CONCENTRATIONS OF TOXIC METALS PB AND CD IN FOODSTUFFS OF PLANT ORIGIN: CASE STUDY OF THE VILLAGE OF BAROŠEVAC, SERBIA 2017 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/1/6972 https://sciforum.net/conference/MEP17-6/MEP17-WS2 B. Vakanjac A. Koprivica Č. Beljić V. Ristić Vakanjac Monitoring and analysis of concentrations of toxic metals in soils and crops indicate that farmland in Serbia is generally not polluted and that the quality of soils is naturally good. Such soils are therefore suitable for organic farming. All noted instances of contamination by toxic metals are of a local nature only and a result of applied fertilizers and pesticides, municipal waste, exhaust gases, nearby production facilities, smelting plants, mines, tailings ponds, and the like. Locations of this type need to be monitored regularly and the status of the soil and crops assessed. In this regard, the Public Health Institute of Serbia “Dr. Milan Jovanović Batut” has tested the health adequacy of crops and produce from the village of Baroševac, situated near an active open-pit lignite coal mine. The results are presented in the paper with special emphasis on lead and cadmium. conferenceObject 178 183 MINING AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROCEEDINGS ISBN 978-86-7352-298-2
