abstract = "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.",
