AB  - Human milk is a biofluid with a unique composition among mammalian milks. Besides this milk’s major components, its bioactive compounds, like hormones, immune factors, and oligosaccharides, are unique and important for infant growth and development. The best form of nutrition for term and preterm infants is the mother’s own milk. However, in the absence of the mother’s own milk, donor milk should be made available. Milk banks support neonatal intensive care units by providing preterm infants with human milk that generally has reasonable nutritive value for this sensitive population. However, neither mother’s own milk nor donor milk has sufficient energy content for the growth of preterm babies, so adequate human milk supplementation is crucial for their progress. Due to the different characteristics of human breast milk, as well as ubiquitous environmental pollutants, such as microplastics, new methods are required for monitoring the quality and characteristics of human milk, which will lay a solid foundation for the further development and progress of human milk research.

AB  - This article aimed to identify sources and transport pathways of macro- and microelements in large urbanized rivers under significant anthropogenic pressure. To achieve the objective of this study, the geochemical characteristics of the sediments of the Sava and Danube Rivers and the soils flooded by the Kolubara River were determined. The high content of Mg indicates the dominant origin of the material from loess deposits. The significantly higher contents of Cr and Ni in sediment and soil samples from the Obrenovački Zabran (OZ) than in the samples from the Veliko Ratno Ostrvo (VRO) are the result of increased anthropogenic pressure. Sediments from the VRO show increased Sn and Sb contents. The increase in the content of chalcophile elements is the highest in the sediments from the OZ and ranges from 1.8 to 2.7 times, compared to their concentrations in the Earth’s crust. The soils from OZ and the sediments from the VRO show a decrease in the content of chalcophile elements compared to the sediments from the OZ so the increase is 1.2–1.5, and 0.9–2.3 times, respectively compared to the Earth’s crust. The obtained results revealed that the yield of sedimentary material that has higher concentrations of microelements decreases already at a distance of several km.

other essentials, perpetuate a rise in the amount of waste being 
generated daily by each household. In the Republic of Serbia, 
landfilling is the principal action for the municipal solid waste disposal. 
Landfills receive plenty of plastic waste generated from daily usage. 
Municipal solid waste in landfills may act as a reservior of 
microplastics (MPs) and related pollutants such as phthalate esters

AB  - Microplastic and nanoplastic particles have gained significant attention in recent years due
to their potential presence in various environmental matrices, including food. This bibliometric analysis aims to explore the scientific landscape surrounding the study of microplastic and nanoplastic
particles in food, shedding light on key research trends, prominent authors, and notable journals in
this field. To conduct this analysis, a comprehensive search was performed on scholarly databases,
including Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus, using relevant keywords such as “microplastic”,
“nanoplastic”, “food”, and related terms. The analysis focused on peer-reviewed articles published
between 2020 and 2023. The search found 313 articles on microplastic and nanoplastic particles in
food, indicating a growing interest in this research area. The number of publications showed an
upward trend, with the most productive year being 2020 (38% of papers), followed by 2023 and 2021
(23% each). In 2020, 16% of papers were published. Among the analyzed articles, 48% were original
research papers, 46% were reviews, and the remaining 6% included book chapters, perspectives,
and other publications. The analysis revealed that the most prolific authors in this field include
researchers such as Jansen, M.A.K., Abbasi, S., and Banerjee, A., who have significantly contributed
to the study of microplastics and nanoplastics in food. Additionally, several collaborations between
different research institutions were observed, emphasizing the multidisciplinary nature of this research area. Furthermore, the analysis identified key journals publishing research on microplastics
and nanoplastics in food, including Science of the Total Environment, the Journal of Hazardous Materials,
and Environmental Pollution. The increasing number of publications on microplastic and nanoplastic
particles in food indicates the growing awareness and concern regarding the potential risks associated
with these contaminants. This bibliometric analysis provides insights into the scientific landscape of
microplastic and nanoplastic particles in food. The analysis demonstrates the upward trajectory of
research in this field, identifies influential authors, and highlights the significant role of specific journals. Continued research and collaboration are essential to further our understanding of the impacts
of microplastics and nanoplastics on food safety and human health, facilitating the development of
effective mitigation strategies

AB  - Microplastics are tiny plastic particles and 
fragments that are less than 5 millimeters in size. 
These particles can be found in various 
environmental compartments. They are a growing 
concern due to their potential environmental 
impact and the challenges they pose for ecosystems 
and human health. Microplastics can vary in shape, 
composition, and size, with some being so small 
that they are not visible to the naked eye (nano 
dimensions). This diversity makes the detection 
and analysis of microplastics a complex scientific 
field. 
When conducting microplastics analysis, it is 
essential to choose the appropriate combination of 
instruments and techniques based on the sample 
type, and expected particle sizes. 
Additionally, methods for the analysis of 
microplastics are still being developed and have 
not been brought to the level of standards. Like all 
other methods of analysis, this procedure involves 
the extraction of particles from the matrix [1] and 
then an analysis that enables the confirmation of 
the identity of the polymer from the point of its 
particle composition. Particles that are mixed 
polymers also often appear. That is why it is most 
practical, and at the same time the most expensive, 
to have several different techniques to determine 
the type of particles. Everything gets complicated 
when applied to micro and nano particle sizes.
Today, different instrumental techniques are 
used for the detection of microplastics, depending 
on the dimensions of the particles to be identified.
FTIR Spectrometer works by measuring the 
absorption of infrared light by the sample, 
providing information about the types of polymers 
present. Raman Spectrometer is uses the scattering 
of laser light to provide information about the 
molecular structure and composition of 
microplastics. SEM with Energy-Dispersive X-ray 
Spectroscopy (EDS) capable to visualize the 
surface morphology of particles and when coupled 
with EDS, it can also provide information about the 
elemental composition of the particle. Micro Raman spectrometers are specialized for 
micrometar sizes particles. Pyrolysis instrument 
and GC-MS system that burns microplastics and 
this products are analyzed using GC-MS.
None of these techniques have been accepted as 
standard so far. And this will probably be decided 
for a long time, because the particle sizes are in a 
very wide range and not all of these techniques are 
sensitive and reliable enough for particles of micro 
and nano size. The choice of technique will also be 
influenced by the way the results are expressed

for a long time, because the particle sizes are in a 
very wide range and not all of these techniques are 
sensitive and reliable enough for particles of micro 
and nano size. The choice of technique will also be 
influenced by the way the results are expressed",

AB  - This study aimed to investigate the impact of road and rail traffic on the soil through the analysis
of the presence of heavy metals in soil samples collected next to a busy highway, local roads, and
next to an active railway line. Results showed that cars emitted higher levels of heavy metals than
trains. Soil samples near the highway had higher levels of Cu, Ni, and Hg. The values of the
calculated indices like geo-accumulation index, potential toxicity response index, ecological risk
factor, contamination factor, pollution load index, Nemerow’s pollution index, and degree of
contamination confirm that the soil samples sampled near the highway are the most polluted and
highway have the greatest negative impact on the soil environment. These results suggest that
controlling car emissions through strict regulations and promoting public transportation could
effectively reduce the heavy metal concentrations in soil, particularly from highway emissions.

AB  - The main objective of this study is to determine the possibility of predicting the impact
of land use and soil type on concentrations of heavy metals (HMs) and phthalates (PAEs) in soil
based on an artificial neural network model (ANN). Qualitative analysis of HMs was performed
with inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES) and Direct Mercury
Analyzer. Determination of PAEs was performed with gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a
single quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS). An ANN, based on the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–
Shanno (BFGS) iterative algorithm, for the prediction of HM and PAE concentrations, based on land use and soil type parameters, showed good prediction capabilities (the coefficient of determination (r2) values during the training cycle for HM concentration variables were 0.895, 0.927, 0.885, 0.813, 0.883, 0.917, 0.931, and 0.883, respectively, and for PAEs, the concentration variables were 0.950,0.974, 0.958, 0.974, and 0.943, respectively). The results of this study indicate that HM and PAE concentrations, based on land use and soil type, can be predicted using ANN.

AB  - Background and Aims In the global distribution of 
persistent organic pollutants (POPs) forests play a 
key role due to the forest canopy efect. In this study, 
mountain beech forests were selected to identify the 
level and distribution of selected POPs.
Methods Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and 
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were ana lyzed by capillary gas chromatography with an elec tron capture detector (GC–ECD). Analysis of poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was performed by gas 
chromatography with a mass spectrometry detector 
(GC–MS). The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 
(PAHs) were analyzed by liquid chromatography with 
a diode array detector (HPLC–DAD).
Results The total ∑20OCP concentrations in the 
soil from mountain beech forests at a depth of 0 – 
40 cm ranged from 24.46 µg kg−1 to 331.11 µg kg−1, 
and at a depth of 40 – 80 cm from 15.80 µg kg−1 to 
247.12 µg kg−1. The mass concentration for ∑6PCB 
ranges from 9.21 to 95.28 µg kg−1 in the surface soil 
layer and from 8.07 to 66.56 µg kg−1 in the soil sub layer. The total concentration of ∑7PBDE congeners 
measured in soil samples from mountain beech forests 
across Europe was from 1.38 to 29.68 µg kg−1 in the 
surface soil layer and from 1.01 to 53.31 µg kg−1 in 
the soil sublayer. The total concentration of ∑16PAH 
varied from 271.52 to 1154.52 µg kg−1 in the surface 
soil layer and from 318.95 to 1052.54 µg kg−1 in the 
soil sublayer.
Conclusion The results of this study can serve as 
an important basis for international, national, and 
regional measures of environmental protection of 
beech forests from POPs pollution

AB  - Microplastic (MP) pollution is one of the most pressing environmental problems of 
the 21st century. In the EU, between 75.000 and 300.000 tons of MP are released 
into the environment every year. MP are ubiquitous, being found in seas, lakes, rivers 
and estuaries, air, sediments, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants because of 
improper human disposal of plastics and inadequate waste management. Life cycle 
assessment (LCA) is frequently promoted as a tool to assess environmental impact. 
LCA is regulated in accordance with ISO 14040 and implies a process that examines 
environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts on the product or 
service life cycle. While LCA is a valuable environmental tool, its application to MP 
has not been sufficiently developed and investigated. The purpose of this paper is to 
critically review the LCA modeling of MP. Several leading LCA software were 
analyzed. Based on the conducted research, it was concluded that there are very few 
databases used by LCA software, which can be connected to MP. In addition, it was 
concluded that for these types of analysis, it is best to observe the life cycle of plastic 
waste, focusing on the concept according to which waste is considered a resource.

AB  - Purpose To anticipate the impact of illegal landfills, development of new models should become a part of environmental 
risk management strategies. One of such approaches includes applications of the artificial neural network (ANN). The main 
objective of this study was to elucidate the impact of illegal landfilling on the surrounding soil environment and human 
health, as well as to establish an artificial neural network (ANN) models for predicting the hazards of illegal landfilling as 
an effective tool in decision-making and environmental risk management.
Methods The identification of heavy metals source in soil was performed by principal component analysis (PCA). To assess 
the sensitivity of the soil ecosystem to heavy metal concentrations, Soil Quality standards and quantitative indices were used. 
The possible health effects were valued using the average daily doses (ADDs), hazard quotient (HQ), hazard index (HI), 
and carcinogenic risk (CR). ANN modeling was used for the prediction of heavy metal concentrations in the soil based on 
landfill size, municipality size, the number of residents, plant species, soil, and landform types.
Results The average values of the pollution indexes for Cd were in the moderately contaminated and very high contamina tion categories. The HQ values were lower than the safe level. Cr and Pb posed a significant CR for adults and children, and 
Ni for children. The ANN models have exhibited good generalization power and accurately predicted the output parameters 
with a high value of the coefficient of determination.
Conclusion Concerning heavy metal concentrations, illegal landfills near agricultural soil have a significant impact on the 
soil ecosystem and people’s health. The developed ANN models can be applied generally to anticipate the heavy metal 
concentrations in soil, according to the before mentioned input parameters, with high accuracy.

AB  - In the period from 2017 to 2022, 4,500 soil samples from the territory of Vojvodina were 
analyzed as part of the program for monitoring non-agricultural land. The results showed that 
the biggest problem was the presence of phthalate esters, which in certain locations were higher 
than the maximum allowed concentrations. Phthalate esters are plasticizers that are added to 
plastic products to improve their characteristics. A big problem appears in countries that do not 
have or do not implement waste management regulations and a large number of plastic products 
end up in landfills. Phthalates can be washed out from evreday plastic products as well as from 
plastic films, sewage irrigation, sludge, composting and mulching films used in agriculture and 
thus end up in soil and water bodies. The next risk is the possibility of the decomposition of 
plastic products under the influence of environmental conditions (photodegradation, 
thermooxidative degradation, hydrolytic degradation, and biodegradation by microorganisms). 
They can be broken down into smaller particles with dimensions smaller than 5 mm, which is by 
definition microplastics. Given that both polluting substances generally have the same origin it 
is necessary to quantify the correlation between the amount of microplastics and the 
concentration of phthalates. This results helped us in the exposure assessment process and in 
prediction the environmental concentrations of phthalates associated with microplastics in soil 
which was the goal of this research.

AB  - Widespread use of pesticides in intensive agriculture indicates the need for permanent monitoring of their residues in soil. For this purpose, a total of 22 evenly distributed sampling points of arable land were chosen in the sampling area in Serbia. Soils were divided into groups according to the previous crop (pepper, vegetables, maize, wheat and soybean). Soil properties and residues of 68 pesticides, of which 22 herbicides, 25 insecticides and 21 fungicides, were analysed in the collected soil samples. The obtained data confirm the heterogeneity of soil samples regarding their organic matter content (1.41-3.39%) and pH value (pH 4.27-8.08). The average number of active ingredients detected per type of previous crop was 1-2 herbicides, 14-16 insecticides, and 3-4 fungicides, while the residues of 3 herbicides, 20 insecticides and 9 fungicides were found in total. Insecticides with mainly organochlorine compounds represented the majority of the detected active ingredients. Although rapid degradability of sulfonylurea herbicides is a well-known fact, the residues of nicosulfuron, ranging from 0.15 to 1.99 mu g/kg, were found in three soil samples where maize was grown as a previous crop. Furthermore, triazoles prothioconazole (0.08 +/- 0.11 mu g/kg), tebuconazole (0.10 +/- 0.24 mu g/kg) and epoxyconazole (0.13 +/- 0.42 mu g/kg) were detected in 36%, 18% and 14% soil samples, respectively, while difenoconazole and flusilazole were detected in only one sample. Soil pH value mostly correlated with pesticides. The levels of pesticides detected in agricultural soils should be monitored further, especially in terms of environmental risks posed by their transfer to groundwater and surface waters.

AB  - The interactions of heavy metals and cement phases in the solidification/stabilization (S/S) pro-cess have been examined. The S/S method was applied to the waste sludge contaminated with heavy metals to determine the conditions under which the treated materials can be safely disposed of at land-fills for inert, non-hazardous, or hazardous waste. Sludge samples were mixed with soil and sand to simulate improper sludge disposal directly into the soil. S/S technology was selected using different cement fractions to treat these contaminated samples. The use of Portland cement or mixtures of dif-ferent types of cement for the treatment of sludge containing heavy metals is widespread. Samples of leached content were analyzed for the presence of the following metals: arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn). The study results lead to the conclusion that the sludge contaminated with heavy metals after the application of S/S with the addition of different cement fractions is transformed into non-hazardous, monolithic material.

AB  - Dimethachlor is an herbicide used for oilseed rape protection. Previous studies have demonstrated its high mobility in the soil, which could lead to water contamination. This research aimed to determine the occurrence of dimethachlor and its metabolites (dimethachlor ethanesulfonic acid ESA and dimethachlor oxalamic acid OA) in surface water using a recently developed analytical method. This article is one of the first to document dimethachlor and its metabolites' presence in surface water samples. The samples were collected from the Danube river and Tisza river. The quantitative determination of dimethachlor and its metabolites in the obtained extracts was done by high-performance liquid chromatography. Descriptive statistical methods, including correlation analysis, cluster analysis, and principal component analyses, were utilized to analyze method validation experimental results. In addition, the artificial neural network (ANN) model was applied as an optimization tool. The developed ANN model adequately predicted observed variables, suggesting the optimum results were obtained at a pH value 7, spike value 1, and injection volume equal to 0.5 mu L. The average concentrations in Danube River samples were 1.51 mu g/L for OA 0.01 mu g/L for ESA, and 0.63 mu g/L for DMC, while the average concentrations of chloroacetanilide herbicides detected in Tisza River samples were 1.43 mu g/L for OA, 0.08 mu g/L for ESA and 1.82 mu g/L for DMC.

It was bioremediated using the in situ procedure. The content of n-hexane extractable substance, total petroleum hydrocarbon, dry substance, and loss on ignition were analyzed.

AB  - After NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999, UNEP has identified Kragujevac as one of the four heavily polluted environmental "hot spots". Damaging of industrial and military targets caused the release of substantial amounts of hazardous chemical substances into the environment. This study was conducted in order to access the exposure of residents of Kragujevac city to persistent soil pollutants, twenty years after NATO air campaign. The paper reports the results of measuring radionuclides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, and Hg) in soil samples collected from two depths (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm) at 30 locations along the riverbank of the Lepenica River. The average specific activities of Ra-226, Th-232, K-40 and Cs-137 were comparable to average worldwide values; excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) from natural radionuclides ranged from 1.1.10(-4) to 3.3.10(-4). The measured concentrations of As, Co, Cr, Cu, and Ni exceeded the limit values in most of the samples. Non-carcinogenic risk (hazard quotient and hazard index) and carcinogenic risk from heavy metals were assessed. Total hazard index was 0.257 and 2.16 for adults and children, respectively. Sum of measured PAHs ranged from 110 to 1026 mu g kg(-1). Sum of PCBs exceeded the limit value of 20 mu g kg(-1) in all samples (it ranged from 48.8 to 196.8 mu g kg(-1)), but it was still below the remediation level. The differences between two layers with respect to all measured variables were not statistically significant.

AB  - Despite the existence of a legislation regarding food contaminants, food safety control in Serbia is a matter of great concern. This study investigates the radioactivity levels and heavy metal concentrations in fish and seafood commercially available in Serbian markets. Domestic fish species (caught in the Danube River) and fishery products imported from Europe, Asia and America were analyzed. The content of natural radionuclides and Cs-137 were investigated by gamma spectrometry. Activity concentration of K-40 was measured in the range of 44-165 Bq kg(-1); low levels of Cs-137 were detected in two samples (2.8 and 3.0 Bq kg(-1)), while concentrations of Ra-226 and Th-232 were below minimal detectable values. Concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Hg and Pb) were determined using ICP-OES method. Cd concentration ranged from 0.01 to 0.81 mg kg(-1) in sea fish and from 0.01 to 0.03 mg kg(-1) in freshwater fish. Hg concentrations were in the range of 0.01-1.47 mg kg(-1); the highest value was measured in the predator fish - shark. The highest level of Pb (6.56 mg kg(-1)) was detected in a blue sea fish (Atlantic mackerel). The health risks associated with the intake of heavy metals and radionuclides via fish consumption were evaluated. The results indicate that fish and seafood consumption do not pose a significant health concern in the case of the usual consumption rate which is typical for the population of Serbia. However, a highly frequent consumption of fishery products can have adverse health effects, especially due to Hg and Pb contamination.

AB  - Background: Dairy cows are exposed to numerous environmental hazards, such as heavy metals. Milk and dairy products could be harmful to humans when maximum tolerable amounts of heavy metals are exceeded. Analysis of heavy metals in milk is important because milk is a source of essential nutrients and is an indicator of environmental contamination. Some heavy metals are essential to maintain proper metabolic activity in living organisms, but at exceeded levels they could be toxic to living organisms. The main objective of the present study was to determine the residue levels of ten heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in cow milk in Serbia. Materials, Methods & Results: The experiment was conducted at three farms at Vojvodina district, Serbia. Cows from all three farms were on pasture during spring and summer time. Randomly 50 cows from each farm were taken for this experiment. The cows have similar body condition score they were in their third or fourth lactation and gave approximately the same amount of milk in the previous lactation. Total 150 milk samples were collected from cows during the morning milking, in the period between April to May in 2016. All 150 milk samples were transported to laboratory as soon as possible and analyzed for the heavy metals. Heavy metals were analyzed by Inductance coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry. Data are presented as mean values +/- sd. Statistical analysis was done by one way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). The level of significance was set at P  LT  0.05. The highest average concentration in cow milk was determined for Iron (283.9 mg/kg), then for Zinc (60.21 mg/kg) and Copper (4.404 mg/kg), while the lowest concentration was for Cobalt and Lead (less than 0.005 mg/kg). Discussion: Bioaccumulation is one of the biggest problems with heavy metals. Heavy metals residues in milk can be very dangerous for the calves and humans as well. The existence of trace elements and heavy metals in dairy products and milk has been recorded in various countries since it is considered as one of the most dangerous aspects of food contamination. The presence of heavy metals in cow's milk may be attributed to contamination due to exposure of lactating cow to environmental pollution or consumption of contaminated feeding stuffs and water. Heavy metals after intake in cow organism distributed to all organs and glands such as udder. By that, secretory udder tissue gets intoxicated with heavy metals and after that they can be found in milk. After analyses the results in this experiment the highest average concentration of Fe in cow milk it might be because cows were fed with hay from pasture rich in iron between April to May. Some researchers found the amounts of Cu in the milk of individual varied from 0.2 to 0.8 mg/kg. Contrary to this finding, in current study the average value of Cu in cow milk was 4.404 mg/kg. It is found that the highest concentration of Zn in cow milk is 10.75 mg/kg, lower compare to result in current study (60.21 mg/kg). Arsenic (As) concentration was 0.058 mg/kg, cadmium (Cd) was 0.01 mg/kg, cobalt (Co) was 0.002 mg/kg, chrome (Cr) was 0.018 mg/kg, manganese (Mn) was 0.493 mg/kg, nickel (Ni) was 0.119 mg/kg and lead (Pb) was 0.08 mg/kg what is just above recommended values by International Dairy Federation. The results showed that most of the milk samples from the different farm contained all the studied metals with concentration higher than those recommended by International Dairy Federation and Codex for cow milk.

AB  - Surface soil (0-10 cm) samples from 60 sampling sites along the length of railway tracks on the territory of Srem (the western part of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, itself part of Serbia) were collected and analyzed for seven polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and ten heavy metals in order to see how the distance from the railroad affects the concentration of some organic and inorganic pollutants in the soil. Samples were taken at a distance of 0.03-4.19 km from the railway. For the soil extraction was used USEPA 3540S method. The extracts were purified on a silica-gel column (USEPA 3630C). The analysis of the extracts was performed by gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. PCBs were not detected only at two locations. Mean total concentration of PCBs for all other sampling locations was 0.0043 ppm dry weight (dw) with a range of 0.0005-0.0227 ppm dw. According to values of Nemerow pollution index Cu, Co, Zn and Ni were the most ubiquitous heavy metals in the area near railroad. Based on these results, it can be said that railway transport is a potential source of PCBs and some heavy metals.

AB  - Zeolites are aluminosilicate minerals that have extremely high adsorption capacity and high cation-exchange ability. Due to this, natural zeolites have been widely used as adsorbents in water purification processes in the past decades. The aim of this study was to investigate the adsorption capacity of zeolite and possibility for removing pesticides from water using zeolite. Response surface methodology Box-Behnken design with seventeen runs, three independent variables (pH, particle size and amount of zeolite) and five replicates at a center point was used to achieve the optimum adsorption conditions - pH 10, zeolite particle size of 1-2 mm and zeolite content of 15 g. Purification with zeolite is environmental friendly, relatively cheap and is a readily available technique. So these investigations can be applied in the area of water purification wherever pesticides appear as pollutants of ground and surface waters.

AB  - U Srbiji trenutno postoji vrlo mali broj naučnih podataka o nivou novih zagađujućih supstanci u zemljištu. Pogotovo nema dostupnih informacija o koncentracijama polibromovanih difenil etera (PBDE) u zemljištu. Ni jedna laboratorija u Srbiji se ne bavi analizom pomenutih polutanata. Zbog toga je u ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji optimizovana metoda određivanja PBDE-a u zemljištu pomoću hemometrijski razvijenog modela za optimizaciju uslova ekstrakcije i instrumentalne analize PBDE-a. Definisano je najoptimalnije vreme trajanje ekstrakcije, najbolji odnos rastvarača koji se koriste za ekstrakciju i instrumentalni uslovi koji daju najbolji prinos ekstrakcije. Optimizovani uslovi su primenjeni na uzorcima zemljišta uzeti sa površinskog sloja zemljišta sa 24 lokaliteta (u blizini deponija, bivše ranžirne stanice, deponija sekundarnih sirovina i auto otpada) iz pet regiona na teritoriji Vojvodine. Prinos BDE kongenera je bio između 80% i 115%. Koncentracija ukupnih PBDE-a se kretala od 4,4 do 729 μg·kg-1 apsolutno suvog zemljišta. Najveći udeo u ukupnom zbiru su imali BDE 99, BDE 47 i BDE 209. Kako bi dobili više informacija o zagađenju zemljišta u blizini deponija bile su analizirane i koncentracije teških metala Cd, Co, Cr, Pb, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni i Zn. Sadržaj Co, Cu, Ni i Zn u gotovo svim uzorcima je bio preko propisanih graničnih vrednosti. Urađena je i analiza hemijskih i mehaničkih karakteristika zemljišta. Sa ciljem da se vidi da li postoji nekakva povezanost između koncentracija teških metala, mehaničkih i hemijskih karakteristika zemljišta i sadržaj PBDE-a u zemljištu i na taj način da se pretpostavi mogući zajednički antropogeni izvor, izračunati su koeficijenti korelacije. Koristeći samoorganizovane mape urađeno je grupisanje uzoraka na osnovu koncentracija BDE kongenera, mehaničkog sastava zemljišta i koncentracija teških metala u analiziranim uzorcima zemljišta. Kao potencijalno kontaminirane lokacije PCB-ovima su izabrane lokacije gde su prisutni PCB transformatori, uzorkovano je zemljište i analizirano je prisustvo sedam PCB kongenera. Nađene vrednosti sadržaja PCB-a su bili u opsegu od 0,308 do 0,872 mg·kg-1 a.s.z. što je iznad propisanih graničnih vrednosti od 0,02 mg·kg-1. Originalan naučni doprinos ove disertacije ogleda se u definisanju optimalnih uslova ekstrakcije i optimizacije celokupne metode određivanja PBDE-a u zemljištu. Rezultati ovog istraživanja su prvi prezentovani rezultati o prisustvu PBDE-a u zemljištu u Vojvodini, kao i na celoj teritoriji Srbije, i predstavljaju osnovu za dalja istrživanja u tom pravcu.
