AB  - The heavy metals content (HMs) was investigated in 14 different medicinal plants collected
from the three regions in Central Serbia, Zlatar, Sokobanja, and Kopaonik. The concentrations
of Cd, Cr, Ni, Hg and Pb were determined: Cd (<0.03–2.72 mg/kg); Cr (<0.08–12.1 mg/kg); Ni
(<0.08–12.2 mg/kg); Pb (0.6–49.0 mg/kg); the Hg concentration was below the detection limit of
0.06 mg/kg in all samples. The daily intake of HMs due to ingestion of 200 mL of herbal infusion
was in all cases below the recommended limit prescribed by the World Health Organization. The
estimated daily intake values were below the values for the oral reference dose regulated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USA EPA). The target hazard quotient and hazard index for Cd,
Cr Ni, and Pb were below 1. Nevertheless, due to the tendency of heavy metals to accumulate in
the organism, attention should be paid to the daily intake of herbal infusion during long-term usage.
Specifically, it is recommended to consume not more than one cup (200 mL) of infusion per day made
from thyme (Mt. Zlatar) and blueberry (Mt. Kopaonik), and not more than two cups per day for
other herbs.

AB  - In this study, a novel porous carbonaceous material, which has been synthesized from almond pits as precursors, has been characterized for the purpose of application as electrodes in electrochemical sensors. The powdery sample of activated carbonized almond pits was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Spectroscopy (DRIFT). Besides, the electrochemical properties of the sample were investigated in a three-electrode system using a CHI potentiostat. Obtained XRD diffractogram confirmed the amorphous phase of the sample, while DRIFT showed the presence of different functional groups. According to the results, synthesized carbonaceous material was found to possess great potential as a low-cost and eco-friendly material for electrochemical applications.

AB  - Xanthates are considered to be the most widely used reagents in the flotation processing of sulphide ores, and therefore are largely present in flotation tailings as residuals. Since xanthates posses a certain toxicity and numerous negative effects from an ecological point of view, it is very important to find a suitable solution for their removal from aqueous solutions. In this study, the removal of xanthate from aqueous solutions was investigated using modified waste slag as promising adsorbent. For that purpose, two different starting concentrations of xanthates were selected, -20, and 90 mg/l. The obtained results showed that over 90% of residual xanthate from the aqueous solution can be removed in a period of 24 hours by using modified waste slag when its initial concentration is 20 mg/dm3 .

AB  - This scientific study investigated the use of activated carbon obtained from black alder cone-like flowers for the adsorption of cyanobacteria cells and cyanotoxins from raw water collected from Aleksandrovac Lake. The material was prepared by carbonization and activation, and the water sample was analysed for microcystin and cylindrospermopsin using LC-MS. The results showed that the lake had a high level of Cyanobacteria, making it unsafe for recreational activities. After treatment with the activated carbon, the removal efficiency was 99,8 %, and with no cyanotoxins remaining. The dominant cyanobacteria species was Raphidiopsis raciborskii, which is a producer of cylindrospermopsin. The study demonstrated the potential of activated carbon for removing harmful cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins from water sources.

AB  - Natural radionuclides are omnipresent in the environment. However, our environment is also contaminated with anthropogenic radionuclides that appear as a consequence of human activities. One of the main sources of increased radioactive contamination in environment was nuclear accident in Chernobyl in 1986. Medicinal herbs have long history of worldwide consumption in traditional medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to control the usage of medicinal herbs and their products, from radiological point of view, as well. In that way, unwanted radiological effects on human health can be avoided. The paper deals with radiological analysis of 7 selected medicinal herbs: (Thymus serpyllum L., Breckland thyme; Hypericum perforatum L., St. John's wort; Rosa canina L., Dog-rose; Mentha sp., mint; Melissa officinalis L., Lemon balm; Tilia tomentosa L., Silver Linden; Achillea millefolium, Yarrow) from the region of Fruška Gora, Republic of Serbia. Specific activities of 137Cs, 40K and 210Pb in medicinal herbs samples are determined by using HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer system. From obtained specific activities individual annual effective doses due to daily ingestion of 200 ml infusion of medicinal herbs were deduced. Obtained specific activities are in intervals: <1.4 Bq/kg, (303 – 1073) Bq/kg and (3.58 – 35.6) Bq/kg, for137Cs, 40K and 210Pb, respectively. Deduced individual annual effective doses due to ingestion are similar to the literature data and are smaller than the recommended limit of 100 μSv, defined in Article 8 of the Regulation on limits of radionuclide content in drinking water, foodstuffs, feeding stuffs, drugs, items of general use, building materials and other goods to be placed on the market (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, 2018). Therefore, a daily use of 200 mL of herbal infusion during a year made from the investigated medicinal herbs does not pose a significant radiological health risk for consumers.

The paper deals with radiological analysis of 7 selected medicinal herbs: (Thymus serpyllum L., Breckland thyme; Hypericum perforatum L., St. John's wort; Rosa canina L., Dog-rose; Mentha sp., mint; Melissa officinalis L., Lemon balm; Tilia tomentosa L., Silver Linden; Achillea millefolium, Yarrow) from the region of Fruška Gora, Republic of Serbia. Specific activities of 137Cs, 40K and 210Pb in medicinal herbs samples are determined by using HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer system. From obtained specific activities individual annual effective doses due to daily ingestion of 200 ml infusion of medicinal herbs were deduced. Obtained specific activities are in intervals: <1.4 Bq/kg, (303 – 1073) Bq/kg and (3.58 – 35.6) Bq/kg, for137Cs, 40K and 210Pb, respectively. Deduced individual annual effective doses due to ingestion are similar to the literature data and are smaller than the recommended limit of 100 μSv, defined in Article 8 of the Regulation on limits of radionuclide content in drinking water, foodstuffs, feeding stuffs, drugs, items of general use, building materials and other goods to be placed on the market (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, 2018). Therefore, a daily use of 200 mL of herbal infusion during a year made from the investigated medicinal herbs does not pose a significant radiological health risk for consumers.",

AB  - Fourteen samples of nine different species were collected in the region of Fruška gora, the suburban areas of Belgrade, and the vicinity of Vlasina Lake (Serbia) have been analyzed from the radiological point of view. Specific activities of radionuclides 210Pb, 137Cs, and 40K were measured using a semiconductor HPGe spectrometer system in these wild mushroom samples. The activity concentrations of all measured dried wild mushrooms are for 210Pb: between 2.05 Bq/kg and 9.74 Bq/kg; for 137Cs: between < 0.2 Bq/kg and 19.3 Bq/kg; for 40K between 704 Bq/kg and 2530 Bq/kg. The total individual annual effective doses due to ingestion of 210Pb, 137Cs, and 40K radionuclides within a 0.5 kg dry mass of the wild mushrooms is between 3.99 µSv and 10.81 µSv, and are much lower than the recommended level for the public (1 mSv/y).

AB  - U bogatoj flori Srbije uspeva veliki broj vrsta lekovitog bilja čiji se sastojci koriste u farmaceutskoj industriji i medicini, kako zvaničnoj tako i narodnoj. Pored toga lekovito bilje se u velikoj meri koristi u svakodnevnoj upotrebi kao neka vrsta napitka. Prirodni radionuklidi (radionuklidi uranovog i torijumovog niza kao i K-40) sastavni su deo naše životne sredine, a kao posledicu nuklearnih akcidenata imamo i prisustvo antropogenih radionuklida, pre svega Cs-137. Masovna upotreba lekovitog bilja predstavlja radijaciono opterećenje za široku populaciju, pa je zbog toga neophodan redovan monitoring. U ovom radu analizirano je 9 vrsta lekovitog bilja sa područja Gučeva (Zapadna Srbija). Specifične aktivnosti prirodnih radionuklida Pb-210 i K-40, kao i Cs-137 određene su merenjem svih uzoraka na poluprovodničkom HPGe spektrometru. Izračunate su godišnje efektivne doze usled ingestije za svaki izmereni radionuklid, i za dve starosne kategorije (uzrast od jedne godine i odrasla osoba). Svi proračuni su zasnovani na pretpostavci da se dnevno pije 200 ml čaja priprepremljenog korišćenjem određene lekovite biljake. Dobijene vrednosti za efektivnu dozu ingestije upućuju na zaključak da svakodnevna upotreba čajeva od lekovitih biljaka sa analiziranog područja ne predstavlja značajan radiološki rizik po zdravlje odrasle osobe, ali je neophodan oprez i obazrivost kada su u pitanju deca.
AB  - In the rich flora of Serbia, there are a large number of medicinal plants types used in the pharmaceutical industry and medicine. There is also a large percentage of daily use of herbal teas as some kind of beverages. Natural radionuclides (radionuclides of the uranium and thorium series as well as K-40) are an integral part of our environment, and as a consequence of nuclear accidents we also have the presence of anthropogenic radionuclides, primarily Cs-137. The significant use of medicinal plants represent a radiological burden for the general population, so the regular monitoring is needed. In this work, 9 types of medicinal plants from the area of Gučevo (Western Serbia) were analysed. The specific activities of natural radionuclides 210-Pb i 40-K as well as Cs-137 were determined using a semiconductor HPGe spectrometer. Annual effective dose due to ingestion were calculated for each measured radionuclide, and for two age categories (one year old and adult). All calculations are based on the assumption daily consumption of 200 ml of herbal tea. The obtained values for the annual effective dose due to ingestion point to the conclusion that the daily use of medicinal plant teas from the analyzed area does not represent a significant radiological risk for the health of adults, but caution and prudence are necessary when it is about children.

AB  - The impact of urbanization and modern agricultural practice has led to accelerated eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems, which has resulted in the massive development of cyanobacteria. Very often, in response to various environmental influences, cyanobacteria produce potentially car-cinogenic cyanotoxins. Long-term human exposure to cyanotoxins, through drinking water as well as recreational water (i.e., rivers or lakes), can cause serious health consequences. In order to overcome this problem, this paper presents the synthesis of completely new activated carbons and their potential application in contaminated water treatment. The synthesis and characterization of new active carbon materials obtained from waste biomass, date-palm leaf stalks (P_AC) and black alder cone-like flowers (A_AC) of reliable physical and chemical characteristics were presented in this article. The commercial activated carbon (C_AC) was also examined for the purpose of comparisons with the obtained materials. The detailed characterization of materials was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), low-temperature N2 physisorption, and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Preliminary analyzes of the adsorption capacities of all activated carbon materials were conducted on water samples from Aleksandrovac Lake (Southern part of Serbia), as a eutrophic lake, in order to remove Cyanobacteria from water. The results after 24 h of filtration showed removal efficiencies for P_AC, A_AC, and C_AC of 99.99%, 99.99% and 89.79%, respectively.

AB  - Adsorption is one of the well-known methods in the removal of various pollutants from water bodies. The activated carbon material has great potential in water purification as an adsorbent. In process of adsorption various pollutants from water, such as different type of pathogens and toxins that can be potential risk for human health, can be effectively removed by activated carbon. The aim of this study is detail characterization of newly synthesized activated carbon materials from biowaste. Dried date palm leaf stalk (Phoenix dactylifera L.) and black alder cone-like flowers (Alnus glutinosa L.) have been chosen as bio-waste precursors. The activated carbon materials were firstly carbonized in atmosphere of N2 and then activated in atmosphere of CO2. Both processes are performed at 750 °C during 1 h. The yields of materials were 36.5 % and 24.7 % made of datepalm leaf stalk (P_AC) and black alder cone-like (A_AC) flowers, respectively. The commercial activated carbon has been characterized in order to compare with synthesized materials. For structural and chemical properties of materials was characterized in detail by: X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), low temperature N2 physisorption and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). According to those results, materials obtained from date palm leaf stalk and black alder fruits show that newly synthesized materials have properties of an adsorbent with good potential for usage in water purification from different types of pollutants.

AB  - In order to avoid environmental issues considering disposal of great volumes of waste generated from the mining industry processes there is a tendency among researchers to find potential use of these harmful by-products. Waste slag is one such waste product since the content of different undesirable elements like cadmium, arsenic, zinc and other heavy metals may be at a level that can potentially endanger the environment and cause public health issues. On the other hand, tailings generated in the flotation facilities are also considered to be environmentally harmful because of different residual organic reagents that are applied in the process. As it is well-known, xanthates are the most widely used reagents in flotation processing of the sulfide ores, and, therefore largely present in tailings. Besides, xanthates are reported to pose toxicity and numerous negative impacts from the ecological point of view. That explains why it is of great importance to find efficient and low-cost routes for minimizing their remaining levels in tailings, therefore exposure to environment. In this study, xanthate absorption by using of the waste slag as adsorbent was investigated. For that purpose, three different starting concentrations of xanthates were selected, -20, 50 and 90 mg/l. The mass of the absorbent i.e. waste slag put into 50 ml of xanthate solution amounted to 0.01 g. Experiment was conducted on room temperature while pH value was set to be 10. The percentage of the total xanthates content absorbed was evaluated after the period of 24 h. Obtained results indicated that potential reuse of the waste slag for the removal of xanthates, may be justified and after 24 h, 98 %, 58 % and 62 % of the xanthates were adsorbed, respectively. However, further examination is needed in terms of better understanding of xanthate absorption mechanisms and improvement of waste slag absorption efficiency.

AB  - In the present paper, possible application of novel concept synthesis method of ceramic composite sealants (CCS) with implementation of alumosilicate-based waste material in intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC) was investigated. Besides two different basic variants of alumina matrix nanocomposites stabilized by rare earths and carbon materials (CCS-RE and CCS-C), for this purpose two additional sealant compositions with 5 wt.% addition of waste material (CCS-RE5 and CCS-C5) were designated for a comparative study. The aim of this research was to characterize the waste material, as well as the starting components used for developing ceramic composites through various characterization techniques. Analytical procedures for determining chemical composition with focus on heavy metal content in waste was performed in order to ensure the waste is ecologically acceptable to be used as an additive. Besides, the crystalline phase composition of the raw materials as well as of the sealant compositions was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Finally, obtained results revealed that this research may provide the possible solution of forming a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly and high-efficient ceramic sealants for application in IT-SOFC by incorporating waste materials in its composition, without significant negative effects on its performance and main properties.

Concentrations of other radionuclides are lower than their concentrations in the soil, except for concentration of 40K in black walnut fruit, which objectively have more potassium due to the structure of the fruit. It indicates that the consumption of leaf and nut tinctureis absolutely safe, especially in relation to artificial radionuclides.

AB  - This paper presents the examination of potential application of slag, obtained from lignite combustion process in heating plant in Valjevo, Serbia, as a replacement for cement in mortars and concrete production. Waste slag was characterized with X-Ray Diffraction Analysis, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and Gamma spectrometric analysis, while its application possibility was investigated with testing Pozzolan activity Strength activity index, Activity index and Water requirement. The aim of this study is to determine under what conditions the slag could successfully replace cement in construction industry in certain percentages. Based on presented results it was concluded that, after mixing with silicate fume, waste slag can be used for the purpose mentioned. Optimal proportion of cement replacement is 20%-: 18% of slag and 2% of silica fume.

AB  - Specific activity of 137Cs, 40K, and 210Pb radionuclides in fifteen selected medicinal herbs from three locations in Central Serbia (two mountains, Kopaonik and Zlatar, and a valley, Sokobanja) was measured using two semiconductor HPGe spectrometer systems. The obtained values are in intervals (<0.3 ÷ 9.7) Bq/kg, (<0.2 ÷ 24.7) Bq/kg, and (<0.2 ÷ 5.7) Bq/kg for 137Cs; in intervals (125 ÷ 1100) Bq/kg, (104 ÷ 872) Bq/kg, and (103 ÷ 954) Bq/kg for 40K, and in intervals (3.6 ÷ 49.0) Bq/kg, (3.9 ÷ 57.9) Bq/kg, and (2.8 ÷ 103) Bq/kg for 210Pb, for herbs from Kopaonik, Sokobanja and Zlatar, respectively. The highest activity measured in individual herbs was: 24.7 Bq/kg for 137Cs (Sokobanja valley), 1100 Bq/kg for 40K (Mt. Kopaonik) and 103 Bq/kg for 210Pb (Mt. Zlatar). The corresponding individual annual effective doses due to ingestion calculated from the measured activity concentrations, of the radionuclides are: in intervals (<1.7 ÷ 82.9) nSv, (<1.4 ÷ 211) nSv, and (<1.1 ÷ 48.7) nSv for 137Cs; in intervals (0.76 ÷ 4.5) μSv, (0.64 ÷ 4.4) μSv, and (0.63 ÷ 4.9) μSv for 40K, and in intervals (1.1 ÷ 18.2) μSv, (1.3 ÷ 21.6) μSv, (0.9 ÷ 38.3) μSv for 210Pb, respectively. The specific activity concentration values of 137Cs and 40K obtained for the investigated herbs are similar to the literature data, while no information was found in literature about specific activity concentration of 210Pb. The all values obtained for individual annual effective dose due to ingestion are less than 100 μSv, which means that the daily use of 200 mL of herbal infusion during a year made from the investigated herbs does not represent a radiological risk for health. However, a high individual annual effective dose of ingestion of 210Pb obtained for some herbs indicate that their consumption in larger amounts 2–3 cups of infusion daily over a year could make the dose to exceed the recommended level, and points to necessity for extensive investigation of 210Pb activity concentration worldwide. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Lekovite  biljke  imaju  dugu  istoriju  upotrebe  širom  sveta  u  tradicionalnoj  medicini. MeĎutim, njihova upotreba, kao i upotreba biljnih proizvoda mora se kontrolisati,kako bi  se  izbegla  pojava  neţeljenih  efekata  na  zdravlje  ljudi.  Specifične  aktivnosti radionuklida 40K, 137Cs  i 210Pb  u  uzorcima  lekovitih  biljaka  izmerenesu  pomoću poluprovodničkog  HPGe  spektrometarskog  sistema,  na  osnovu  čega  je  odreĎena prosečna godišnja efektivna doza ingestije za odrasle koji piju dnevno 200 ml čaja pripremljenog od lekovitih biljaka. U radu je prikazana radiološka analiza 7 odabranih lekovitih  biljaka  sa  područja  Majdanpeka.  Dobijene  vrednosti  za  efektivnu  dozu ingestije slične su vrednostima objavljenim u drugim studijama i manje su od 100 μSv, što  upućuje  na  zaključak  da  svakodnevna  upotreba  čajeva  od  analiziranih  lekovitih biljaka sa područja Majdanpeka ne predstavlja značajan radiološki rizik po zdravlje.
AB  - Medicinal plants have a long history in traditional medicine worldwide. However, their use,  as  well  as  the  use  of  plant  products,  must  be  controlled  in  order  to  avoid  the occurrence  of  undesirable  effects  on  human  health.  Specific  activities  of  radionuclides 40K, 137Cs  and 210Pb  in  samples  of  medicinal  plants  were  measured  using  a  semi-conductor HPGe spectrometer system. The average annual effective dose for adults due to  daily  ingestion  of  200  ml  herbal  infusion  prepared  from  medicinal  plants  is determined. In this paper a radiological analysis of 7 selected medicinal plants from the area of Majdanpekis presented. The values obtained for an  effective dose of ingestion are similar to the values published in other studies and are less than 100 μSv, suggesting that  the  daily  use  of   herbal  infusions  from  analyzed  medicinal  plants  from  the Majdanpek area does not represent a significant radiological health risk

abstract = "Lekovite  biljke  imaju  dugu  istoriju  upotrebe  širom  sveta  u  tradicionalnoj  medicini. MeĎutim, njihova upotreba, kao i upotreba biljnih proizvoda mora se kontrolisati,kako bi  se  izbegla  pojava  neţeljenih  efekata  na  zdravlje  ljudi.  Specifične  aktivnosti radionuklida 40K, 137Cs  i 210Pb  u  uzorcima  lekovitih  biljaka  izmerenesu  pomoću poluprovodničkog  HPGe  spektrometarskog  sistema,  na  osnovu  čega  je  odreĎena prosečna godišnja efektivna doza ingestije za odrasle koji piju dnevno 200 ml čaja pripremljenog od lekovitih biljaka. U radu je prikazana radiološka analiza 7 odabranih lekovitih  biljaka  sa  područja  Majdanpeka.  Dobijene  vrednosti  za  efektivnu  dozu ingestije slične su vrednostima objavljenim u drugim studijama i manje su od 100 μSv, što  upućuje  na  zaključak  da  svakodnevna  upotreba  čajeva  od  analiziranih  lekovitih biljaka sa područja Majdanpeka ne predstavlja značajan radiološki rizik po zdravlje., Medicinal plants have a long history in traditional medicine worldwide. However, their use,  as  well  as  the  use  of  plant  products,  must  be  controlled  in  order  to  avoid  the occurrence  of  undesirable  effects  on  human  health.  Specific  activities  of  radionuclides 40K, 137Cs  and 210Pb  in  samples  of  medicinal  plants  were  measured  using  a  semi-conductor HPGe spectrometer system. The average annual effective dose for adults due to  daily  ingestion  of  200  ml  herbal  infusion  prepared  from  medicinal  plants  is determined. In this paper a radiological analysis of 7 selected medicinal plants from the area of Majdanpekis presented. The values obtained for an  effective dose of ingestion are similar to the values published in other studies and are less than 100 μSv, suggesting that  the  daily  use  of   herbal  infusions  from  analyzed  medicinal  plants  from  the Majdanpek area does not represent a significant radiological health risk",
