction of new local development directions: education, ecology and economy.
