AB  - Polyurethane (PU) nanocomposite materials, offer very desirable advantages over pure PU materials,as the nanocomposites have enhanced thermal, surface, mechanical and biological properties. The main goal of this study was to develop a new kind of novel nanocomposites consisting of crosslinked PUs (based on poly(dimetylsiloxane) and hyperbranched polyester) and ferrite nanoparticles (based on copper and zinc) for possible application as coatings on biomedical devices and implants. A series of PU/ferrite nanocomposites was prepared by in situ polymerization in solution. Characterization of prepared nanocomposites nanocomposites was conducted by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Copper and zinc releases were investigated by microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometry (MP-AES). Characteristics of the prepared nanocomposites when in contact with a biological environment were examined through testing their biocompatibility, and adhesion of fibroblast cells. The presence of the nanoferrite nanoparticles influenced on surface and biological properties of PU nanocomposites. The prepared PU nanocomposites with noncytotoxic chemistry could be used as promising materials for vascular implants development.

AB  - In the present study, statistical correlation analysis and multivariate statistical techniques (PCA/FA) were employed to investigate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments, such as illite-montmorillonite (IM) and calcite (Ct), from two sedimentary environments of the Tertiary Krepoljin brown coal basin in Serbia. The coal and sediment layers were formed in fresh-water bogs during the Lower Miocene period. The total amount of extractable PAHs was determined by gas chromatography with a triple quad mass detector (GC-MS-MS), and it ranged from 449 to 10585 μg l−1 in all sediments. Eight of the total 16 PAHs, which ranged from 175.17 to 658.42 μg l−1, include benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene, and indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, which are regarded as potentially carcinogenic, indicating a higher possibility of adverse ecological effects. Medium molecular-weight (MMW) PAHs were found to be predominant in all sediments. PAH concentrations are affected by several factors, such as carbon content, H/C mole ratio, and (less significant) O/C mole ratio. The non-existence of a correlation between the N/C ratio and other parameters indicates unspecific changes which accompany the original organic matter. The lower-sulfur Ct sediment samples were found to have a higher PAH content than higher sulfur IM samples, leading to the conclusion that the PAH content of sediments may be related to the depositional environment.
AB  - Во оваа студија се применети статистичка корелациона анализа и мултиваријантни  статистички техники (PCA/FA) за да се истражат полицикличните ароматични јаглеводороди  (PAHs), како што се илит-монтморилонит (IM) и калцит (Ct) во седименти, од две седиментни  средини на терцијарниот креполински базен на лигнит во Србија. Јагленот и седиментните слоеви  се формирани во слатководни мочуришта за време на периодот на долен миоцен. Вкупното  количество на PAHs што можат да се екстрахираат беше одредено со гасна хроматографија со  масен детектор со трократен квадрупол (GC-MS-MS) и беа во опсегот од 449 до 10585 μg l−1 во  сите седименти. Осум од вкупно 16 PAHs рангирани од 175,17 до 658,42 μg l−1 содржат бензо[a]антрацен, хризен, бензо[b]флуорантен, бензо[k]флуорантен, бензо[a]пирен, дибензо[a,h] антрацен, бензо[g,h,i]перилен и индено[1,2,3-cd]пирен; Сите тие се сметаат за потенцијално  канцерогени, укажувајќи на поголема веројатност за настанување несакани еколошки ефекти.  Беше утврдено дека во сите седименти преовладуваат PAHs со средни молекулски тежини  (MMW). Концентрациите на PAHs зависат од повеќе фактори, како што се содржината на  јаглерод, молскиот однос на Н/С и (помалку значајно) молскиот однос на О/С. Непостоењето на  корелација меѓу односот на N/C и други параметри укажува на неспецифични промени што ја придружуваат оригиналната органска материја. Беше утврдено дека седиментните примероци на  калцит со помала содржина на сулфур имаат поголема содржина на PAHs од примероците на IM со повисока содржина на сулфур што наведува на заклучок дека содржината на PAHs во  седиментите може да е поврзана со опкружувањето при таложењето.

AB  - Introduction and study objectives: Lindane is a generic name for γ-hexachlorocyclohexane, one of the isomers from the group of Hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCH) [1]. Due to its neurotoxic activity, it had a very wide application, from agricultural to non-agricultural purposes. As a result of its lipophility, lindane can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier. The reason of his neurotoxicity is that it can interact with GABAA receptors and obstruct GABA neurotransmitter signaling in nervous system. People who have been exposed to lindane for a long time can experience serious health problems, such as: poor liver function, cardiac arrhythmias, and irregular menstruation. Due to its adverse health effect, lindane is classified as a “pregnancy category C” chemical [2]. It is also one of the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) that were listed under the Annex A (elimination) of the Stockholm Convention with a specific exemption for use as a human health pharmaceutical [3]. The aim of this paper was the assessment of the immobilized titanium dioxide photocalytic properties in lindane degradation. Methodology: Spray pyrolysis method was used for a synthesis of thin titanium oxide films on the foils of the stainless steel [4]. The lindane solution was incubated with TiO2 and exposed to UV/VIS light. Aliquots were taken from the reaction mixture after 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours. Lindane was extracted according to the EPA method 505 [5], and analyzed using an Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph (GC) connected to an electron capture detector (ECD). The GC was equipped with a Thermo Scientific™ TraceGOLD™ TG-5MT capillary column (60 m × 0.25 mm ID × 0.25 μm). The temperature program used for gas chromatography was: Initial heating temperature: 50 °C for 3 minutes, then heating at a rate of 30 °C/min to 210 °C for 20 minutes. Hydrogen with a flow rate of 60 mL/min was used as the carrier gas. Results and conclusions: Photoactivity of immobilized titanium dioxide in the degradation of lindane was measured as a percentage of lindane’s degradation compared to its initial concentration. The obtained results demonstrated that after two hours 45.32 % of lindane was degraded, while after twelve hours the percentage of degradation increased to 98.20 %. In this study we proved that the immobilized titanium dioxide can be used as a productive and fast photocatalyst for lindane photodegradation.

AB  - Concentrations of 10 potentially toxic trace elements were measured in soil samples collected from 18 sites in urban areas of Belgrade, the capital and the largest city in Serbia. Samples were analysed in order to assess the extent of soil contamination and to distinguish natural and anthropogenic input. The results demonstrated a general Zn, Pb, and Cd enrichment in surface samples, hence, after comparison with guidelines, it has been determined that there is a potential risk for human health. In the surface and buried samples, traces of cooper were detected. The highest concentrations of Cr (121 ± 12.3 mg/kg) and Ni (94.9 ± 12.6 mg/kg) were found at a sediment depth of 2 m and should be ascribed to geogenic sources. The results of HCA and PCA analysis supported a natural origin of Co, Cu, Mn, Cr, and Ni, while Cd, Zn, and Pb originated from anthropogenic inputs. Based on the pollution indices, Cd made the most dominant contribution, posing a high contamination risk in the studied area. Results of Nemerow pollution index (PIN) and potential ecological risk index (PER) demonstrated that pollution by heavy metals in sediments on several sites is moderately intense.

AB  - The only stable isomer of the higher fullerene C-76 of D-2 symmetry was isolated from carbon soot by the new and advanced extraction and chromatographic methods and processes. Characterization of the isolated C-76-D-2 was performed by the IR(KBr) and UV/VIS method in the absorption mode. All of the experimentally observed infrared and electronic absorption bands are in excellent agreement with the theoretical calculations for this fullerene. The molar absorptivity epsilon and the integrated molar absorptivity psi of the observed entire new series of various characteristic, both deconvoluted and convoluted IR absorption bands of the C-76-D-2 isomer, in different integration ranges were determined. In addition, the molar extinction coefficients of its UV/VIS absorption bands were determined. The obtained novel IR and UV/VIS spectroscopic parameters are significant for the quantitative assessment of C-76-D-2. All the presented data are important both for its qualitative and quantitative determination, either in natural resources on Earth and in space or in artificially synthesized materials, electronic and optical devices, optical limiters, sensors, polymers, solar cells, nanophotonic lenses, diagnostic and therapeutic agents, pharmaceutical substances, for targeted drug delivery, incorporation of metal atoms, in biomedical engineering, industry, applied optical science, batteries, catalysts and so forth.

AB  - The plants for district heating in Belgrade (capital of Serbia) have been using petroleum products as fuel for decades. The heating plant in New Belgrade is one of the largest heating plants in Balcan. Due to its location in New Belgrade - alluvial plains of the Sava River, this heating plant represents potential source of the oil pollution for the whole area. Our previous research confirmed presence of different oil pollutants in these sediments. The aim of our present research was to investigate the extent of vertical migration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in vertical profile of alluvial sediments of the Sava River at this locality.

AB  - Eight samples of powdered brown coal (Krepoljin coal basin, Miocene age) were successively extracted by two extractants at room temperature: bidistilled water, Me1, and 2 M MgCl2 solution, Me2. Large amounts of Ni and Zn are leached from the coal deposit by water. On the contrary, no significant amounts of Pb and Cu are washed under normal conditions. Also, the mobility of Zn and Ni especially depends, to a high extent, on ionic strength. It can be assumed that the humic acids co-extracted during water leaching, Me1, and being a highly competitive ligand for metal ions, will act as a disturbing agent in metal speciation procedure in coals. This assumption is supported by the obtained significant correlation between the Me1:Me2 ratio and the humic acid complex stability constants.

AB  - In this paper, the data for ten water quality variables collected during 2009 at 75 monitoring sites along the river network of Serbia are considered. The results are alarming because 48 % of the studied sites were contaminated by Ni, Mn, Pb, As, and nutrients, which are key factors impairing the water quality of the rivers in Serbia. Special attention should be paid to Zn and Cu, listed in the priority toxic pollutants of US EPA for aquatic life protection. The employed Q-model cluster analysis grouped the data into three major pollution zones (low, moderate, and high). Most sites classified as "low pollution zones" (LP) were in the main rivers, whereas those classified as "moderate and high pollution zones" (MP and HP, respectively) were in the large and small tributaries/hydro-system. Principal component analysis/factor analysis (PCA/FA) showed that the dissolved metals and nutrients in the Serbian rivers varied depending on the river, the heterogeneity of the anthropogenic activities in the basins (influenced primarily by industrial wastewater, agricultural activities, and urban runoff pollution), and natural environmental variability, such as geological characteristics. In LP dominated non-point source pollution, such as agricultural and urban runoff, whereas mixed source pollution dominated in the MP and HP zones. These results provide information to be used for developing better pollution control strategies for the river network of Serbia.

abstract = "In this paper, the data for ten water quality variables collected during 2009 at 75 monitoring sites along the river network of Serbia are considered. The results are alarming because 48 % of the studied sites were contaminated by Ni, Mn, Pb, As, and nutrients, which are key factors impairing the water quality of the rivers in Serbia. Special attention should be paid to Zn and Cu, listed in the priority toxic pollutants of US EPA for aquatic life protection. The employed Q-model cluster analysis grouped the data into three major pollution zones (low, moderate, and high). Most sites classified as "low pollution zones" (LP) were in the main rivers, whereas those classified as "moderate and high pollution zones" (MP and HP, respectively) were in the large and small tributaries/hydro-system. Principal component analysis/factor analysis (PCA/FA) showed that the dissolved metals and nutrients in the Serbian rivers varied depending on the river, the heterogeneity of the anthropogenic activities in the basins (influenced primarily by industrial wastewater, agricultural activities, and urban runoff pollution), and natural environmental variability, such as geological characteristics. In LP dominated non-point source pollution, such as agricultural and urban runoff, whereas mixed source pollution dominated in the MP and HP zones. These results provide information to be used for developing better pollution control strategies for the river network of Serbia.",

AB  - To effectively manage potential environmental and human health impacts of contaminated river sediments, it is important that information about the source (anthropogenic vs geogenic), variability and environmental risks associated with the contamination are well understood. The present study was carried out to assess the source and severity of contamination and to undertake a risk assessment for selected elements (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, V and Zn) in river sediments in Serbia. The estimate of the anthropogenic component of contamination was derived by determining the total element content and the background values for elements in sediments, and the severity of pollution was assessed by calculating a number of pollution indices including the contamination factor, the enrichment factor, the index of geoaccumulation, the ecological risk factor, the potential ecological risk index, the pollution load index, the combined pollution index, the modified degree of contamination and the toxic unit factor. This analysis indicates that river sediments in Serbia are primarily polluted with Zn, Cu and Cd. The most contaminated river systems are the Ibar, Pek, West Morava and Great Morava rivers. Mining activities were found to have a significant influence on sediment. Multivariate analyses suggested anthropogenic origins for Pb, Zn, Cd, As, Ni and Cu, whilst Fe, V, Mn, Co and Cr appear to have a mixed origin (both lithogenic and anthropogenic sources). A geochemical approach, with a calculation of pollution indices and statistical methods, is recognised as useful for the risk management of trace elements in sediments around the world.

AB  - In the present study, concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Co, Mn, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were determined at 35 river sediments in Serbia. The anthropogenic heavy metals input and quantification of the metal enrichment degree in sediments were estimated by calculating geo-accumulation indices (I-geo) and enrichment factors (EF). These pollution indices have been calculated using different background values (continental crust and local background values) and different element used for normalization (Al and Fe), followed by result comparison. The EF values calculated with continental crust as background (minor to extremely severe enrichment) were higher than when regional background values were used (minor to moderate enrichment). Significant influence of background values on the I-geo values is observed. Values of geo-accumulation index ( LT 2) revealed that studied river sediments are remaining unpolluted to moderately polluted with Co, Mn, Cr, and Ni. Significant pollution in the sediments was observed for Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn elements. The results of this study confirm the relevance of precise and accurate determining of local background concentrations while assessing sediment pollution. The values of EFs for studied elements were more influenced by the choice of background values than selection of element used for normalization. Our recommendation would be to use the local and regional background content in quantification of metal contamination in sediments, since these values differ and are site and region dependent.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to evaluate sediment heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Co, Mn, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn) related to pollution in freshwater sediments in Serbia. The heavy metal enrichment determination in studied sediments was conducted by using total metal content with strong acidic digestion (HCl + HNO3 + HF), a calculated enrichment factor (EF), and application of correlation analysis and the box plot method. For identification of appropriate elemental normalisers for enrichment factor calculations, Fe, Al, Ti and Si were used. The significant variation in heavy metal distribution among samples collected in this large region, encompassing all Serbian watersheds, suggests the selective contamination of sediments by heavy metals. Values for EF indicate nil to moderate enrichment for most studied elements, except for Cd, Cu, and Zn at some sampling points, where the enrichment was, in some cases, even severe. The high content of heavy metals and EFs in Serbia is related to the human activities around the sampling sites. The results indicate that all elements used for normalisation in this paper can also be used to estimate the anthropogenic influence, with an exception of Co, which should be considered as an element for normalisation in future studies.

The complexity of processes in a coal-forming sedimentary environment has been paid special attention to obtain the most possible reliable interpretation of these early diagenetic processes and, therefore, this investigation was performed by applying principal component analysis. The principal components, which are defining the coals and promoting individual early diagenetic processes, were the precursor materials and environmental factor, respectively, represented by higher plants, algae, and molds-expressed by the relative contents of the Cs-29-, Cs-28-, Cs-27-steranes, respectively, and the content of organic sulphur-Sorg, average content 166 +/- 101 mu mole/g. The main and highly interrelated effects of the higher plant material were as follows: (i) increase of the sulphur content of coal organic matter, (ii) promoter of sulphate reducing conditions, and (iii) establishment of the H/C- and N/C-ratios of organic matter.

AB  - The construction of reservoirs is one of the most important practices for the development and management of water resources. Many large reservoirs were built without a thorough or systematic evaluation of the long-term environmental, social, and economic interactions of different alternatives. Up to the last quarter of the twentieth century, those responsible for the construction of dams and creation of reservoirs — entrepreneurs, decision makers, engineers, investors — were praised for the acknowledged benefits of their works: Water supply, irrigated agriculture, flood control, improved navigation and firm hydroelectric generation (considered clean and unequivocally renewable energy). However, on the other hand, alarmist, especially environmental groups and organizations, have been exaggeratedly stating that infrastructure works, in general, and dams and reservoirs, in particular, cause serious and intolerable environmental impacts. Reservoir construction leads to a number of environmental issues, both during building and following completion. The physical, chemical character and water quality of rivers draining into lakes and reservoirs are governed in part by the velocity and the volume of river water. In these last decades of industrialization and rapid population increase, human intervention on the balance of nature has never been so various and so extensive as it is today. This chapter reviews a large range of potential impacts linked to the exploitation of reservoirs and dams, such as: (1) Climate-changing greenhouse gases emissions; (2) Changes in the Temperature Regime (3) Reservoir sedimentation; (4) Water pollution; (5) Destruction of Eco-systems, and (6) Planning and reservoir management.

AB  - Various chemometric techniques were used to analyze the quality of groundwater data sets. Seventeen water quality parameters: the cations Na, K, Ca, Mg, the anions Cl, SO4, NO3, HCO3 and nine trace elements Pb, As, Mn, Ni, Cu, Cd, Fe, Zn and Cr were measured at 66 different key sampling sites in ten representative areas (low land-Northern Autonomous Province of Serbia, Vojvodina and central Serbia) for the summer period of 2009. HCA grouped the sample sites into four clusters based on the similarities of the characteristics of the groundwater quality. DA showed two parameters, HCO3 and Zn, affording more than 90% correct assignments in the spatial analysis of four/three different regions in Serbia. Factor analysis was applied on the log-transformed data sets and allowed the identification of a reduced number of factors with hydrochemical meaning. The results showed severe pollution with Mn, As, NO3, Ni, Pb whereby anthropogenic origin of these contaminants was indicated. The pollution comes from both scattered point sources (industrial and urban effluent) and diffuse source agricultural activity. These samples may not be suitable for human consumption; the water quality belongs to class III/IV (contaminated). The Fe anomalies (7.1 mg/L) in the water from the Vetrnica site can be attributed to natural sources, such as the dissolution of rock masses and rock fragments. The serious groundwater contamination with As (25.7-137.8 mu g/L) in the area of Banat (Northern Autonomous Province of Serbia, Vojvodina) and a sample No. 9 at the Great Morava River requires urgent attention.

AB  - In this study, 28 lakes were selected from the freshwater resources of the network of man-made lakes throughout the Vojvodina Province and the central part of Serbia. Samples were analyzed for the physicochemicals indicators of the water and nutrients. Most of the values of the chemicals indicators and nutrients of the samples from the Vojvodina Province exceeded the Water Act and Regulations on the Monitoring of Water Quality introduced by the Government of the Republic of Serbia (MWQ) and/or the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water standards. These samples may not be suitable for human consumption. The sample from Lake MeAuvrje, where the NH4 (+) concentration was 0.28 mg/L, and the sample from Ovcar Banja, where the total phosphorus (TP) content was 0.15 mg/L with a high total nitrogen (TN) content of 1.21 mg/L, are particularly noteworthy. These high concentrations exceeded the proposed guidelines for safe drinking water; therefore, water from these lakes should be used with care as harmful health effects may occur. The majority of the Serbian lakes are characterized by phosphorus-limited photosynthesis.

AB  - We investigated early diagenetic processes of the extractable organic matter from the Miocene freshwater sequence, which consists of coal fragments in clays, sandstones and shales alternating with continuous brown coal layers. We examined eight coals, thirteen sediments and three non-coaly underground layers. The molecular assemblages of the identified aliphatic hydrocarbons in the Krepoljin Basin reflect the abundance of plant taxa as precursors or participants in the early diagenetic stage. The data provide insight into the conditions prevailing in the lakes and bogs during early diagenesis. The dominance of diterpanes indicates that the prevalent of the organic matter was of gymnosperous origin. The hopanoid contents are considered to reflect microbial activity. That the organic matter in the Miocene Krepoljin Coal Basin is immature was confirmed by the presence of biolipids such as beta beta-hopanes, C-27 17 beta (H)-trisnorhopane. Saturated and aromatized abietanes, pimaranes and phyllocladanes, the most abundant compounds in all samples, indicate a predominantly higher plant input related to the Coniferous group, but identification of the individual plant families was not possible. beta-Amyrin and other triterpenoid-derived triaromatic and triaromatic C-ring cleaved hydrocarbons with triterpenoid structures are thought to be characteristic for angiosperms. Unsaturated compounds, Delta(2)-triterpanes, early intermediaries in the diagenetic transformation of angiosperms also indicate a low degree of sediment maturity. Crown Copyright

AB  - The basic C-60 and C-70, and the higher fullerenes, mainly C-76 and C-84, were extracted by original procedures, with p-xylene and the mixture of xylenes from the samples of initial carbon soot, produced in electrical arc. The extracts were obtained in increased and high yields of 6% and 11.9%, respectively, due to application of the advanced procedures. The solubility of fullerenes in these solvents was compared. Chromatographic separation of the basic and the higher fullerenes from the obtained p-xylene extract was performed by continue elution, in one phase of the process, under atmospheric pressure, with original, defined gradient of solvents, from pure hexane to 75% toluene in hexane, on active Al2O3 column, by a new, improved method. Comparative spectroscopic characterization of the obtained purified fullerene fractions and the extracts is reported. The IR and UV/VIS techniques that have not been presented previously for the higher fullerenes were employed as a contribution to better introduction of their optical absorption properties.

AB  - The paper describes an investigation into the use of three power plant wastes: fly ash, flue gas desulphurization gypsum, and bottom ash for subbase layers in road construction. Two kinds of mixtures of these wastes with Portland cement and water were made: first with fly ash consisting of coarser particles ( LT 1.651 mm) and second with fly ash consisting of smaller particles ( LT 0.42 mm). The mass ratio of fly ash-Portland cement-flue gas desulphurization gypsum-bottom ash was the same (3:1:1:5) in both mixtures. For both mixtures, the compressive strength, the mineralogical composition, and the leaching characteristics were determined at different times, 7 and 28 days, after preparation. The obtained results showed that both mixtures could find a potential use for subbase layers in road construction.

AB  - The aim of this study was the evaluation of the trace element contamination level in sediments of the most important rivers in Serbia and their tributaries. The determination of the aqua regia soluble contents of 12 micro- and macro-elements (Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Ni, Zn, Be and V) in sediments was developed by the microwave digestion technique combined with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Correlation analysis and principal component analysis distinguishes factors of lithogenic and anthropogenic origins. The Fe, Mn, Be and V contents are controlled by a regional lithogenic high background factor, while Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, Zn and Cu are recognized as tracer of pollution. For Co, mixed sources from both lithogenic and anthropogenic inputs were evidenced. The investigated sediment of the major rivers and their tributaries in Serbia showed high concentrations of metals, especially of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn, which may cause serious environmental impacts. Rivers which flow into the Danube from its entrance into Serbia significantly influence the chemical load of the water and sediments. The experimental study was conducted using two BCR standard reference materials. The calculated accuracy and precision confirmed the good performance of the adopted procedures.
