AB  - A part of the Raša Bay (western Croatia) is an estuary that is fed by the sediment load from the Raša River. The local area
had been affected by the former Raša coal industry. The aim of this study was to determine levels of hazardous trace elements (HTEs) in bottom estuarine sediments, fish and mussels collected from two sites downstream of the Raša River
mouth, and a wild boar’s kidney donated by hunters. The pseudo-total concentrations of 21 HTEs in sediments were
obtained by the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique. The results showed that sediment collected closest to the former
Raša coal separation unit Štalije was enriched in V, Sr, Ni, Cu, and Pb. Concentrations of HTEs in flathead grey mullet,
wild blue mussels, and wild boar were obtained by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results
showed that Pb, Cd and Hg in fish and wild mussels were not elevated compared to the Regulation levels of contaminants
in food. Lead and Cd in the kidney of a wild boar exceeded the prescribed maximum values for food. This study warrants
further geochemical investigations of the Raša Bay environment.
