AB  - Of major interest, especially in city environments, and increasingly inside vehicles or industrial plants, is the drive to reduce human exposure to nitrogen oxides (NOx). This trend has drawn increasing attention to filtration, which has developed remarkably owing to the capabilities of recently developed mathematical models and novel filter concepts. This paper reports on the study of the kinetic modelling of adsorption of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), collected from the tailpipe of a diesel engine, reacting to calcium nitrate salt (Ca(NO3)2) on a surface flow filter consisting of a coating of fine ground limestone or marble (CaCO3) in combination with micro-nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC) acting as binder and humectant applied onto a multiply recycled newsprint substrate. The coating and substrate are both porous, but on different pore size scales, with the coating having significantly lower permeability. To maximise gas-coating contact, therefore, the coating deposition is pixelated, achieved by pin coating. An axially dispersed gaseous plug flow model (dispersion model) was used to simulate the transport within the coating pore network structure, following earlier flow modelling studies, and a kinetic reaction model was used to examine NO2 to NO3− conversion in correlation with experimental results. Modelling results indicate a 60.38% conversion of exposed NO2 gas to Ca(NO3)2 under the specific conditions applied, with an absolute relative error between the predicted and experimentally estimated value being 0.81%. The model additionally enabled a prediction of effects of changing parameters over a limited perturbation range, thus assisting in predicting filter element consumption, with attention given to the active component CaCO3 surface as a function of particle size in relation to the gas contact exchange, promoting the reaction over time. It is intended that the Ca(NO3)2 formed from the reaction can go on to be used as a value-added fertiliser, thus contributing to circular economy. Graphical abstract: (Figure presented.)

AB  - Unlike established coating formulations, functional particulate coatings often demand the omission of polymer dispersant so as to retain surface functionality. This results in heterogeneous complex rheology. We take an example from a novel development for an NOx mitigation surface flow filter system, in which ground calcium carbonate (GCC), applied in a coating, reacts with NO2 releasing CO2. Inclusion of mesoporous ancillary mineral acts to capture the CO2. The coating is applied as droplets to maximize gas-contact dynamic by forming a pixelated 2D array using a coating device consisting of protruding pins, which are loaded by submersion in the aqueous coating color such that the adhering droplets are transferred onto the substrate. The flow is driven by surface meniscus wetting causing lateral spread and bulk pore permeation. Filamentation occurs during the retraction of the pins. Stress-related viscoelastic and induced dilatancy in the suspension containing the ancillary mesoporous mineral disrupts processability. Adopting shear, oscillation and extensional rheometric methods, we show that the inclusion of an ancillary mineral that alone absorbs water, e.g., perlite (a naturally occurring porous volcanic glass), is rheologically preferable to one that in addition to absorbing water also immobilizes it on the mineral surface, e.g., sepiolite. When including micro-nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC), critical for maintaining moisture to support NO2 sorption, it is observed that it acts also as a flow modifier, enabling uniform coating transfer to be achieved, thus eliminating any possible detrimental effect on mineral surface activity by avoiding the use of soluble polymeric dispersant.

AB  - Ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM][Cl] was used to prepare cellulose (CELL), cellulose/polycaprolactone (CELL/PCL), cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin (CELL/PCL/KER), and cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin/ground calcium carbonate (CELL/PCL/KER/GCC) biodegradable mulch films. Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, optical microscopy, and Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to verify the films’ surface chemistry and morphology. Mulch film made of only cellulose regenerated from ionic liquid solution exhibited the highest tensile strength (75.3 ± 2.1 MPa) and modulus of elasticity of 944.4 ± 2.0 MPa. Among samples containing PCL, CELL/PCL/KER/GCC is characterized by the highest tensile strength (15.8 ± 0.4 MPa) and modulus of elasticity (687.5 ± 16.6 MPa). The film’s breaking strain decreased for all samples containing PCL upon the addition of KER and KER/GCC. The melting temperature of pure PCL is 62.3 °C, whereas that of CELL/PCL film has a slight tendency for melting point depression (61.0 °C), which is a characteristic of partially miscible polymer blends. Furthermore, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis revealed that the addition of KER or KER/GCC to CELL/PCL films resulted in an increment in melting temperature from 61.0 to 62.6 and 68.9 °C and an improvement in sample crystallinity by 2.2 and 3.0 times, respectively. The light transmittance of all studied samples was greater than 60%. The reported method for mulch film preparation is green and recyclable ([BMIM][Cl] can be recovered), and the inclusion of KER derived by extraction from waste chicken feathers enables conversion to organic biofertilizer. The findings of this study contribute to sustainable agriculture by providing nutrients that enhance the growth rate of plants, and hence food production, while reducing environmental pressure. The addition of GCC furthermore provides a source of Ca2+ for plant micronutrition and a supplementary control of soil pH.

cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin (CELL/PCL/KER) and cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin/ground calcium carbonate (CELL/PCL/KER/GCC) were prepared using Ionic liquid as a green
solvent. Pure cellulose biopolymer is characterised by better mechanical properties (tensile
strength - force per unit cross-sectional area at breakage - of 75.3 MPa and modulus of elasticity
of 944.4 MPa) than the other studied samples which is attributed to the formation of partially

tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. The addition of KER or KER/GCC to CELL/PCL films
resulted in an increment in melting temperature and an improvement of sample crystallinity. The
light transmittance of all films was >60 %. The incorporation of KER enhanced the
biodegradability of the biocomposites, while KER/GCC addition slightly inhibited degradation
due to an increased hydrophobicity and crystallisation growth of semi-crystalline biopolymers.
The reported method for mulch film preparation is green and recyclable, and, when including a

AB  - This investigation represents a novel approach for tuning the jute structure and properties using sodium periodate (NaIO4) oxidation. The obtained results revealed that the jute fabrics exhibited an increase in the aldehyde group content (for up to 114.7%) with an increase in the NaIO4 concentration and/or oxidation duration. Due to the decline in the cellulose lateral order index (LOI) and fiber crystallinity index after oxidation, it can be concluded that jute crystalline areas are affected by sodium periodate oxidation. Both mentioned parameters are responsible for fabric mechanical properties, so, it was expected that by decreasing the LOI and jute fibers’ crystallinity, their maximum force and stiffness will decrease too. This behavior is also attributed to the fiber damage, which is the most pronounced for the fabric treated with 0.4% NaIO4 for 120 min. Besides slightly deteriorated mechanical properties, fabrics oxidized with 0.2% NaIO4 for 60 or 120 min and with 0.4% NaIO4 for 60 min showed lower mass loss (6.78-12.22%) after 750 abrasion cycles compared to the raw jute (18.94%). Furthermore, oxidation led to obtaining fabrics with enhanced moisture sorption and water retention power that are inversely proportional to the fiber crystallinity. Due to the opportunity for tuning fiber structure and properties oxidized fabrics can be considered for various applications such as geo-prebiotic supports for cyanobacteria growth in biocarpet engineering, i.e., to promote a sustainable relationship between the microbiota and abiotic constituents on the degraded land surface.

Both mentioned parameters are responsible for fabric mechanical properties, so, it was expected that by decreasing the LOI and jute fibers’ crystallinity, their maximum force and stiffness will decrease too. This behavior is also attributed to the fiber damage, which is the most pronounced for the fabric treated with 0.4% NaIO4 for 120 min. Besides slightly deteriorated mechanical properties, fabrics oxidized with 0.2% NaIO4 for 60 or 120 min and with 0.4% NaIO4 for 60 min showed lower mass loss (6.78-12.22%) after 750 abrasion cycles compared to the raw jute (18.94%). Furthermore, oxidation led to obtaining fabrics with enhanced moisture sorption and water retention power that are inversely proportional to the fiber crystallinity. Due to the opportunity for tuning fiber structure and properties oxidized fabrics can be considered for various applications such as geo-prebiotic supports for cyanobacteria growth in biocarpet engineering, i.e., to promote a sustainable relationship between the microbiota and abiotic constituents on the degraded land surface.",

AB  - The quality of cotton and cotton/elastane single jersey knitted fabrics before and after softening was evaluated through their mechanical properties, pilling, and volume electrical resistivity. Elastane-containing fabrics have higher bursting elongation and stiffness, lower bursting strength, the same or higher pilling grade, and 23–27% lower electrical resistivities compared to 100% cotton due to the increased compactness that enables better contact between the loops, and easier flow of charge through them. Softening does not affect or slightly improves the fabric pilling (up to 1000 cycles); it decreases fabrics’ stiffness and increases their bursting strength and electrical resistivities. The last one was significantly decreased after the in situ synthesis of Cu-based nanoparticles on fabrics’ surfaces. Namely, fabrics were first treated with sodium alginate whose carboxylate groups crosslinked Cu2+-ions (from CuSO4 solution) that were further reduced with ascorbic acid. In situ synthesis of Cu-based nanoparticles (detected by FESEM) improves the fabrics’ quality and enables obtaining multifunctional fabrics having 3.4–9.6 times lower resistivities, which are in line with the content of Cu after reduction (determined using ICP-OES), up to 2.5 times higher antioxidant activity and provided maximum microbial reduction for E. Coli, S. aureus, and C. albicans.

AB  - Cellulose and cellulose-CaCO3 dopes were prepared by ultrasound dispersion of CaCO3 (0, 0.26,
or 0.65 w/w%) and dissolution of cellulose (13 w/w%) in ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-
methylimidazolium acetate at 90 °C. Thereafter, the films were obtained by rode casting over a
pre-heated glass plate, together with methanol used as a regeneration agent. Subsequently, the
films were washed in hot water (80 °C) to remove the residual ionic liquid solvent - a process that
can be extended to recover ionic liquid for re-use. To impart antimicrobial properties to the
cellulose-CaCO3 composite films, selected samples of the wet films were treated with 10 mM
CuSO4 solution for different times (30, 60, and 120 min). Furthermore, half of these CuSO4 treated
films were subsequently treated with ascorbic acid to synthesise in situ Cu-based nanoparticles on
the film surface. After drying whilst held under tension at room temperature, the films were
characterised in respect to their mechanical properties as well as antimicrobial activity. The results
revealed that, in the case of films treated for 30 min with CuSO4 solution, the incorporation of
0.26 w/w% CaCO3 correlated with an increase in the film hardness, while in the case where the
treatment with CuSO4 solution was performed for longer (60 min) this hardness trend was
reversed. The elastic modulus decreased with increasing content of CaCO3. Only the films treated
with CuSO4, and those with Cu-based nanoparticles, possessed excellent antimicrobial activity
against the bacteria E. coli, S. aureus, and the fungus C. albicans. However, the results in the case
of C. albicans, showed an additional dependence, in that films treated with CuSO4 solution for 60
min demonstrated increasing antimicrobial activity against the fungus specifically with increasing
CaCO3 content.

AB  - Cellulose-fibre lifecycle is severely limited within today’s recycling methodology. Feedstock cellulose and filler abound in products considered uneconomic, unsuitable for standard deinking or too weak for original product re-use. Regeneration of cellulose from ionic liquid (IL) solution offers a novel valorisation route with potential to replace oil-based plastics, simultaneously bringing filler-containing cellulose waste into circular economy. To exemplify, composite cellulose-CaCO3 filaments were produced from cellulose pulp and waste office paper (already containing 27 w/w% precipitated CaCO3filler), without any pretreatment, using diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-enium-acetate ([DHBN][OAc]) as IL solvent to form a dope. The dope suspension was extruded via dry-jet wet spinning. Surface morphology and elemental analysis were investigated using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction was used to measure the degree of cellulose crystallinity. Static and dynamic mechanical properties were determined. Thermal stability was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis. Filaments obtained from waste office paper showed that high filler levels and the presence of print toner enhanced both mechanical and thermal stability, while decreasing, as expected, ultimate breaking strength in comparison to filaments containing virgin cellulose alone. For comparison, 2 w/w% ground CaCO3 introduced into pure cellulose dope led to significant increase in cellulose crystallinity and resulting stiffness, while thermal properties remained unchanged at the low level filler addition. Such addition of CaCO3 during cellulose regeneration, or usage of already filled paper, could be an effective way to obtain high strength cellulose-CaCO3 composite materials, thus valorising in a circular economy renewable cellulosic wastes rejected from the current recycling stream.

AB  - Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) pollutant particles have been identified as significant participants in air pollution, thus, special attention is paid to air filtration as a method of their efficient removal. A novel and simple method of producing nanofiber-based filters for efficient PM2.5 capture with multiple active components are proposed. Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer was used both as a base filter material and as a precursor for producing microporous carbon nanofibers (MCNFs), which incorporated into the nanofibrous structure of the filter media. The fabricated PAN/MCNFs filters could reach removal efficiency of PM2.5 pollutant particles of up to 99% for with polluted air airflow velocity of 500 ml min−1, showing greater pollutant particle binding affinity with incorporated MCNFs. Experiments also show enhanced mechanical and thermal properties of studied air filters, with the addition of MCNFs – more than 4% and 6% increase in storage modulus and cyclization temperature in comparison to the base PAN filter, respectively. While using a facemask with inserted PAN/MCNFs filter, a reduced temperature variation in the facial region of the user was recorded – several degrees less when compared to a commonly used 3 M Aura 9320+ mask. This opens a possibility of their application in both industrial air filtering and as filters in facemask production.

AB  - In this work, we examine two modifications of fine-ground calcium carbonate material (GCC) in order to enhanced sorption of NO2 and subsequent reaction properties toward NO2-/NO3- formation by firstly exposing the GCC to supercritical (sc) CO2 in order to increase particle surface area, a choice specifically made to avoid altering the surface chemistry, and secondly considering the potential advantage of using a surface coupling agent toward NO2. The modification by the coupling agent amino silane (AMEO silane) was applied in a supercritical CO2-ethanol mixture. The samples were characterised before and after modification by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), specific surface area determination (BET nitrogen adsorption), ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and ion chromatography to reveal the effects of the surface modification(s) on the morphology, surface textural properties and sorption versus reaction properties with NO2. The performance of the treated sorbents for NO2 capture was evaluated at room temperature. Results show that reactivity of NO2 with GCC was observed to increase as a function of increased surface area resulting from scCO(2) exposure, but that the presence of AMEO silane on the surface, while enhancing initial adsorption of NO2 was seen subsequently to act to block reactivity. Thus, judicious use of coupling agent can provide desired rapid initial adsorption of the gas, but the goal of long-term CaCO3-consuming reactivity, so as to prolong the uptake of NO2 beyond surface saturation alone, is achieved by increasing surface area while retaining chemical-free exposed CaCO3 surface.

AB  - It has been a persistent challenge to develop eco-friendly packaging cellulose film providing the required multiple barrier properties whilst simultaneously contributing to a circular economy. Typically, a cellulosic film made from nanocellulose materials presents severe limitations, such as poor water/moisture resistance and lacking water vapour barrier properties, related primarily to the hydrophilic and hygroscopic nature of cellulose. In this work, alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) and starch, both eco-friendly, non-toxic, cost-effective materials, were used to achieve barrier properties of novel cellulose–calcium carbonate composite films regenerated from paper components, including paper waste, using ionic liquid as solvent. AKD and starch were applied first into the ionic cellulose solution dope mix, and secondly, AKD alone was coated from hot aqueous suspension onto the film surface using a substrate surface precooling technique. The interactions between the AKD and cellulose film were characterised by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) showing the formation of a ketone ester structure between AKD and the hydroxyl groups of cellulose. The presence of calcium carbonate particles in the composite was seen to enhance the cellulose crystallinity. The initial high-water vapour and oxygen transmission rates of the untreated base films could be decreased significantly from 2.00 to 0.14 g m−2 d−1, and 3.85 × 102 to 0.45 × 102 cm3 m−2 d−1, respectively. In addition, by applying subsequent heat treatment to the AKD coating, the water contact angle was markedly increased to reach levels of superhydrophobicity (>150°, and roll-off angle < 5°). The resistance to water absorption, grease-permeation, and tensile strength properties were ultimately improved by 41.52%, 95.33%, and 127.33%, respectively, compared with those of an untreated pure cellulose film. The resulting regenerated cellulose–calcium carbonate composite-based film and coating formulation can be considered to provide a future bio-based circular economy barrier film, for example, for the packaging, construction and agriculture industries, to complement or replace oil-based plastics.

AB  - This paper aims to reduce the gap between intensified innovative process designs and the application of enzyme technologies at an industrial scale that often take full advantage of microreactor systems. Soybean and potato processing waste was used as the source of peroxidase in both the free and immobilized form for the biodegradation of the Acid Violet 109 anthraquinone dye (AV109) in a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) microreactor which is 0.5 mm in diameter and 6 m in length. High biodegradation efficiencies of 95 and 76% were achieved by soybean and potato peroxidase respectively after 3 min of residence in the microreactor, with a noticeable lack of hydrogen peroxide inhibition. The reactor’s design, with regard to its diameter and length, significantly affected the biodegradation efficiency. The polymer membrane formation by the cross-linking approach with oxidized pectin and soybean or potato peel peroxidase on the inner PTFE wall was SEM confirmed. The cross-linking efficiency with oxidized pectin of both peroxidases is inversely correlated with the activity, hence the highest recorded activity of immobilized peroxidase was 11 and 19μmol/min of soybean and potato peroxidase, respectively, at an initial pectin concentration of 0.05%. A promising reusability for AV109 biodegradation in the microreactor with immobilized soybean and potato peroxidase was confirmed, since the immobilized peroxidases retained 65 and 35% of the initial activity after the tenth cycle, respectively. The LC–MS and GC–MS techniques confirmed the biodegradation of the AV 109 dye, and the intermediates with a lower molecular weight were separated and identified.

AB  - Air pollution is often related to increased concentration of particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5)
pollutant particles in the air. One of the methods of their removal is air filtration. Hereby, a
novel and simple method of producing nanofiber-based air filters with multiple active
components for highly efficient PM2.5 capture is proposed. Micro-porous carbon nanofibers
(MCNFs) were produced by carbonizing electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer and
was later incorporated into the nanofibrous structure of the filters, which itself was made
from electrospun PAN, achieving the production of two active components of the filter from
one starting material, simplifying the production process. When compared to the base PAN
filter, PAN/MCNFs filter exhibits greater filtering properties with almost absolute pollutant
particle removal. Their improved thermal and mechanical properties make this kind of filters
suitable for harsh-condition environments, such as those in industrial plants. The possibility
of using studied filters in facemask production was studied and reduced temperature
variation was recorded when using a facemask with an inserted PAN/MCNFs filter, thus
increasing wearing comfort for the user. All mentioned properties open a potential possibility
for these filters to be used in different environments, but also leave room for further
improvement.

AB  - A novel surface-flow filter has been designed to take advantage of a combination of both diffusion and lateral flow permeation, since active coatings, even if porous, tend to be far less permeable than through-flow constructs. The formation of a continuous coating layer virtually excludes any fluid transport into the coating other than by planar diffusion for gases or capillarity for liquids. This study considers the additional potential advantage of creating a pixelated/patterned coating, applied using a pin coater to form printed dots onto a highly permeable cellulose fibrous paper-like substrate. The coating-fine particulate calcium carbonate combined with micro-nanofibrillated cellulose as binder and humectant-reacts on exposure to NO2 gas to form calcium nitrate. Experimental results show an effective doubling of nitrate-forming efficiency using pixelated coating compared with a reference continuous layer coating. To establish an understanding of the comparative mechanisms of gas-coating contact, computational fluid dynamic modelling is used to generate surface pressure profiles combined with a pore network model of the coating to estimate theoretical fluid permeability and gas diffusion coefficients. Although pressure-driven permeation was calculated to be approximately two orders of magnitude less than the diffusive flow, it is concluded that patterned aerofoil pressure differential effects can reduce the impact of surface stagnant layering and so aid fluid transfer, boosting the diffusive transport, which in turn delivers greater contact efficiency based on the increased accessibility to the active coating.

AB  - Featured Application Surface flow filter for sorption of NOx in city/industrial pollution and conversion into a plant nutrient. Abstract NOx is unavoidably emitted during combustion in air at high temperature and/or pressure, which, if exceeding recommended levels, has a negative impact on the population. The authors found that when moist, limestone (CaCO3) readily sorbs NO2 to form calcium nitrate, which provides the basis for developing a surface flow filter. The substrate was made from "over-recycled" cellulose fibres such as newsprint, magazines, or packaging fibre, which are too weak to be used in further recycling. The substrate was specially-coated with fine-ground calcium carbonate and micro-nano-fibrillated cellulose, which was used as a binder and essential humectant to avoid formation of a stagnant air layer. Pre-oxidation countered the action of denitrification bacteria colonising the cellulose substrate. The by-product CO2 produced in situ during carbonate to nitrate conversion was adsorbed by perlite, which is an inert high surface-area additive. After use, the nitrate-rich CaCO3-cellulose-based filter was proposed to be mulched into a run-off resistant soil fertiliser and micronutrient suitable, e.g., for renewable forestry within the circular economy. Belgrade, Serbia, which is a highly polluted city, was used as a laboratory test bed, and NO2 was successfully removed from an inlet of city air. A construct of street-side self-draughting or municipal/commercial transport vehicle-exterior motion-draught filter boxes is discussed.

AB  - Background/Aim. The northern part of Kosovo was one of the largest lead and zinc production industries in Europe. Special attention has been paid to the landfill sites of these metals remained after past industrial activities. The inhabitants of Roma camps in this area are collecting led waste they process by crushing and melting in their shacks in primitively organized working environments. Because of all the aforementioned it was necessary to examine the concentration of blood lead level (BLL) in the children aged less than 6 years inhabiting this area, especially taking care of blood analysis of children living in Roma camps. Methods. The study was conducted in the municipality of Leposavić, Province Kosovo and Metohija, Serbia. Totally 78 subjects participated in the study. All the subjects were divided into two groups: the group I consisting of 42 children who lived in the Romas camp, and the group II with 36 children from a city kindergarten. Based on the mathematical model WRPLOT we found out that both groups of patients were in the low risk zone for industrial contamination exposure. Blood analysis was done according to the protocol provided by ESA Lead Care. Results. The average age of participants in the study was 4.60 ± 1.63 years. The mean BBL in the children from the group 1 was 19.11 µg/dL and from the group 2 4.87 µg/dL. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean values of BBL between the groups (U = 39, p  lt  0.001). All of the children from the group 1 had BBL greater than 5 µg/dL in comparison to 38.9% of the children from the group 2 (χ2 = 35.75, p  lt  0.001). Conclusion. Although both groups were located outside the zone of direct spread of pollution, the results indicate high concentrations of lead in blood of all the examined children. The concentration was higher in the children who lived in the area in which illegal processing of lead waste took place.
AB  - Uvod/Cilj. Na području severnog Kosova nalazila se jedna od najvećih industrija za proizvodnju olova i cinka u Evropi. Poseban akcenat se stavlja na deponije zaostale nakon ove industrijske proizvodnje. Na ovom području stanovnici u romskim kampovima bave se prikupljanjem olovnog otpada koji prerađuju - drobe i tope, u svojim barakama u primitivno organizovanim radnim sredinama. Zbog svega navedenog, bilo je neophodno ispitati koncentraciju olova u krvi dece mlađe od šest godina koja žive u ovom području, sa posebnim akcentom na analizu krvi dece koja žive u romskim kampovima. Metode. Naše istraživanje sprovedeno je na području opštine Leposavić, Kosovo i Metohija, Srbija, uključujući 78 ispitanika podeljenih u dve grupe: grupa I od 42 dece iz romskog kampa, i grupa II od 36 dece iz gradskog vrtića. Na osnovu matematičkog modela WRPLOT dobili smo podatak da se obe grupe ispitanika nalaze u zoni niskog rizika od izloženosti industrijskom zagađenju. Krv za analizu uzimali smo iz prsta dece. Analiza krvi vršena je prema protokolu predviđenom od ESA Biosciences Lead Care. Rezultati. Prosečna starost ispitanika iznosila je 4,60 ± 1,63 godine. Prosečna koncentracija olova u krvi u grupi I bila je 19,11 µg/dL, a u grupi II 4.87 µg/dL. Postoji statistički visokoznačajna razlika u pogledu koncentracije olova u krvi između ispitivanih grupa (U = 39; p  lt  0,001). Sva deca (100%) iz grupe I imali su koncentracije olova u krvi veće od 5 µg/dL, a iz grupe II (χ2 = 35,75; p  lt  0,001) njih 38,9%. Zaključak. Iako su obe grupe bile locirane van zone direktnog širenja zagađenja, rezultati ukazuju na visoke koncentracije olova u krvi sve ispitivane dece. Koncentracija je veća kod dece koja žive u sredini u kojoj se odvija ilegalna prerada olovnog otpada.

AB  - This work investigates the influence of a high-magnitude flood event on heavy elements (HEs) pollution and mobility in the agricultural soils along Ibar River in Southern Serbia and Northern Kosovo. The study area was one of the most important Pb/Zn industrial regions in Europe. Soil samples (n = 50) collected before and after the floods in May 2014 were subjected to the sequential extraction procedure proposed by the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR). The results indicated that the floods significantly increased not only the pseudo total concentrations of HEs in the soil but also their mobile and potentially bioavailable amounts. Moreover, higher concentrations (both pseudo total and potentially bioavailable) were found in the agricultural soils closer to the industrial hotspots. Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis successfully grouped the analyzed elements according to their anthropogenic or natural origin. The floods significantly increased the potential ecological risk of HEs associated with Pb/Zn industrial activities in the study area. The potential ecological risk of Cd after the floods was highest and should be of special concern.

AB  - Improved understanding of the relationships between heavy metals fractionation in agricultural soils and biological uptake could be obtained by analysing samples of biota in parallel with sequential extraction of their grown media. The overall goals of this study were to identify the characteristics of metal fractions and their bioavailability to maize and potato plants in the agricultural land of the Ibar River in southern Serbia and northern Kosovo. The concentrations of Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr and Cu in soil and vegetable samples were determined by the ICP-OES method. Pb/Zn production and industrial waste disposal significantly increased the pseudo-total concentrations of heavy metals in the soil together with their mobile and potentially bioavailable amounts. The Pb concentrations in the vegetable samples were generally above the EU maximum permitted concentrations in foodstuffs. However, the concentrations of Zn, Ni, Cr and Cu in the vegetables were below the critical levels. The results of the present study indicated that the intensive industrial production of Pb/Zn over the years and permanent pollution were responsible for the environmental contamination by heavy metals in the study area, particularly by Pb and Zn. The quantity of the mobile and potentially bioavailable heavy metals in the studied soils threatens the quality of Zea mays L. and Solanum tuberosum L. crops, with a real risk that these elements could enter the food chain.

AB  - This article reports the results of a study focused on the presence and bioavailability of arsenic in agricultural soil in the mining and industrial regions of northern Kosovo and southern Serbia, as well as uptake and bioaccumulation of arsenic in two commonly cultivated plant species (Zea mays L. and Solanum tuberosum L.). This area was one of the most important mining districts in Europe. The collected soil samples were subjected to a modified BCR three-step sequential extraction procedure in order to investigate the chemical partitioning of arsenic in the soils. The general distribution of arsenic in various fractions was: exchangeable  lt  reducible  lt  oxidizable fractions. Highest concentrations of total arsenic in soil were found close to industrial facilities and tailing ponds. In addition, fluvisols were significantly more enriched with arsenic than soils at a distance from the river flows. The edible parts of the plant specimen showed different As contents, suggesting that these plant species have different propensities for the uptake and bioaccumulation of arsenic from soil.
