AB  - The occurrence and distribution of yttrium and rare earth elements (REYs), along with major elements and heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in coal fly ash (CFA) from five coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), were analyzed, and the REY-associated ecological and health risks were assessed. The individual REYs in CFA were abundant in the following order: Ce > La > Nd > Y > Pr > Gd > Sm > Dy > Er > Yb > Eu > Ho > Tb > Tm > Lu. The total REY content ranged from 135 to 362 mg/kg, averaging 302 mg/kg. The mean light-to-heavy REY ratio was 4.1, indicating prevalent light REY enrichment in CFA. Significantly positive correlations between the REYs suggested that they coexist and share similar origins in CFA. REYs were estimated to pose low to moderate ecological risks, with risk index (RI) values ranging from 66 to 245. The hazard index (HI) and target cancer risk (TCR) of REYs from CFA, estimated to be higher for children (HIc = 0.15, TCRc = 8.4 × 10−16) than for adults (HIa = 0.017, TCRa = 3.6 × 10−16), were well below the safety limits (HI = 1, TCR = 1.0 × 10−6). However, the danger to human health posed by HMs in the same CFA samples (HIc = 5.74, TCRc = 2.6 × 10−4, TCRa = 1.1 × 10−4) exceeded the safe thresholds (excl. HIa = 0.63). The mean RI and HI attributed to REYs in CFA were 14% and 2.6%, respectively, of the total risks that include HMs.

AB  - Renewable energy resources are of great interest for prevention and mitigation of the climate change effects. Here is presented a study on the utilization of green energy fuels derived from available resources as prevent for diminishing potential environmental pollution levels influencing this change. The atmospheric particulate matter composition, also recognized as hazardous and most responsible for human health and premature deaths would be adequate parameter to be followed in these terms. A biomass burning contribution to the aerosol fraction with particles less than 2.5 μmin diameter (PM2.5) was assessed in the Belgrade residential area. Daily PM2.5 aerosol samples collected on membrane Teflon filters over four seasons were analyzed by PIXE (proton induced X-ray emission) nuclear analytical technique and multi-wavelength (405-1050 nm) light attenuation measurements. Results have indicated presence of several biomass and biofuel related tracer elements like Ni, V, Cu, Zn, Ti, Mn, and Cr and significant contents of Pb and Cd, proving that it may be used for detection of their presence in the mix of energy related emissions. Black carbon concentration was also a good indicator candidate as its values have shown strong seasonality, although for more sophisticated recognition of specific species, additional analysis would be necessary. Receptor modeling using positive matrix factorization (EPA PMF 5.0) revealed about 40% of PM2.5 mass belonging to the biomass-related emission sources coming from the energy production sector. Besides the black carbon measured at wavelengths up to 600nm, K was recognized as a main tracer for biomass sources like wood and biofuels. A V/Ni ratio, characteristic for heavy oil burning, was noticed in all seasons indicating contribution of industrial emission sources during the summer in addition to its appearance in the heating season. Nevertheless, recently encouraged use of the individual biofuels such as biochar, bio-oil, methanol, and crude glycerol, could not be distinguished by applied methodology from the mixed ones. Use of HP Ge spectrometry for 210Pb/Pb ratio and K concentrations determination should be considered in specific cases only, due to differences in sampling periods and sample preparation procedures for radionuclides and PM2.5 elemental analysis. Obtained results support the use of nuclear analytical techniques for analysis as well as development of new tools and techniques for simple and efficient control of biofuel combustion products in emission exhausts, having in mind the intention of their more frequent application in everyday life in urban areas.

AB  - The health effects attributed to exposure to ambient PM2.5 concentrationsabove 10 μg/m3by using the AirQ+ modeling software were assessed. Thehourly concentrations of PM2.5 were collected from 13 air pollutionmonitoring stations in the Belgrade district during Jun and July 2021.,which were further used as input data for the AirQ+software. The averageconcentration of PM2.5 for two-month monitoring from all sampling sites inthe city was 14.8 μg/m3, the maximum daily concentration was 55.7 μg/m3,while the maximum concentration per hour was 365 μg/m3. The spatialdistribution of concentrations was mapped using geostatistical interpolation,revealing hotspots within the city centre and industrial area of the district.The burden of disease, such as stroke, ischemic heart disease (IHD), chronicobstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer (LC), due to theambient PM2.5 pollution was evaluated according to the WHO methodologyfor health risk assessment of air pollution. The model used for thisassessment is based on the attributable proportion defined as the section ofthe health effect related to exposure to air pollution in an at-risk population.The estimated attributable proportion was 19.4% for stroke, 27.2% for IHD,15.3% for COPD and 9.0% for LC. The estimated number of attributablecases per 100,000 population at risk, due to PM2.5 air pollution, for stroke,IHD, COPD, and LC, was 28, 34, 15, and 8, respectively.

AB  - In recent years, due to economic and political instability around the world, there has been growing concern over the possible infiltration of counterfeit, fraudulent and suspect items (CFSIs) into the nuclear supply chain. CFSIs do not undergo the same rigorous quality assurance procedures as legitimate items, and deviate from prescribed specifications. Within the nuclear supply chain, CFSIs can diminish the integrity of equipment, systems, structures, components or devices that contribute to nuclear safety and/or nuclear security. The inadvertent introduction or malicious insertion of CFSIs within the nuclear supply chain could lead to the occurrence of a nuclear security event. Prevention and risk assessment are essential in containing the security consequences of illicit trade, and technology could play a central role in monitoring – with the aim of reducing the resources available to politically motivated and terrorist actors. Therefore, it is necessary to develop measures to mitigate the nuclear security implications of CFSIs that have infiltrated the nuclear supply chain, or prevent their introduction altogether. Quality Assurance requirements for each supplier category and the quality classification of the procured item or service should be part of CFSI Program as an integral part of the Integrated Management System and Quality Assurance Program. It is of great importance to make comprehensive review of existing international legislations and regulations which refers to CSFIs and to look into procurement process in the light of nuclear security implications of CFSIs.

AB  - Public parks and open playgrounds are the most important compartments of the urban environment due to their role in sustaining the well-being of city residents, primarily through relaxation and recreation. To determine the occurrence, levels, and sources of 16 US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and consequent human health risk, soil samples from 18 parks and playgrounds from Kruševac, a mid-sized city in Serbia, were collected and analyzed. The concentrations of PAHs were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The total concentration of selected PAHs ranged from 14 to 121 µg kg−1, with a mean of 55 µg kg−1. The measured concentrations of individual PAHs were well below limits set by national legislation and were much lower than reported values for cities worldwide. Principal component analyses and positive matrix factorization were employed to identify possible PAH sources. Traffic emissions and coal, firewood, and natural gas combustion were identified as the main sources of PAHs in the analyzed soil. The most polluted soil samples were found in parks and playgrounds near busy roads and in the most densely populated city districts. A risk assessment procedure established by the US EPA showed no significant risk, either carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic, associated with exposure to PAHs in the soil for adults and children who use parks and open playgrounds for recreational purposes.

AB  - Public parks and open playgrounds are the most important compartments of the urban environment due to their role in sustaining the well-being of city residents, primarily through relaxation and recreation. To determine the occurrence, levels, and sources of 16 US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and consequent human health risk, soil samples from 18 parks and playgrounds from Kruševac, a mid-sized city in Serbia, were collected and analyzed. The concentrations of PAHs were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The total concentration of selected PAHs ranged from 14 to 121 µg kg−1, with a mean of 55 µg kg−1. The measured concentrations of individual PAHs were well below limits set by national legislation and were much lower than reported values for cities worldwide. Principal component analyses and positive matrix factorization were employed to identify possible PAH sources. Trafc emissions and coal, frewood, and natural gas combustion were identifed as the main sources of PAHs in the analyzed soil. The most polluted soil samples were found in parks and playgrounds near busy roads and in the most densely populated city districts. A risk assessment procedure established by the US EPA showed no signifcant risk, either carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic, associated with exposure to PAHs in the soil for adults and children who use parks and open playgrounds for recreational purposes.

AB  - Fly ash originating from coal combustion in thermal power plants is generated in landfills in large amounts, and due to the high content of heavy metals and metalloids whose mobility is hazardous to the environment and human health, it causes soil and groundwater pollution. Scientific research in the field of "alternative mining" is significant, where heavy metals and rare earth elements would be recovered from waste materials such as fly ash using various extraction methods. The aim of this paper is to determine the optimal extraction process of the examined elements: V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb from fly ash. Two extraction agents were used: sulfuric and acetic acid. In the first set of experiments, the fly ash was immersed immediately in acids, and in the second set, this process was preceded by the addition of sodium hydroxide, which effectively destroys the alumina-silicate matrix. Several different parameters were also monitored: ratio of fly ash and acid/acid mixture (1:5, 1:30), temperature (25 and 45°C), duration of the process (4 and 24 h), and stirring. For the extraction of Pb - H2SO4, temperature and time were shown as significant parameters, while for Cd, only H2SO4 was an effective extractant. Concerning the As metalloid, the acetic acid, solid/liquid ratio, and time were significant, while for Zn, Cu, Co, Mn, and V metals only the solid/liquid ratio was significant. Determination of the content of heavy metals and metalloids was done by the ICP-MS.

AB  - Sagorevanjem uglja u termoelektranama nastaju velike količine letećeg pepela koji u svom sastavu sadrži teške metale i metaloide čije izluživanje može naruštiti stanje životne sredine u ve- likoj meri. Cilj ovog rada jeste optimizacija procesa stabilizacije matrice letećeg pepela upotrebom oksida, hidroksida i karbonata kalcijuma, kao i ispitivanje stepena desorpcije (izluživanje) ele- menata u desorpcionim rastvorima. Stabilizacijom letećeg pepela omogućila bi se njegova dalja upotrebe u građevinskoj industriji ili u svrhu adsorbenta. Kako bi se dobili optimalni uslovi korišćeno je nekoliko različitih stabilizatora (CaO, Ca(OH)2 i CaCO3) u različitim koncentracijama (5% i 7%). Variraran je i sastav desorpcionog rastvora (dejonizovana voda i 4% i 8% sirćetna kiselina) kao i odnos letećeg pepela i desoprcionog rastvora (1:10 i 1:30). Koncentracija jona teških metala i metaloida (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb) određivana je metodom masene spektrometrije sa indukovano spregnutom plazmom (ICP- MS).

AB  - Combustion of coal in thermal power plants produces large amounts of fly ash, which contains heavy metals and metalloids, and their leaching can greatly damage the environment. The aim of this paper is to optimize the process of stabilization of the fly ash matrix using calcium oxide, hydroxide and carbonate, as well as to examine the degree of desorption (leaching) of elements in desorption solutions. Stabilization of fly ash would enable its further use in the construction industry or as an adsorbent. In order to obtain optimal conditions, several different stabilizers (CaO, Ca(OH)2 and CaCO3) were used in different concentrations (5% and 7%). The composition of the desorption solution (deionized water and 4% and 8% acetic acid) is also variable, as is the ratio of fly ash to the desorption solution (1:10 and 1:30). The concentration of heavy metal ions and metalloids (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb) was determined by the method of Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Multivariate statistical analysis (correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA)) was performed for data processing. MINITAB statistical software was used.

AB  - The Republic of Serbia predominantly produces electricity in thermal power plants (TPP) Nikola Tesla (A i B), Kolubara and Kostolac. They are supplied from Kolubara basin mines (Nikola Tesla (A i B), Kolubara) which produces three quarters of Serbian lignite (about 70%), with the mean annual production about 30 million tons of coal and from Kostolac basin (TE Kostolac) which produces 30% of lignite in Serbia. Coal combustion residuals include bottom ash, fly ash and slag. Environmental pollution by coal ash and fly ash has been intensively studied taking into account high content of potentially hazardous elements such as As, Pb, Cd and Cr. Tracking lead sources in environmental studies has usually been performed by stable lead isotopes. The pres- ence, pathways and environmental impact of coal ash and fly ash can be identified using Pb isotopic compositions. In this study, isotopic compositions for 12 coal samples from Kolubara and Kostolac major coal mines and 12 fly ash samples from thermal power plants Kolubara (A and B), Kostolac (A and B), Nikola Tesla TENT (A3, A2, and B1) were determined. Samples were digested in mineral acids mixture. Lead conc- entration and stable Pb isotopes were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results obtained might be useful in monitoring of Pb poll- ution from the examined sources, as well as in emission control.

In this study, isotopic compositions for 12 coal samples from Kolubara and Kostolac major coal mines and 12 fly ash samples from thermal power plants Kolubara (A and B), Kostolac (A and B), Nikola Tesla TENT (A3, A2, and B1) were determined. Samples were digested in mineral acids mixture. Lead conc- entration and stable Pb isotopes were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results obtained might be useful in monitoring of Pb poll- ution from the examined sources, as well as in emission control.",

AB  - The Republic of Serbia generates the majority of its electricity at the thermal power plants (TE) Nikola Tesla, Kolubara, and Kostolac. Coal is extracted from the Kolubara basin, which produces approximately 70% of lignite (an average of 30 million tons per year), and the Kostolac basin, which produces 30% of lignite. Ash, fly ash, and slag are examples of coal combustion residues. Because of the high content of potentially hazardous elements such as As, Pb, Cd, and Cr, environmental pollution with ash and fly ash has been extensively researched. Stable isotopes of lead can be used to trace lead sources. It is possible to monitor the presence, transformation pathways, and environmental impact of Pb by determining its isotopic composition in coal and fly ash. For the first time, the isotopic composition of selected coal samples from the Kolubara and Kostolac mines, as well as fly ash from the Kolubara (A and B), Kostolac (A and B), and Nikola Tesla (TENT A3, A2, B2) thermal power plants, was investigated in this study. The obtained data for 206Pb/207Pb in coal serve as the foundation for ranking domestic coals, whereas the isotopic ratios 206Pb/207Pb and 208Pb/207Pb  in fly ash can be used to monitor and control lead pollution from investigated sources.

AB  - This study investigated the use of different natural raw soil materials as low-cost adsorbents for the removal to remove As(V) and Pb(II) from aqueous systems. It deals with the effect of different soil textures, sandy loam, loam, and loamy sand, on adsorption efficiency. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to carry out the comprehensive characterization of materials, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and liquid nitrogen porosimetry or the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). Studies were performed in a batch system; the initial concentration of examined heavy metals was 100 μg·L–1, pH varied in the range of 4–6, and the adsorbent dosage was 5–20 mg/10 mL. Sandy loam was the most efficient adsor-bent for As(V) separation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 47.5%, while the loam was the most efficient for Pb(II) separation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 94.2%. The removal efficiency was affected mainly by the adsorbent characteristics. Performed kinetic studies revealed two steps of adsorption for both investigated ions. Obtained results indicate that natural sorbents used in this work present environmentally sustainable material for As(V) and Pb(II) removal, on the one hand, and the basis for further studies on the simultaneous removal of heavy metals from water and their reduced mobility in soil, on the other. © 2022 Desalination Publications.

AB  - As an inert radioactive gas, 222Rn could be easily transported to the atmosphere via emanation, migration, or exhalation. Research measurements pointed out that 222Rn activity concentration changes during the winter and summer months, as well as during wet and dry season periods. Changes in radon concentration can affect the atmospheric electric field. At the boundary layer near the ground, short-lived daughters of 222Rn can be used as natural tracers in the atmosphere. In this work, factors controlling 222Rn pathways in the environment and its levels in soil gas and outdoor air are summarized. 222Rn has a short half-life of 3.82 days, but the dose rate due to radon and its radioactive progeny could be significant to the living beings. Epidemiological studies on humans pointed out that up to 14% of lung cancers are induced by exposure to low and moderate concentrations of radon. Animals that breed in ground holes have been exposed to the higher doses due to radiation present in soil air. During the years, different dose-effect models are developed for risk assessment on human and non-human biota. In this work are reviewed research results of 222Rn exposure of human and non-human biota. © 2020, ISB.

AB  - A significant proportion of homes and apartments in Serbia are still reliant on central heating systems during winter months, with about fifty heating plants in operation. Common fuels used in these plants primarily include fossil fuels such as coal, fuel oil, and natural gas. Some of these fuels have a high sulfur content, leading to an increased concentration of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter in the atmosphere (Todorović et al, 2020; Todorović et al, 2021). This study compares and evaluates the environmental impact of the two heating boilers at the Valjevo city (Serbia) heating plant. The AERMOD air dispersion model was used for estimating the concentrations of the various pollutants (Kakosimos et al, 2011; Mokhtar et al, 2014; Shaikh et al, 2020). Onsite emission data were gathered separately for the two heating boilers at the facility fuelled by natural gas and fuel oil, respectively. A combination of topographical and historical meteorological data were used to set up a receptor grid that was exposed to the gas emission in a radius of 10 km. The environmental impact from the fuel oil boiler was shown to be significantly higher than that caused by the natural gas-fuelled boiler. The resulting distribution of pollutant gases and particles showed that the concentration gradient is less inclined towards the city centre and instead spreads eastwards into the surrounding villages. The data were used to evaluate carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks. It was found that the health risk was acceptable for different averaging periods. However, further study is still required in order to properly assess the cumulative health risk generated by other surrounding industries.

AB  - Olovo i arsen predstavljaju značajnu grupu neorganskih polutanata koji su prisutni uživotnoj sredini, pre svega u vodenim sistemima, pa je njihovo uklanjanje veliki tehničkotehnološki izazov. Zbog toga se sve više pažnje posvećuje razvoju pristupačnih, efikasnih iekološki prihvatljivih adsorbenata. Prirodni materijali na bazi oksida metala (SiO2, Al2O3,Fe2O3), poput ilovače, predstavljaju efikasne adsorbente za uklanjanje katjonskih i anjonskihvrsta iz vodenih rastvora. U ovom radu adsorpciona svojstva ilovače ispitivana su u šaržnomsistemu, promenom pH vrednosti početnog rastvora, dok su masa adsorbenta, vreme itemperature procesa bili konstantni. Značajnu ulogu u odvijanju adsorpcionog procesa ima pHvrednost rastvora, stoga se eksperiment zasnivao na određivanju efikasnosti procesa pri vrednostipH rastvora 4, 5 i 6. Strukturne karakteristike ilovače su određene primenom rendgenskedifrakcione analize (engl. X-Ray Difraction, XRD), infracrvenom spektroskopijom sa Furijeovomtransformacijom (engl. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR) i skenirajuće elektronskemikroskopije (engl. Scanning electron microscopy, SEM). Koncentracija jona nakon procesaadsorpcije određena je pomoću indukovano spregnute plazme sa masenom spektrometrijom (engl.Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry, ICP-MS). Maksimalna efikasnost uklanjanjajona olova postignuta je na pH vrednosti 5 (94,2 %), dok je za jone arsena optimalna pH vrednostbila 6 (35,1 %).
AB  - Lead and arsenic represent an important group of inorganic pollutants that can be found in the environment, primarily in aquatic systems. Their removal from water systems is a big environmental problem, but also a significant technological challenge. Therefore, an increasing attention is paid to the development of widely available, efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbents. Natural metal oxide-based materials (SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3), such as loam, are effective adsorbents for removal of cationic and anionic species. The adsorption experiments were performed in a batch system, varying the pH value of the initial solution, while the mass of adsorbent, time and temperature were constant. The influence of pH value has a leading influence to the adsorption process so the process efficiency was determined at the pH values set at: 4, 5 and 6. The structural characteristics of the loam was performed using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The concentration of ions after their removal was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The maximum removal of lead ions was obtained at pH 5 (94.2%), while for arsenic ions, it was at pH 6 (35.1%).

abstract = "Olovo i arsen predstavljaju značajnu grupu neorganskih polutanata koji su prisutni uživotnoj sredini, pre svega u vodenim sistemima, pa je njihovo uklanjanje veliki tehničkotehnološki izazov. Zbog toga se sve više pažnje posvećuje razvoju pristupačnih, efikasnih iekološki prihvatljivih adsorbenata. Prirodni materijali na bazi oksida metala (SiO2, Al2O3,Fe2O3), poput ilovače, predstavljaju efikasne adsorbente za uklanjanje katjonskih i anjonskihvrsta iz vodenih rastvora. U ovom radu adsorpciona svojstva ilovače ispitivana su u šaržnomsistemu, promenom pH vrednosti početnog rastvora, dok su masa adsorbenta, vreme itemperature procesa bili konstantni. Značajnu ulogu u odvijanju adsorpcionog procesa ima pHvrednost rastvora, stoga se eksperiment zasnivao na određivanju efikasnosti procesa pri vrednostipH rastvora 4, 5 i 6. Strukturne karakteristike ilovače su određene primenom rendgenskedifrakcione analize (engl. X-Ray Difraction, XRD), infracrvenom spektroskopijom sa Furijeovomtransformacijom (engl. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR) i skenirajuće elektronskemikroskopije (engl. Scanning electron microscopy, SEM). Koncentracija jona nakon procesaadsorpcije određena je pomoću indukovano spregnute plazme sa masenom spektrometrijom (engl.Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry, ICP-MS). Maksimalna efikasnost uklanjanjajona olova postignuta je na pH vrednosti 5 (94,2 %), dok je za jone arsena optimalna pH vrednostbila 6 (35,1 %)., Lead and arsenic represent an important group of inorganic pollutants that can be found in the environment, primarily in aquatic systems. Their removal from water systems is a big environmental problem, but also a significant technological challenge. Therefore, an increasing attention is paid to the development of widely available, efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbents. Natural metal oxide-based materials (SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3), such as loam, are effective adsorbents for removal of cationic and anionic species. The adsorption experiments were performed in a batch system, varying the pH value of the initial solution, while the mass of adsorbent, time and temperature were constant. The influence of pH value has a leading influence to the adsorption process so the process efficiency was determined at the pH values set at: 4, 5 and 6. The structural characteristics of the loam was performed using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The concentration of ions after their removal was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The maximum removal of lead ions was obtained at pH 5 (94.2%), while for arsenic ions, it was at pH 6 (35.1%).",

AB  - Radioactive materials released during the two most serious nuclear accidents in history, at Chernobyl and Fukushima, caused exceptionally significant contamination and perturbations of the environment. Among them, this paper focuses on the effects related to the atmospheric electricity (AE). Measurements of the most significant disturbances in the values of various AE parameters recorded near ground level are reviewed and the corresponding results are jointly evaluated. The Chernobyl and Fukushima events caused changes in the AE parameters both after long-distance transport (Chernobyl) and short-distance transport including re-suspension (Fukushima). The data indicates that the electrical conductivity of the air is more sensitive to the presence of airborne radioactivity than the atmospheric electric potential gradient (PG). PG, on the other hand, can be monitored more easily and its variation also reflects the vertical redistribution of radionuclides in the air due to their transport, deposition, and re-suspension from the ground. A brief overview of studies on atmospheric transport and deposition of radioactive clouds is given to facilitate the importance of considering the AE measurements in these subjects, and to incorporate those studies in interpreting the results of AE measurements. The AE measurements are particularly important in studying microphysical effects of enhanced radioactivity in the air where no other distance monitoring method exists, both for fair weather conditions wet conditions.

AB  - Research and practice during the last 20 years has shown that urban agriculture can contribute to minimising the effects of climate change by, at the same time, improving quality of life in urban areas. In order to do so most effectively, land use and spatial planning are crucial so as to obtain and maintain a supportive green infrastructure and to secure citizens' healthy living conditions. As people today trend more towards living in green and sustainable city centres that can offer fresh and locally produced food, cities become again places for growing food. The scope of urban agriculture thereby is to establish food production sites within the city's sphere; for example, through building-integrated agriculture including concepts such as aquaponics, indoor agriculture, vertical farming, rooftop production, edible walls, as well as through urban farms, edible landscapes, school gardens and community gardens. Embedded in changing urban food systems, the contribution of urban agriculture to creating sustainable and climate-friendly cities is pivotal as it has the capacity to integrate other resource streams such as water, waste and energy. This article describes some of the current aspects of the circular city debate where urban agriculture is pushing forward the development of material and resource cycling in cities.

AB  - The chapter aims to summarize different remediation approaches of radionuclide pollutants in water and soil media carried out after decommissioning of nuclear installations worldwide. The attention was focused on different methods of remediation, e.g. natural attenuation, bioremediation, excavating and removing contaminated soil and in situ treatments. The results of radiological assessments of the influence of nuclear cycle facilities in the environment using different modelling approach of the radionuclides transport through the environmental medium are adopted as a useful tool in decision making process applied in remediation of contaminated areas. The current trend in development strategy to support the environmental decision systems for optimization of remediation actions is to use databases on environmental and managerial parameters and radioecological models for the prediction of the effectiveness of remediation measures.

AB  - A valuable tool for external quality control that provides opportunity to improve analytical skills and techniques in the field of radioactivity measurements is participation in proficiency tests (PTs). In this work obtained results from the gamma spectrometry intercomparison for 15 laboratories conducted in May 1986 immediately after the Chernobyl accident for the lucerne sample contaminated with fission products: 140 Ba, 141 Ce, 144 Ce, 134 Cs, 137 Cs, 131 I, 103 Ru, 106 Ru, 95 Zr, are evaluated following the recommendations of the international standard ISO 13528:2005. Environmental radioactivity proficiency tests organized by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are designed to identify analytical problems, to help members states to maintain their accreditation and to provide knowledge and technology transfer in this area. The Analytical Laboratories for the Measurement of Environmental Radioactivity (ALMERA) is a world-wide network of analytical laboratories capable to analyzed radioactivity contents, coordinated by IAEA. Institute for the Application of Nuclear Energy (INEP), University of Belgrade, is an official member since 2013. Annual PTs are organized by ALMERA for the network laboratories using sets of different samples. Based on the PT proposition each result should pass accuracy and precision test to be awarded the status ‘Accepted’, otherwise it lies on the status ‘Warning’ or ‘Not Accepted’. INEP was participated in three worldwide open (in 2006, 2007 and 2011) and six (in a period 2012–2016) PTs organized by IAEA and ALMERA. Radionuclide activity concentrations in different environmental matrices were measured using gamma-ray spectrometer with high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. In IAEA worldwide open PTs among 61 results, 74 % were ‘Accepted’ and 26 % were ‘Not Accepted’. In ALMERA network PTs among 70 results, 84.3 % were ‘Accepted’, 4.3 % were ‘Warning’, 11.4 % were ‘Not Accepted’. PT exercises are the best way to identify gaps and problems areas where further development is needed.

AB  - Soil erosion by water presents an important environmental problem in Serbia resulting in degradation of the soil resources, reducing soil fertility and agricultural production. The highest intensity of erosion was observed at cultivated land occupying steep slopes. The  conversion  of  pastures  to  arable  land  enhances  this  problem. This study presents the preliminary results of Technical Cooperation Project of International Atomic Energy Agency  ̳Strengthening  the  Capacities  for  Soil  Erosion  Assessment  Using  Nuclear Techniques  to  Support  Implementation  of  Sustainable  Land  Management  Practices‘(SRB5003)  aimed  at  estimation  of  soil  erosion  rates  using  the 137Cs-method.  The investigation of Pčinja and South Morava River Basins in southeastern Serbia revealed intensive erosion in the area. The investigation will continue at several other sites and the results will be used to support national soil conservation policy.

U  ovom  radu  prikazani  su  preli-minarni rezultati projekta tehniţke saradnje sa MeŤunarodnom agencijom za atomsku energiju   ̳Jaţanje  kapaciteta  za  procenu  intenziteta  erozije  zemljišta  koriššenjem nuklearnih tehnika u cilju podrške odrţivom upravljanju zemljištem‘ (SRB5003) ţiji je cilj  procena  intenziteta  erozije  zemljišta 137Cs-metodom.  Istraţivanja  sprovedena  u basenima Pţinje i Juţne Morave ukazala su na intenzivnu eroziju na ovom prostoru. Istraţivanja  še  biti  nastavljena  na  nekoliko  drugih  lokacija,  a  rezultati  še  biti upotrebljeni za podršku nacionalnim programima konzervacije zemljišta., Soil erosion by water presents an important environmental problem in Serbia resulting in degradation of the soil resources, reducing soil fertility and agricultural production. The highest intensity of erosion was observed at cultivated land occupying steep slopes. The  conversion  of  pastures  to  arable  land  enhances  this  problem. This study presents the preliminary results of Technical Cooperation Project of International Atomic Energy Agency  ̳Strengthening  the  Capacities  for  Soil  Erosion  Assessment  Using  Nuclear Techniques  to  Support  Implementation  of  Sustainable  Land  Management  Practices‘(SRB5003)  aimed  at  estimation  of  soil  erosion  rates  using  the 137Cs-method.  The investigation of Pčinja and South Morava River Basins in southeastern Serbia revealed intensive erosion in the area. The investigation will continue at several other sites and the results will be used to support national soil conservation policy.",

AB  - Ecological and health hazards were assessed based on the concentrations of selected heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in thirty surface soil samples taken from the sites around the largest Serbian thermal power plant. Ecological risk caused by heavy metals was estimated through pollution indices whose values indicated low to moderate ecological risks. Health hazard associated with residents’ exposure to heavy metals in soil was calculated applying the U.S. EPA model. The ingestion of soil was the most important exposure pathway. The risk assessment showed that exposure to Co, Fe, and Mn would result in an unacceptable non-carcinogenic risk for children. Cr and Pb were reported to significantly contribute to a carcinogenic risk, while total carcinogenic risk remained within the acceptable non-hazardous range.
AB  - Ekološki i zdravstveni rizik su procenjeni u odnosu na koncentracije odabranih teških metala (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb i Zn) u trideset površinskih uzoraka zemljišta iz okoline najveće termoelektrane u Srbiji. Ekološki rizik je procenjen putem različitih pokazatelja zagađenja i njihove vrednosti pokazuju niski do srednji ekološki rizik. Rizik po zdravlje usled izlaganja stanovništva teškim metalima u zemljištu je izračunat primenom modela Agencije za zaštitu životne sredine Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Ingestija zemljišta je identifikovana kao najvažniji put izlaganja. Procena rizika je pokazala da ekspozicija Co, Fe i Mn rezultuje neprihvatljivim nekancerogenim rizikom za decu. Cr i Pb su bili jedini elementi koji su doprinosili u većem obimu kancerogenom riziku, ali je ukupan kancerogeni rizik bio u granicama tolerantnog.

AB  - The concentrations and spatial distribution of nine potentially harmful elements (PHEs), namely Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn, and their relation to soil properties were investigated in thirty soil profiles (0-50 cm depth) sampled around the largest Serbian coal-fired power plant (CFPP) Nikola Tesla A. Soil properties were determined following standard procedures, and total contents of PHEs were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometer. Concentrations of Cd, Co, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn were the highest in soil profiles sampled 1 km away from the CFPP, concentrations of Ni and Cu gradually increased up to 4 km, and the highest Cr concentrations were measured in samples taken 6 km away from the CFPP. The highest concentration of PHEs analyzed, except Mn, corresponded with predominant wind directions. Depth did not show significant impact on distribution of any PHEs investigated. Among soil properties, the total organic carbon showed the closest relationship with the PHEs. Data were processed by a principal component analysis which enabled distinguishing anthropogenic from natural influences on soil properties and PHE contents. Although the impact of CFPP operations is obvious, assets of principal component analysis did not allow clear distinction of CFPPs contribution from parent material in enrichment of PHE contents in the soil in the study area.

AB  - This paper presents the environmental radiation risk assessment based on two software program approaches ERICA Tool (version 1.2) and RESRAD BIOTA (version 1.5) to estimate dose rates to terrestrial biota in the area around the largest coal fired power plant in Serbia. For dose rate assessment software's default reference animals and plants and the best estimated values of activity concentrations of U-238, U-234, Th-234, Th-232, Th-230, Ra-226, (210)pb, (210)po, Cs-137 in soil were used. Both approaches revealed the highest contribution to the internal dose rate due to Ra-226 and Po-210, while (CS)-C-137 contributed the most to the external dose rate. In the investigated area total dose rate to biota derived using ERICA Tool ranged from 03 to 14.4 mu Gy h(-1). The natural radionuclides exhibited significantly higher contribution to the total dose rate than the artificial one. In the investigated area, only dose rate for lichens and bryophytes exceeded ERICA Tool screening value of total dose rate of 10 mu Gy h(-1), suggested as confident that environmental risks are negligible. The assessed total dose rates for reference animals and plants using RESRAD BIOTA were found to be 7 and 3 mu Gy h(-1), respectively. In RESRAD BIOTA - Level 3, 10 species (Lumbricus terrestris, Rana lessonae, Sdurus vulgaris, Anas platyrhynchos, Lepus europaeus, Vulpes vulpes, Capreolus capreolus, Suss crofa, Quercu srobur, Tilia spp.) representative for the study area were modeled. Among them the highest total dose rate (4.5 mu Gy h(-1)) was obtained for large mammals. Differences in the predicted dose rates to biota using the two software programs are the consequence of the difference in the values of transfer parameters used to calculate activity concentrations in biota. Doses of ionizing radiation estimated in this study will not exhibit deterministic effects at the population level. Thus, the obtained results indicate no significant radiation impact of coal fired power plant operation on terrestrial biota. This paper confirms the use ERICA Tool and RESRAD BIOTA softwares as flexible and effective means of radiation impact assessment. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
