AB  - The occurrence and distribution of yttrium and rare earth elements (REYs), along with major elements and heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in coal fly ash (CFA) from five coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), were analyzed, and the REY-associated ecological and health risks were assessed. The individual REYs in CFA were abundant in the following order: Ce > La > Nd > Y > Pr > Gd > Sm > Dy > Er > Yb > Eu > Ho > Tb > Tm > Lu. The total REY content ranged from 135 to 362 mg/kg, averaging 302 mg/kg. The mean light-to-heavy REY ratio was 4.1, indicating prevalent light REY enrichment in CFA. Significantly positive correlations between the REYs suggested that they coexist and share similar origins in CFA. REYs were estimated to pose low to moderate ecological risks, with risk index (RI) values ranging from 66 to 245. The hazard index (HI) and target cancer risk (TCR) of REYs from CFA, estimated to be higher for children (HIc = 0.15, TCRc = 8.4 × 10−16) than for adults (HIa = 0.017, TCRa = 3.6 × 10−16), were well below the safety limits (HI = 1, TCR = 1.0 × 10−6). However, the danger to human health posed by HMs in the same CFA samples (HIc = 5.74, TCRc = 2.6 × 10−4, TCRa = 1.1 × 10−4) exceeded the safe thresholds (excl. HIa = 0.63). The mean RI and HI attributed to REYs in CFA were 14% and 2.6%, respectively, of the total risks that include HMs.

AB  - Renewable energy resources are of great interest for prevention and mitigation of the climate change
effects. Here is presented a study on the utilization of green energy fuels derived from available resources as
prevent for diminishing potential environmental pollution levels influencing this change. The atmospheric
particulate matter composition, also recognized as hazardous and most responsible for human health and
premature deaths would be adequate parameter to be followed in these terms. A biomass burning
contribution to the aerosol fraction with particles less than 2.5 µmin diameter (PM2.5) was assessed in the
Belgrade residential area. Daily PM2.5 aerosol samples collected on membrane Teflon filters over four seasons
were analyzed by PIXE (proton induced X-ray emission) nuclear analytical technique and multi-wavelength
(405-1050 nm) light attenuation measurements. Results have indicated presence of several biomass and
biofuel related tracer elements like Ni, V, Cu, Zn, Ti, Mn, and Cr and significant contents of Pb and Cd,
proving that it may be used for detection of their presence in the mix of energy related emissions. Black
carbon concentration was also a good indicator candidate as its values have shown strong seasonality,
although for more sophisticated recognition of specific species, additional analysis would be necessary.
Receptor modeling using positive matrix factorization (EPA PMF 5.0) revealed about 40% of PM2.5 mass
belonging to the biomass-related emission sources coming from the energy production sector. Besides the
black carbon measured at wavelengths up to 600nm, K was recognized as a main tracer for biomass sources
like wood and biofuels. A V/Ni ratio, characteristic for heavy oil burning, was noticed in all seasons indicating
contribution of industrial emission sources during the summer in addition to its appearance in the heating
season. Nevertheless, recently encouraged use of the individual biofuels such as biochar, bio-oil, methanol,
and crude glycerol, could not be distinguished by applied methodology from the mixed ones. Use of HP Ge
spectrometry for 210Pb/Pb ratio and K concentrations determination should be considered in specific cases
only, due to differences in sampling periods and sample preparation procedures for radionuclides and PM2.5
elemental analysis. Obtained results support the use of nuclear analytical techniques for analysis as well as
development of new tools and techniques for simple and efficient control of biofuel combustion products in
emission exhausts, having in mind the intention of their more frequent application in everyday life in urban
areas.

AB  - Public parks and open playgrounds are the most important compartments of the urban environment due to their role in sustaining the well-being of city residents, primarily through relaxation and recreation. To determine the occurrence, levels, and sources of 16 US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and consequent human health risk, soil samples from 18 parks and playgrounds from Kruševac, a mid-sized city in Serbia, were collected and analyzed. The concentrations of PAHs were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The total concentration of selected PAHs ranged from 14 to 121 µg kg−1, with a mean of 55 µg kg−1. The measured concentrations of individual PAHs were well below limits set by national legislation and were much lower than reported values for cities worldwide. Principal component analyses and positive matrix factorization were employed to identify possible PAH sources. Traffic emissions and coal, firewood, and natural gas combustion were identified as the main sources of PAHs in the analyzed soil. The most polluted soil samples were found in parks and playgrounds near busy roads and in the most densely populated city districts. A risk assessment procedure established by the US EPA showed no significant risk, either carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic, associated with exposure to PAHs in the soil for adults and children who use parks and open playgrounds for recreational purposes.

AB  - A significant part of the population in Serbia relies on central heating systems during
the winter months, with around fifty heating plants in operation across the country.
Common fuels used in these plants primarily include fossil fuels such as fuel oil and
natural gas. Combustion of some of these fuels leads to significant emissions of air
pollutants. This study evaluates the impact on the air quality of the two heating boilers
at the Valjevo city (Serbia) heating plant. Air emissions were measured separately for
two heating boilers in the facility using standard reference methodology. The
AERMOD air dispersion model was used to estimate the dispersion of various
pollutants. A combination of topographical and meteorological data was used to set
up a receptor grid exposed to air pollution within a 10 km radius around the heating
plant. It was found that the resulting distribution and concentration gradient of
pollutant gases and particles were less inclined towards the city centre and instead
spread eastwards into the surrounding villages. The health risk from the fuel oil boiler
was shown to be significantly higher than that caused by the natural gas-fuelled boiler.
Nevertheless, the calculated carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks were
within acceptable limits. However, further research is required to adequately assess
the cumulative health risk generated by other surrounding emitters.

AB  - The Republic of Serbia generates the majority of its electricity at the thermal power plants (TE) Nikola Tesla, Kolubara, and Kostolac. Coal is extracted from the Kolubara basin, which produces approximately 70% of lignite (an average of 30 million tons per year), and the Kostolac basin, which produces 30% of lignite. Ash, fly ash, and slag are examples of coal combustion residues. Because of the high content of potentially hazardous elements such as As, Pb, Cd, and Cr, environmental pollution with ash and fly ash has been extensively researched. Stable isotopes of lead can be used to trace lead sources. It is possible to monitor the presence, transformation pathways, and environmental impact of Pb by determining its isotopic composition in coal and fly ash. For the first time, the isotopic composition of selected coal samples from the Kolubara and Kostolac mines, as well as fly ash from the Kolubara (A and B), Kostolac (A and B), and Nikola Tesla (TENT A3, A2, B2) thermal power plants, was investigated in this study. The obtained data for 206Pb/207Pb in coal serve as the foundation for ranking domestic coals, whereas the isotopic ratios 206Pb/207Pb and 208Pb/207Pb  in fly ash can be used to monitor and control lead pollution from investigated sources.

AB  - This study investigated the use of different natural raw soil materials as low-cost adsorbents for
the removal to remove As(V) and Pb(II) from aqueous systems. It deals with the effect of different soil textures, sandy loam, loam, and loamy sand, on adsorption efficiency. Fourier-transform
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to carry out the comprehensive characterization of
materials, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and liquid
nitrogen porosimetry or the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). Studies were performed in a batch
system; the initial concentration of examined heavy metals was 100 μg·L–1, pH varied in the range
of 4–6, and the adsorbent dosage was 5–20 mg/10 mL. Sandy loam was the most efficient adsorbent for As(V) separation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 47.5%, while the loam was the
most efficient for Pb(II) separation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 94.2%. The removal
efficiency was affected mainly by the adsorbent characteristics. Performed kinetic studies revealed
two steps of adsorption for both investigated ions. Obtained results indicate that natural sorbents
used in this work present environmentally sustainable material for As(V) and Pb(II) removal,
on the one hand, and the basis for further studies on the simultaneous removal of heavy metals
from water and their reduced mobility in soil, on the other.

the removal to remove As(V) and Pb(II) from aqueous systems. It deals with the effect of different soil textures, sandy loam, loam, and loamy sand, on adsorption efficiency. Fourier-transform
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to carry out the comprehensive characterization of
materials, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and liquid
nitrogen porosimetry or the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). Studies were performed in a batch
system; the initial concentration of examined heavy metals was 100 μg·L–1, pH varied in the range
of 4–6, and the adsorbent dosage was 5–20 mg/10 mL. Sandy loam was the most efficient adsorbent for As(V) separation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 47.5%, while the loam was the
most efficient for Pb(II) separation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 94.2%. The removal
efficiency was affected mainly by the adsorbent characteristics. Performed kinetic studies revealed
two steps of adsorption for both investigated ions. Obtained results indicate that natural sorbents
used in this work present environmentally sustainable material for As(V) and Pb(II) removal,
on the one hand, and the basis for further studies on the simultaneous removal of heavy metals
from water and their reduced mobility in soil, on the other.",

AB  - A significant proportion of homes and apartments in Serbia are still reliant on central heating systems during
winter months, with about fifty heating plants in operation. Common fuels used in these plants primarily
include fossil fuels such as coal, fuel oil, and natural gas. Some of these fuels have a high sulfur content, leading
to an increased concentration of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter in the atmosphere (Todorović et al, 2020;
Todorović et al, 2021). This study compares and evaluates the environmental impact of the two heating boilers
at the Valjevo city (Serbia) heating plant. The AERMOD air dispersion model was used for estimating the
concentrations of the various pollutants (Kakosimos et al, 2011; Mokhtar et al, 2014; Shaikh et al, 2020). Onsite
emission data were gathered separately for the two heating boilers at the facility fuelled by natural gas and fuel
oil, respectively. A combination of topographical and historical meteorological data were used to set up a
receptor grid that was exposed to the gas emission in a radius of 10 km. The environmental impact from the
fuel oil boiler was shown to be significantly higher than that caused by the natural gas-fuelled boiler. The
resulting distribution of pollutant gases and particles showed that the concentration gradient is less inclined
towards the city centre and instead spreads eastwards into the surrounding villages. The data were used to
evaluate carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks. It was found that the health risk was acceptable for
different averaging periods. However, further study is still required in order to properly assess the cumulative
health risk generated by other surrounding industries.

AB  - The study was aimed at assessing the human health risk potentially induced by the presence of natural
radionuclides and their decay chain daughters in the soil of the area impacted by coal combustion in the
largest Serbian coal-based thermoelectric power plant “Nikola Tesla A”. The total intakes of 40K, 226Ra
and 232Th for residents in the study area through ingestion and inhalation of soil particles, ingestion of
fruits and vegetables, as well as external irradiation, were evaluated, and the derived carcinogenic risk
was characterized applying methodology of the US EPA based on minimal, median and maximal values
of specific activities of mentioned radionuclides in soil measured by gamma-ray spectroscopy. The total
excess lifetime cancer risk was in the range (1.70–3.91) × 10-4, which is higher than the established
target value of 10-4. Ingestion of homegrown produce was identified as an exposure route of the most
concern, followed by external irradiation originating from radionuclides investigated. The risk posed by
inhalation of soil particles found to be negligible, while direct ingestion of soil resulted with total risk
slightly above the US EPA screening level of 10-6. The results of the study will contribute to a better
understanding of the radiation hazard coming from natural radioactivity in the Serbian region that is
most affected by operation of coal-fired thermoelectric power plant.

AB  - The content of trace elements (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in surface soils in the area surrounding the largest coal-fired power plant in Serbia was determined to assess the contribution of emissions to pollution. Analysis of mutual associations between the trace elements and their correlation with soil particle size fractions indicated anthropogenic origin at most sampling sites. Enrichment factor analysis confirmed these findings. Common patterns in trace element concentrations of the analysed soils were identified by hierarchical cluster analysis. Explanatory spatial analysis, used for characterization and mapping of spatial variability patterns, revealed the highest concentrations of trace elements in areas in predominant wind directions.
