AB  - The occurrence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), including twelve heavy metal(loid)s (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Hg, As, Co, V, Fe, Mn), fluoride (F−), and nitrate (NO3−) was evaluated in groundwater in the copper mining and smelter area of Bor city (south Carpathian, eastern Serbia). Groundwater samples were analyzed to determine the extent of pollution, identify natural and anthropogenic input of PTEs, and estimate potential human health risks due to exposure to these substances. The results revealed that the groundwater in the study area was highly contaminated with PTEs, particularly Cu and Zn. Multivariate analysis supported the natural and anthropogenic origin of PTEs, with Fe, Mn, and F− classified as naturally occurring, NO3− resulting from agricultural activities, while other PTEs were linked to smelter/mining processes. Geospatial mapping discovered several hotspots with potential high non-cancer and cancer risks to humans through ingestion pathway. From the studied PTEs, As is the most health risk contributing toxic element. The source-specific probabilistic risk assessment indicated the most significant contribution to the hazard index and total cancer risk from accidental leakage of metallurgical wastewater and wastewater from open mine pits. Monte Carlo analysis identified the human body weight and the ingestion rate as the most sensitive risk parameters. The study underscores the need for stringent environmental management measures, emphasizing the critical role of source-specific risk assessments in mitigating potential hazards associated with metallurgical wastewater and open mine pits.

AB  - Population growth, urbanization, industry, floods, and agriculture globally degrade groundwater in river plains, necessitating action for its quality assessment and management. Hence, a comprehensive methodology, including hydrogeochemical facies (Piper, Gibbs), irrigation indices (SAR, Wilcox), entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI), positive matrix factorization (PMF), and Monte Carlo simulation of source-specific health risks was used in this study to analyze groundwater in the Morava river plain (Serbia). The results revealed a prevalent Ca–Mg–HCO3 groundwater type, influenced by water–rock interactions. Although groundwater was found suitable for irrigation, only 66.7 % of the samples were considered drinkable. Agricultural activities, natural processes, and municipal wastewater were identified as primary pollution sources. The incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) and hazard index (HI) threshold exceedance for adults and children ranged from 8.5 % to 39 % of the samples, with arsenic identified as the most risk-contributing contaminant. These findings provide valuable insights for researchers studying groundwater vulnerability in river plains.

AB  - One of the most BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and a mixture of o-, m- and pxylenes) compounds are prominent environmental pollutants commonly found in discharges and
petroleum products. These volatile aromatic compounds (VOCs) are severely toxic to living
organisms if contact is maintained. They originate from incomplete combustion of organic matter,
and their major sources to the urban environment include vehicular emissions (mobile source),
gasoline evaporation, coal burning and residential heating, and waste incineration (stationary
sources). Water sediments are not well known as a source of BTEX. However, it is crucial to consider
that they can act as a source, as well as sink, of organic compounds, especially in a water body
located in an urban city exposed excessively to the above-mentioned sources of BTEX. In this study,
we aimed to identify and quantitatively analyze VOCs compounds in sediment by using purge-andtrap (P&T) gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).

AB  - Air quality monitoring is necessary due to various pollutants that can have a harmful effect
on human health. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a pollutant of concern because it is very toxic at low
concentrations. It is an odorless and colorless gas that is very difficult to detect. In recent years,
passive sensors have been widely used to analyze CO in ambient air. The CO sensor for commercial
use must be stable during operation and have a linear and reproducible output over a long period.
Hence, developing CO gas sensors with high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability is essential. This
study compared three types of CO gas sensors: electrochemical, metal-oxide semiconductors, and
colorimetric. Each of these sensors is characterized by specific advantages and disadvantages;
therefore, their comparative analysis is presented, and their most important characteristics are
emphasized.

AB  - One of the most significant sources of drinking water is groundwater. Therefore, it is

, Cl-
, SO4
2-
, Na+
, K+
, Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe, Mn, and As. To determine groundwater facies and
sources of pollution, three multivariate statistical analysis techniques were applied. Hierarchical
Cluster Analysis (HCA) was used to group groundwater samples based on their similar chemical
characteristics and to determine the dominant hydrochemical groundwater type. According to HCA
results, groundwater samples were clustered into three groups, including Cluster 1 (72.3%), Cluster
2 (19.7%), and Cluster 3 (7.9%), and the main groundwater type was Ca-HCO3 type. Factor Analysis
(FA) incorporated with Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to determine the main sources
of pollution. Water-rock interactions and agricultural practices were identified as primary pollution
sources in the investigated area.

AB  - Urban lakes sediments unfortunately have received a large amount of
wastewater containing various contaminants such as heavy metals (HMs). Heavy
metals in urban lake sediments mainly originate from industrial discharge, heating
sources, traffic emissions and waste from municipal activities. The human health
and the whole ecosystems are threatened with potential harmful effects of following
metal pollutants As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn, due to their persistence, nondegradability, inherent toxicity, and bioaccumulation1. Therefore, the analysis of
lake sediments is a useful and important approach to characterize environmental pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Due to the diverse environmental conditions and
sources of HMs, different pollution indices are used to assess the anthropogenic
impact of PTEs in sediment samples2,3. In this study, ecological risk assessment of
the urban shallow lake sediments in Central Serbia by HMs was analyzed by
calculating single and multi- pollution indices and using multivariate techniques to
reveal the associated adverse effects of the investigated contaminants.

AB  - The current study investigated the concentrations, possible sources, toxicity, and ecological risk of eight heavy metal(loid)s (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn) and sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface sediments in the port of Prahovo (Danube, Serbia). Among the examined HMs, the most abundant was Cu (38.3 mg/kg), followed by Zn. The Σ16PAHs concentrations ranged from 25 to 112.5 µg/kg, with 4-ring PAHs (17.3 µg/kg) being the most dominant in the study area. The mean and maximum values of HMs and PAHs obtained in this study were below the national regulatory limits and within environmental criteria. Particularly significant correlations between As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, 5-, 6-ring PAHs, as well as between Pb and Hg, indicated their similar anthropogenic sources, pathways, and adsorption mechanisms. These findings were confirmed by cluster analysis and principal component analysis. Diagnostic ratios demonstrated that contamination in inner port stations was characterized by pyrogenic sources, while PAHs of petrogenic origin prevailed in samples near the port entrance. The mean ERM quotient (mERMq), toxic risk index (TRI), and toxic equivalent quotient (TEQ) were also calculated to assess the toxicity of the investigated HMs and PAHs in sediments. Positive matrix factorization suggested four potential sources as the main components of sediment contamination, whereas the risk assessment indicated a low or relatively insignificant risk of adverse biological effects from the combined toxicity of HMs and PAHs for the entire study area.

AB  - Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) play an important role in economic development since they are used in various branches of industry. However, all industrial activities emit HMs into the environment, where they are no longer useful but potentially toxic. It has been observed that HMs enter the soil and sediment, and potential human health risk may arise due to their excessive accumulation. Having in mind the importance of assessing the risk due to HMs in these media, we analyzed published works in the last decade and created a summary of exposure factors in health risk models for HMs in soil and sediment. This analysis revealed a remarkable increase in the number of publications about health risk assessment of HMs, especially in the last few years. Since many differences in the values of the exposure factors and their distributions were noted, this study focused on elucidating these differences. Non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risk assessment models were evaluated through a deterministic approach that is prevalent in use, and a probabilistic one, which is gaining more and more attention in research. In the end, guided by the studied literature, we propose the values and distributions for the exposure factors.

AB  - The content of twenty-one essential and toxic elements in fresh, dried, and processed peppers (Capsicum annuum) obtained from the Serbian market was analyzed. The concentration of the elements varied significantly between the analyzed samples. The most abundant essential element was K with an average concentration of 8.4 g/kg fresh weight. All processed products also had increased Na content, reaching a maximum value of 15.8 g/kg fresh weight in peppers from the pepper-meat products. Toxic elements Pb, Cd, and As were found in all analyzed samples, while Hg was detected in a few samples. Based on guideline values or recommended dietary intake, pepper and pepper products are not a significant source of essential elements. The health risk assessment was conducted by calculating target hazard quotient (THQ) and carcinogenic risk (CR), as well as comparing estimated weekly (Al, Hg, Cd) and daily intake (As, Pb) with appropriate PTWI and BMDL values. The risk assessment results indicate that peppers and pepper products are mostly safe for consumption both for adults and children. However, consumption of some pepper samples may pose a health risk due to an incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) value higher than 10−4

AB  - This study collected agricultural surface soil samples from 200 sites in the district of Braničevo, located in the Carpathian Mountains – Pannonian Basin south of the Danube River (Serbia). The main objective was to determine the soil contamination by ten potentially toxic elements (As, B, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn) and evaluate the associated ecological risk via different indices. The physicochemical parameters, pH, organic carbon, water content, and soil texture were also analyzed. The mean values of most metal concentrations remained below their corresponding national target values, except for Mo and Ni. The main soil texture types were silt loam (40.5 %) and silty clay loam (34.5 %). According to the mean values, pollution load index (PLI) and potential ecological risk (RI) demonstrated that the soil in the study area was exposed to moderate pollution and moderate ecological risk, while enrichment factor (EF), geoaccumulation index (Igeo), and contamination factor (CF) revealed very high enrichment and contamination with Mo, implying the impact of anthropogenic activities. There was a lack of strong correlations among elements and soil properties, except for Cd and Corg, while moderate to strong positive inter-metal relationships suggested their common sources. The chemometric analysis illustrated the classification of sampling sites into two distinct clusters of spatial similarities according to higher and lower metal concentrations. Geospatial mapping identified a few areas of considerable ecological risk. © 2022,Carpathian Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences. All Rights Reserved.

AB  - Soil samples collected from two districts of southern Serbia, Pčinja and Jablanica, were
analyzed in order to determine the content of eleven heavy metals and metalloids (As, B,
Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn). The concentration of the elements was measured by
atomic absorption spectrometry in 152 samples collected from agricultural land. The main
goal was to assess the environmental and health risk of eleven heavy metals and metalloids
tested in the soil. To determine the degree of soil contamination, measured concentrations
were compared with limits and remediation values given in the Serbian Rulebook. It was
determined that the average content of tested elements in mg/kg was: As (12.76), B
(113.73), Cd (1.10), Cr (58.01), Cu (29.62), Hg (0.33), Mn (1067.89), Mo (0.21), Ni
(34.85), Pb (233.38), Zn (64.49). The average content of all examined trace elements in
soil did not exceed the remediation values. However, the average content of Cd, Hg, Pb
exceeded the limit values. Five pollution indices were used to assess environmental risk:
enrichment factor (EF), geoaccumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (CF),
pollution load index (PLI), and potential environmental risk index (RI). Based on EF and
Igeo, it was concluded that the biggest problem was As, Hg and Pb. More than half of the
samples are moderately contaminated with Pb, over 30% of samples are heavily
contaminated with Hg, while some samples were highly polluted with As. Contamination
factor, as well as PLI and RI, showed moderate contamination of the soil with Hg and Cd.
The health risk assessment was estimated by hazard index (HI) and the carcinogenic risk
index (CR), which determine the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects that heavy
metals can cause in the human body, throught ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact
with contaminated soil. This study showed that there was no non-carcinogenic risk as
adults-hazard index (HI) calculated for each sample was less than one. On the other hand,
there was a higher risk for children's health since over 85% of soil samples had HI values
greater than one. Combine carcinogenic risk of all elements was estimated with lifetime
carcinogenic risk (LCR). There is no risk of developing cancer in both groups because
more than 90% of the samples had acceptable carcinogenic risk values between 1,0*10-6
i 1,0*10-4, while a small number had concern LCR values grater than 1,0*10-4.

samples are moderately contaminated with Pb, over 30% of samples are heavily
contaminated with Hg, while some samples were highly polluted with As. Contamination
factor, as well as PLI and RI, showed moderate contamination of the soil with Hg and Cd.
The health risk assessment was estimated by hazard index (HI) and the carcinogenic risk
index (CR), which determine the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects that heavy
metals can cause in the human body, throught ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact
with contaminated soil. This study showed that there was no non-carcinogenic risk as
adults-hazard index (HI) calculated for each sample was less than one. On the other hand,
there was a higher risk for children's health since over 85% of soil samples had HI values
greater than one. Combine carcinogenic risk of all elements was estimated with lifetime
carcinogenic risk (LCR). There is no risk of developing cancer in both groups because
more than 90% of the samples had acceptable carcinogenic risk values between 1,0*10-6
i 1,0*10-4, while a small number had concern LCR values grater than 1,0*10-4.",

AB  - A survey was made to analyze the geostatistical (GIS) distribution of the health risk of toxic
trace metal(loid)s in the industrial soil located in the facility of an abandoned paints manufacturing company. A total of eighty surface soil samples were collected, and their concentrations determined. The mean concentration values of the elements were 7.8; 2.7; 55; 49;
0.21; 56; 114; and 239 mg/kg for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn, respectively. There was
no non-carcinogenic health risk from the soil samples for adults, but it was hazardous soil
for children with the excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) values exceeding the reference value
of 10-4 for all studied samples. Most contributing toxic metal(loid)s to non-carcinogenic risk
were Cr and As, whereas Pb and As were most responsible for cancer risk. Geospatial mapping of the hazard index (HI) and ELCR localized different hotspots seriously polluted by
toxic metal(loid)s, which pose a significant risk in the area. These hotspots coincided with
the evidence of transport-related activities and spillage of chemicals in the past. This GIS
spatial distribution study could be a valuable aid in remediation planning.
