Modern society is facing increasing environmental pollution and climate change, which is a direct consequence of the development of industrial and agricultural production. Livestock production, as a very intensive branch of agriculture, also has a significant environmental impact, through the...

Industrial wastewater contains recalcitrant organic compounds with a very complex chemical structure, built of molecules with long chains of carbon atoms and attached different functional groups. Chemical or biological treatments used for removal of these compounds are being replaced with more...

In the territory of the municipality of Bor, 69 samples were taken from agricultural lands at a depth of 0-30 cm, in which the total content of arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and cobalt was determined. The study area is dominated by dystric cambisol, vertisol, calcomelanosol, and...

Increasing soil pollution has become a global problem because it threatens the production of safe food. In addition, pollutants from the soil through plants, water and air enter the food chains and cycles of matter circulation. A modern approach to the recovery of polluted soils is increasingly...

Sources of heavy metal pollution in soil, main organic and inorganic pollutants and their harmfulness to the environment are discussed. Information is presented on findings on maximum permissible doses of heavy metal contamination of soil with cobalt and manganese. Data are tabulated on total and...

One of the key stages of the process of preparing management plans for the river basin is the analysis of pressures and impacts, as well as the risk assessment of failing to achieve the environmental objectives. DPSIR framework (Driving Forces-Pressure-State-Impact-Response) was developed by the...

The response to this subject and organic agriculture is defined by the ecological degradation. The objective is to produce safety and healthy agricultural product using the minimum of the agro-chemical methods, favorizing the use of the existing natural resources (recycling, bio-mass and energy)....

In this paper, we investigate the impact of air pollution on the content of photosintetic pigments, and the number, and the sizes of stoma's cells for Tilia cordata Mill. and Tilia platyphyllos Scop., on three localities in the area of Banja Luka (Borik, Obilićevo i Paprikovac). The obtained...

During last several decades, arsenic and its compounds have been characterized as major environmental pollutants and thus potential causes of both human and animals poisoning. Water and milk are one of the major sources of arsenic. In this study, the influence of arsenic from drinking water on the...

Basic relations between the state of air pollution and their effects on chemistry of precipitation were introduced in this paper. Changes in the composition of atmosphere were defined by numerous chemical elements and compounds different in character which also affect the phenomenon of...
