The content of photosynthetic pigments in plankton in "Djerdap 1" and "Djerdap 2" reservoirs [Serbia, Serbia&Montenegro]
2003
Obradovic, V. | Janac, M. (Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Cerni", Beograd (Serbia and Montenegro))
In the period October 2001 through November 2002 in six series parallely with physico-chemical and hydrobiological analyses, the content of photosynthetic pigments was determined in algae in the region of flow-through reservoirs of "Djerdap 1" and "Djerdap 2" on the profiles of Smederevo, Ram, Veliko Gradista, Donji Milanovac, Tekija, Kladovo and Radujevac. The samples were taken by a pump from the river midstream at the depth of 1-0 m (composite sample), while in the vegetation period April, June and September, the samples were taken at the depth of 5 m. The peak concentration of chlorophyll-a, the biological indicator of trophic condition, was recorded in the month of April in the Smederevo profile (30.2 mg/cubic meter) at the depth of 1-0 m. The lowest values of chlorophyll-a in all studied cycles were recorded in the Radujevac profile (below the dams) with the mean annual value of 1.8 mg/cubic meter. Chlorophyll-c occurs as the subdominant photosynthetic pigment. Values of chlorophyll-c were higher than chlorophyll-a in the month of June on the Donji Milanovac profile in the analysed sample taken at the depth of 5 m. Higher values of chlorophyll-b were recorded in the course of the vegetation period in the month of June on the profiles of Smederevo, Ram, Veliko Gradiste and Donji Milanovac at the depth of 1-0 m.

2003
Pusic, M. (Rudarsko-geoloski fakultet, Beograd (Serbia and Montenegro)) | Djuric, D. (Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Cerni", Beograd (Serbia and Montenegro))
According to Water Plan of the Republic of Serbia the area between Kovin and Dubovac was marked as a possible place for water source for regional water supply of towns and industry of South Backa Region (Serbia). Commencement of underwater coal exploitation was at the beginning of 1990's in the Danube riparian zone near Dubovacka Ada. Potential influence of long-term underwater coal exploitation from "Kovin" trial coal pit on Dubovacka Ada on quality and quantity of groundwater that will be extracted from regional water source is analysed in this article.

2003
Radenkovic, Z. | Borelli-Zdravkovic, Dj. (Institut za vodoprivredu "Jaroslav Cerni", Beograd (Serbia and Montenegro))
The town Pozarevac water supply is endangered due to groundwater quality degradation on the only remaining water source Kljuc 1. Nitrate content presents critical parameter (MCL in potable water is 50 mg NO3/l) with values in cumulative samples up to 40-45 mg NO3/l, locally up to 70-100 mg NO3/l. Rapid water quality degradation on water source in the last few years is a consequence of the surrounding activities which have influenced on quality deterioration, excessive groundwater extraction, off-line of water source Meminac, unfavourable hydrologic conditions etc.

2003
Vasileska, A. | Novevska, V. (Hidrobioloski institut, Ohrid (The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia))
The activities acid, neutral and alkaline phosphatases, as well as total phosphatases activities were estimated in the water of the Lake Ohrid tributaries Sateska, Koselska, Velgoska and Cherava. The same analyses were performed in the littoral zones where the tribitaries enter Lake Ohrid. The study covers the period from September 2000 to October 2001. The obtained results show that different types of phosphatase effect different extracellular activities, an observation which is probably the result of differences in the location within the cells and the way of intracellular synthesis.

Seasonal variation in airborne aerosol components in the central mountainous area, Japan
2003
Satsumabayashi, H. (Nagano-ken. Research Inst. for Health and Pollution (Japan)) | Kawamura, M. | Katsuno, T. | Nishizawa, H. | Futaki, K. | Murano, K. | Ueda, H.
The seasonal variations of the chemical components in airborne aerosols in a mountainous area were investigated. Field observations were made at Happo at an altitude of 1,850m in the central mountainous region of Japan. Airborne aerosol was collected for 12hours or 24hours from May 1998 to September 1999 and the chemical components (Na+, Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, NH4+, Cl-, SO42-, NO3- and oxalic acid) in the aerosol were measured. In addition, gaseous pollutants, such as ozone and SO2 were monitored simultaneously. The concentrations of Na+ were much higher from autumn to spring than those in summer. Cl- increased in winter and the seasonal variation differed from Na+. The concentrations of Mg2+, K+ and Ca2+, especially Ca2+ increased in spring. It suggests that the increase in this Ca2+ concentration is based on the influence of Kosa aerosol (yellow sand) transported from continental Asia. The concentrations of SO42- and oxalic acid produced by photochemical reaction increased from spring to summer, and NH4+ which is the neutralization ingredient of sulfuric acid showed also the same seasonal variation. The concentration ratios of Cl-/Na+ were quite low compared with that of sea water. This is based on Cl- loss reaction. There was almost no influence of sea salt in the mountainous area, because most of K+, Ca2+ and SO42- were non-sea salt. The sulfate conversion ratio, i.e., SO42- -[S]/(SO2-[S] + SO42--[S]), was as high as 0.8 in summer. In summer and winter, when the concentration of SO42- was high, total equivalent concentration of anions (Cl-, NO3- and SO42-) was much higher than that of cations (Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+), which suggests that a portion of the SO42- existed in the form of acidic aerosols such as H3SO4 and NH4HSO4. It suggests that a part of sulfuric acid produced by the photochemical reaction is transported to the mountainous area without being neutralized by alkali substances, such as NH3.

2003
Tsukioka, T. (Nagano-ken. Research Inst. for Health and Pollution (Japan)) | Sato, M.
An analytical method for an insecticide Fipronil and its metabolite MB 46513 remaining in agricaitunil products has been established which uses GC-ECD and GC/MS for their determination and continuation, respectively. In this method, target compounds are extracted with acetone from agricultural products, concentated, and finally re-extracted with n-hexane. When the sample contains lipid in large quantity, it is first delipidated by partition with acetonitrile, cleaned up with Florisil column, and finally determined by GC-ECD. In the case of vegetables and fruits, which contain lipids in small quantity, the sample is cleaned up with a Florisil column and determined by GOECD. The detection limit of this method is 0.001 micro g/g for both of these kind of samples, the recovery of Fipronil is over 85%, and the C. V. of the recovery is less than 7%. For MB-46513. the recovery is over 63% and its C. V. is less than 9%. This method was applied to 17kinds of agricultural products and no Fipronil and MB46513 were detected.
