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  - 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 (r(2)) 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  - This study aimed to investigate the impact of road and rail traffic on the soil through the analysisof the presence of heavy metals in soil samples collected next to a busy highway, local roads, andnext to an active railway line. Results showed that cars emitted higher levels of heavy metals thantrains. Soil samples near the highway had higher levels of Cu, Ni, and Hg. The values of thecalculated indices like geo-accumulation index, potential toxicity response index, ecological riskfactor, contamination factor, pollution load index, Nemerow’s pollution index, and degree ofcontamination confirm that the soil samples sampled near the highway are the most polluted andhighway have the greatest negative impact on the soil environment. These results suggest thatcontrolling car emissions through strict regulations and promoting public transportation couldeffectively reduce the heavy metal concentrations in soil, particularly from highway emissions.

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  - Background and Aims: In the global distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) forests play a key role due to the forest canopy effect. 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 analyzed by capillary gas chromatography with an electron capture detector (GC–ECD). Analysis of polychlorinated 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  - The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has a vision that the proper evaluation of protected areas (PAs) leads to a greater interest, more significant investment, and better conservation of natural resources. The evaluation of ecosystem services (ES) provided by protected areas (PAs) is of long-term importance to the local and national economies. Mapping the values of PAs, greater participation of decision-makers, and finally changes in public policies and the development of economic models that include natural resources in their development plans are significant but also long-term processes. IUCN has established the Protected Areas Benefits Assessment Tool+ (PA-BAT+), which provides initial information on how different stakeholders view the current state and potential values of PAs, which can help integrate natural resources and services provided by ecosystems in development plans. Such a tool makes it possible to identify the main factors relevant to the PAs and the country’s development policy, the flow of economic benefits, and the need for strategies that will enable the return of income to local people and PAs. Factors relevant to the importance of specific jobs in PAs - which is vital for the rural economy and necessary for decision-makers could also be identified with this tool. Identifying these factors can increase PA’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, such as no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being for people, quality education, clean water and sanitation, sustainable cities and communities, climate action, life below water and life on land.

AB  - In this study the ex-situ bioremediation of waste heavy residual oil fuel was examined.
Microbial consortium was isolated from the polluted site at Belgrade Heating Plants (Serbia) and was added to the projected biopile. The nutrients, aeration-periodic mixing was used during process. The biopile was inoculated and biostimulated for 150 days. As a result, the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) decreased by approximately 80 times. Also, the content of humic acids increased which indicated
the beginning of pedogenesis phase – soil formation (soilification). Level of humic acids during process at the end is higher about 40%. Also, bioremediation microorganisms from the inorganic matrix (river sand) generate clay minerals (content increases by about 50%) which are characteristic of the soil. At the same time, due to the microbial generation of organic acids, the concentration of carbonate
minerals from sand (calcite and dolomite) decreases. All these indicators confirm the efficiency of bioremediation and the simultaneous formation of man-made soil (MMS) as new resource for agriculture, landscaping and reforestation. The obtained soil was used for the stabilization of municipal waste as an overlay at this time. In conclusion: bioremediation that generates some useful geo-material
is a great example of a circular economy that is different from the usual ones (such as aluminum can and paper recycling).

AB  - Microplastics are microscopic pieces (<5 mm) of plastic materials that can be found at
every corner of our planet. Two ways of their release into the environment can be discerned: primary and secondary microplastics. While primary microplastics are released
directly into the environment as small particles, secondary microplastics are obtained by
breaking down from larger plastic items. Contamination of water and soil with microplastics transfers up the food chain, ends up in organisms and affects nature by changing
its biodiversity. EU legislative has restricted intentionally added microplastics in cosmetic products and issued stricter norms for products that usually release microplastics.
The use of certain single-use plastics is banned, use of lightweight plastics bags restricted, and the producers must cover up expenses for disposal of discarded plastic
packages. We are aware that a complete ban on plastics is not feasible. Nevertheless, it
is essential to notify of microplastics existence and its entire lifecycle. Labelling of
products that contain microplastics can be one of the ways to raise awareness. Informing
consumers about the composition of goods they are using, allows them to make more
conscious and responsible choices, both for themselves and the environment. There are
already some labels for microplastics, but they can be misleading since, if there are no
primary microplastics in the product, it does not mean that this product cannot affect
pollution as secondary microplastics. Therefore, we propose an extensive labelling system, which discerns between goods and packages, as well as between the primary and
secondary microplastics

AB  - Mikroplastika, koja zbog malih dimenzija i male gustine lako dospeva do svih delova
Zemlje, je zaokupila pažnju naučne zajednice u poslednjoj deceniji. Najveća pažnja, posvećena je
uticaju, kao načinima unošenjana u ljudski organizam. Jedini način za sprečavanje ulaska
mikroplastike u lanac ishrane je poštovanje principa cirkularne ekonomije. Postoji veliki broj
različitih čestica mikroplastike u odnosu na vrstu polimera iz kojih su dobijene. Kako bi se
analiziralo poreklo čestica mikroplastike, neophodno ih je prvo izolovati, a zatim identifikovati.
Neke od metoda za identifikaciju mikroplastike su Infracrvena spektroskopija sa Furijeovom
transformacijom (FTIR), Raman spektroskopija, pirolitička gasna hromatrografija – masena
spektroskopija, od kojih su FTIR i RAMAN nedestruktivne metode. U radu je ispitan granulat 9
najčešće korišćenih komercijalnih polimera u izvornom obliku. Urađena je FTIR analiza, a dobijeni
rezultati poznatih polimera upoređeni su sa bazom podataka uređaja. Utvrđen je stepen
podudaranja sa pronađenim polimerom. Dobijeni rezultati su validirani u odnosu na deklarisane
polimere. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata data su uputstva za dalju interpretaciju rezultata FTIR-a
prilikom identifikacije mikroplastike, kao i predlozi za buduća istraživanja.
AB  - Microplastics have captured the attention of the scientific community in the last decade. Due to small dimensions and low density, they can easily reach all parts of the Earth. Lately, the attention is shifted towards the health effects, and the pathways of entering into the human organism. The only way to prevent microplastics from entering the food chain is to respect the principles of circular economy. There are many different types of microplastic particles regarding the polymer from which they are obtained. In order to analyse the origin of microplastic particles, firstly it is necessary to isolate them, and then identify them. Some of the methods for identifying microplastics are Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, pyrolytic 
gas chromatography - mass spectroscopy, of which FTIR and RAMAN are non-destructive methods. This paper investigates beads of 9 most commonly used commercial polymers in their virgin form. FTIR analysis was performed, and the obtained results of known polymers were compared with the device database. The degree of matching with the found polymer was determined. The obtained results were validated in relation to the declared polymers. Based on the obtained results, instructions are given for further interpretation of FTIR results during the identification of microplastics, as well as suggestions for future research.

Zemlje, je zaokupila pažnju naučne zajednice u poslednjoj deceniji. Najveća pažnja, posvećena je
uticaju, kao načinima unošenjana u ljudski organizam. Jedini način za sprečavanje ulaska
mikroplastike u lanac ishrane je poštovanje principa cirkularne ekonomije. Postoji veliki broj
različitih čestica mikroplastike u odnosu na vrstu polimera iz kojih su dobijene. Kako bi se
analiziralo poreklo čestica mikroplastike, neophodno ih je prvo izolovati, a zatim identifikovati.
Neke od metoda za identifikaciju mikroplastike su Infracrvena spektroskopija sa Furijeovom
transformacijom (FTIR), Raman spektroskopija, pirolitička gasna hromatrografija – masena
spektroskopija, od kojih su FTIR i RAMAN nedestruktivne metode. U radu je ispitan granulat 9
najčešće korišćenih komercijalnih polimera u izvornom obliku. Urađena je FTIR analiza, a dobijeni
rezultati poznatih polimera upoređeni su sa bazom podataka uređaja. Utvrđen je stepen
podudaranja sa pronađenim polimerom. Dobijeni rezultati su validirani u odnosu na deklarisane
polimere. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata data su uputstva za dalju interpretaciju rezultata FTIR-a
prilikom identifikacije mikroplastike, kao i predlozi za buduća istraživanja., Microplastics have captured the attention of the scientific community in the last decade. Due to small dimensions and low density, they can easily reach all parts of the Earth. Lately, the attention is shifted towards the health effects, and the pathways of entering into the human organism. The only way to prevent microplastics from entering the food chain is to respect the principles of circular economy. There are many different types of microplastic particles regarding the polymer from which they are obtained. In order to analyse the origin of microplastic particles, firstly it is necessary to isolate them, and then identify them. Some of the methods for identifying microplastics are Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, pyrolytic 
gas chromatography - mass spectroscopy, of which FTIR and RAMAN are non-destructive methods. This paper investigates beads of 9 most commonly used commercial polymers in their virgin form. FTIR analysis was performed, and the obtained results of known polymers were compared with the device database. The degree of matching with the found polymer was determined. The obtained results were validated in relation to the declared polymers. Based on the obtained results, instructions are given for further interpretation of FTIR results during the identification of microplastics, as well as suggestions for future research.",

AB  - Microplastics are silent pollutants present in the almost every corner of the planet, even the most
isolated. European legislative has recognized the necessity for the monitoring of microparticles,
which involves the establishment of monitoring programmes, enabling the assessment of the status of
marine waters on a regular basis. Serbia continuously adopts and harmonizes laws and regulations
with the regulations of the European Union (EU). Unfortunately, microplastics is not yet the subject
of our Regulations. Main source of pollution of oceans with microplastics are rivers, therefore it is
necessary to estimate river microplastic emissions to the world's oceans. Microplastics find the way
to rivers, mostly from the waste waters from washing machines. Serbia is country with long network
of freshwaters, including the second largest river in Europe – Danube. River that flows through many
industrial cities, and carries great industrial and communal burden. By detail analysis of Serbian
legislative, it was found that no law or regulative considers microplastics as pollutant. Therefore, the
monitoring of microplastics is not obligatory. We consider that it is time that Serbia finally
recognizes this environmental problem, and includes it in the existing legal framework. We propose
that the microplastics in sewage waters are monitored on the regular basis, including tap and bottled
waters, to see if there is contamination with microplastics. This information will contribute to
establishment of monitoring programmes in Serbia and thus prevent further microplastic pollution.

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 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs 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 μg kg−1. Sum of PCBs exceeded the limit value of 20 μg kg−1 in all samples (it ranged from 48.8 to 196.8 μg 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 137 Cs were investigated by gamma spectrometry. Activity concentration of 40 K was measured in the range of 44–165 Bq kg −1 ; low levels of 137 Cs were detected in two samples (2.8 and 3.0 Bq kg −1 ), while concentrations of 226 Ra and 232 Th 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.

Activity concentration of 40 K was measured in the range of 44–165 Bq kg −1 ; low levels of 137 Cs were detected in two samples (2.8 and 3.0 Bq kg −1 ), while concentrations of 226 Ra and 232 Th 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  - Paper provided the systematic data on the distribution and risk assess¬ment status of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in sediment of the Tisza River (Serbia). The α-HCH, endrin ketone and methoxychlor are the most commonly found OCPs compounds. According to Serbian regulation concentrations of dieldrin, α-HCH, β-HCH and heptachlor were below limit values. In the Tisza River, sediment samples concentrations of aldrin, endrin, γ-HCH, endosulfans, heptachlor epoxide, p,p’-DDD, p,p’-DDE, p,p’-DDT were above limit values but below maximum concentration. Adverse effects are expected occasionally and slight potential health risks may exist to organisms based on the sediment quality guidelines. Upon exposure to organochlorine pesticides through non-dietary routes, results reported no potential cancer risk. The highest risk of cancer was through ingestion of contaminated sediments and minimal through inhalation routes.
AB  - У раду су дати системски подаци о статусу расподеле и процени ризика органохлорних пестицида у седименту реке Тисе (Србија). Најзаступље¬нији органохлорни пестициди у седименту су α-HCH, ендрин кетон и метокси¬хлор. Према националној регулативи концентрације диелдрина, α-HCH, β-HCH и хептахлора биле су испод граничних вредности. У узорцима седимента реке Тисе концентрације алдрина, ендрина, γ-HCH, ендосулфана, хептахлор епоксида, p’-DDD, p, p’-DDE, p, p’-DDT биле су изнад граничних вредности, али испод максимално дозвољених концентрација. Нежељени ефекти на организме очекују се повремено. Након излагања органохлорним пестицидима путем недијеталних путева потенцијални ризик од рака се не очекује. Највећи ризик од рака очекује се при гастроинтестиналном уносу седимената и минимално путем инхалације.
