Cd and Zn in atmospheric deposit, soil, wheat, and milk.

Continuous air quality monitoring in the Vojvodina district of Serbia and Montenegro has shown high levels of Cd, especially in the outskirts of large towns such as Kikinda. The construction and metal processing industries located in Kikinda have been emitting significant amounts of heavy metals into the environment. The levels of Cd and Zn were monitored in the region of Kikinda and compared to their concentrations detected in Novi Sad, the capital of Vojovodina, where emission of heavy metals originated mostly from vehicle traffic.

Trace metal distribution in surface soils of Novi Sad and bank sediment of the Danube River.

Concentration ofCu. Cd, Pb, Zn, As, Mn, and Fe in the Novi Sad city urban area surface soil samples and the Danube bank sediment sample were measured in 2001. The results correspond to a network of six representative sampling sites in which the main soil properties, organic matter, water content, pH, and particle size have also been determined.
