AB  - The sediment was collected at forty locations in the Boka Kotorska Bay, in different seasons and
years (October 2005, June 2007, April 2013, December 2019), and analyzed using the EDXRF
method. The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential risk and compare heavy metal pollution
(As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe) of surface sediments in the period 2005-2019.
Environmental risk assessment was performed by comparative analysis of pollution indices, such as
pollution load index (PLI), potential ecological risk index (RI), mean ERM quotient (MERMQ),
toxic risk index (TRI), and contamination severity index (CSI). The average contribution of
individual metals in the total environmental risk showed the following order: Cd > Hg > As > Pb >
Ni > Cu > Cr > Zn. Accordingly, Cd represented a concern of the highest priority for the Bay
ecosystem due to its high toxicity. The results indicated that Hg concentrations showed a declining
trend in the period from 2005 to 2019. Referring to the results of all applied pollution indices, it was
established that the highest pollution was identified in 2019, particularly at the shipyard site S4,
while the lowest pollution was recorded in 2005 and 2013. The spatial distribution of pollution
indices for each investigated year revealed the most polluted sediments at sites S4 and S10 in Tivat
bay. These findings provide insight into the comparison of different indices in assessing the
sediment quality in the Boka Kotorska Bay over the last two decades.

AB  - Concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, and Fe measured at forty locations in the Boka Kotorska Bay were used to monitor the spatial and temporal quality of sediment and to assess surface sediment contamination over the last 15 years. This ecological geochemistry assessment was made using two classes of pollution indices: single indices concerning the investigated elements (contamination factor (Cf)) and integrated indices concerning the locations (pollution load index (PLI), potential ecological risk index (RI), mean effects range median quotient (MERMQ), toxic risk index (TRI), contamination severity index (CSI)). The distribution of all indices was geostatistically mapped and several hotspots were identified. Based on the indices applied in the risk assessment, the mean contribution of individual metal species to the total risk was determined and presented in the following order: Cd > Hg > As > Pb > Ni > Cu > Cr > Zn. This study revealed that Cd and Hg were at the top of the risk list among the examined elements. The temporal distribution of Hg has shown a decreasing trend during the period 2005-2019, while the presence of Cd in the Bay environment is of major concern. The results revealed that the most polluted part of the investigated area was Tivat bay within the Boka Kotorska Bay. Multivariate statistical analysis of pollution indices resulted in multicollinearity, which enabled the use of a reduced number of indices with an acceptable risk estimation.
