AB  - This study focussed on a comprehensive investigation on the state of pollution and identification of potential sources of contamination of some river sediments in Serbia by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and is the basis for setting up further monitoring programs. The sediment quality of the Danube River (km 1433-845) and its tributaries in Serbia, including the Sava River (km 202-1), were analysed with respect to PAHs and total organic carbon (TOC). We found that total PAH concentration in the sediments from the Danube and its tributaries (10.0-4140 mu g kg(-1)) was lower than total PAH concentration in Sava River sediments (265.1-11272 mu g kg(-1)). Principal component analysis showed that concentrations of benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, pyrene, fluoranthene, indeno[1,2,3- cd]pyrene, benzo[a] pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[k]fluoranthene in the sediments were correlated with TOC. The diagnostic ratios anthracene/(anthracene+phenanthrene) and fluoranthene/(fluoranthene+ pyrene) were calculated to evaluate the emission sources of the PAHs. Therefore, these ratios indicated the predominantly pyrogenic source of the PAHs in the sediments. Results have also shown that river sediments in the Danube and Sava rivers and their tributaries were not recently polluted with PAHs, excluding only one location - S4, downstream of Sabac and characterized by heavily polluted sediment.

AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of freshwater sediments by means of three chemometric techniques for multi-criteria analysis and decision: self-organizing network (SON), self-organizing map (SOM) and PROMETHEE&GAIA (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation with Geometrical Analysis for Interactive Aid). Selected chemometric techniques were applied to the results of Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Hg and As content in thirty Danube and fourteen Sava river sediment samples from Serbia. The potential toxicity of sediments was estimated using Probable Effect Concentrations quotients (mean PEC-Q). According to the SON analysis the Danube sediment samples were divided into three classes, Class I (mean PEC-Q range 0.27-0.51), Class II (mean PEC-Qrange 0:50-0.70), and Class III (mean PEC-Qrange 0.77-0.97), while the Sava samples were divided into two classes, Class II (two samples, mean PEC-Qvalues 0.65 and 0.69) and Class III (mean PEC-Q range 0.69-1.00). Using the SOM cluster analysis, both Danube and Sava sediment samples were classified into five subclusters, on the basis of the metal concentration level and further ranked into three levels (for remediation, moderately polluted and not polluted) by the use of multi-criteria ranking PROMETHEE method. Graphical presentation of the results obtained by PROMETHEE method using GAIA descriptive tool has provided an insight into the distribution of examined elements in sediments and has shown a significant correlation between some elements. On the basis of the results obtained, it has been concluded that the proposed chemometric approach could provide useful information in the sediment quality assessment.

AB  - Belgrade is the largest city in Serbia located at the confluence of river Sava to the Danube river. The quality of water and sediments of rivers which run through Belgrade is of a significant importance, since water from these rivers is a source of Belgrade drinking water supply system and probable anthropogenic contamination is related to industrialization and inputs of sewage water. In order to follow the sediment quality of river Sava (km 62-1) and river Danube (km 1193-1124) in Belgrade and its surroundings, the content of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb and Hg were measured in the period 2001-2005. The content of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was measured in 2005. The results have shown that, due to the metal content, examined Danube sediment quality varies from class 1 to class 3, predominantly nickel being the class determining parameter. Elevated copper, zinc and mercury concentrations were measured at some profiles, as well. Typically due to the nickel content, Sava sediment quality belongs to class 3 in the period 2001-2004. Elevated concentrations of cadmium, zinc and mercury were observed in 2001, as well. Moreover, in 2005, sediments from three profiles were extremely polluted with nickel, leading the Sava sediment to class 4, when highest urgency measures are needed. Total PAH concentration in the sediments from Danube (213.1-575.4 mu g kg(-1)) was lower than total PAH concentration from Sava sediments (416.2-595.3 mu g kg(-1)). Nevertheless, according to the Dutch regulatory system, it has been concluded that river sediments in Belgrade and its surroundings were not polluted with PAHs in 2005.

AB  - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analysed in 39 soil samples (0-10 cm upper layer) collected in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The sampling sites were randomly selected from urban, urban/recreational and rural areas; the samples were collected in April and December 2003 and July and October 2004. The sum of the 16 PAHs corresponding to the recreational zone (298 mu g/kg) was close to the urban zone (375 mu g/kg). Mean soil Sigma PAH concentration from rural areas was 18 mu g/kg dry weight. Comparing to values observed in the urbanized locations around the world, the overall levels of PAHs in this study are low. The PAH ratios obtained pointed to a domination of pyrogenically formed PAHs in the examined soils. The dominant PAHs in soil samples in urban zones were fluoranthene, benz[a]anthracene, phenanthrene and pyrene, mostly emitted from noncatalyst vehicles which are still in use in Serbia. The total carcinogenic potency for each sampling site was calculated. Regardless of the used carcinogenic activity factors, carcinogenic potency of 7 sites were 3-9 times higher than the reference ones indicating the increased carcinogenic burden of soils from these sites.
