“…Urban pollution with heavy metals has recently become a subject of many studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The regional contamination of soil occurs mainly in industrial regions and within centres of large settlements where factories, motor vehicles and municipal wastes are the most important sources of trace metals [1].…”

An overview to the results from the application of various spectrometric (atomic absorption spectrometry, AAS; inductively coupled plasma -atomic emission spectrometry, ICP-AES; and inductively coupled plasma -mass spectrometry, ICP-MS) and radioanalytical (neutron activation analysis, NAA) techniques in environmental pollution studies in the Republic of Macedonia are presented. The results from the surveys of the pollution with heavy metals of soil, air and food are reported. The pollution with heavy metals in the particular regions was additionally investigated using moss, lichens, attic dust, soil, water and sediment samples. The results from the study of the pollution in the cities of Veles (lead and zinc smelter plant), Kavadarci (ferronickel smelter plant), Radoviš (copper mine and flotation), Probištip, Makedonska Kamenica and Kriva Palanka (lead and zinc mines and flotation plants) and Bitola and Kičevo (thermoelectric power plants) are presented.

“…It has been demonstrated that bioaccessibility, and therefore bioavailability, depends on the chemical form of the contaminant (Rasmussen et al 2008;Demetriades et al 2010;Beauchemin et al 2011;Reis et al 2014b) and that the chemical form of the contaminant changes over time, usually resulting in a decreasing bioaccessibility (Tang et al 2008). But the ageing processes that are effective at outdoor removal of contaminants do not operate, or they operate at reduced efficiency, indoors compared to outdoors, because contaminants in indoor dusts are protected from sunlight, rain, temperature extremes, and microbial action, in particular dust trapped in carpets and drapes (Paustenbach et al 1997;Bierkens et al 2011).…”

This study reports on data obtained from a pilot survey focusing on house dust and toenail metal (loids) concentrations in residents living in the industrial city of Estarreja. The study design hereby described aims at investigating relationships between human toenails and both copper and manganese levels in house dusts. A total of 21 households and 30 individuals were recruited for the pilot study: 19 households corresponding to 27 residents living near the industrial complex, forming the exposed group, plus 2 households and 3 residents from residential areas with no anticipated environmental contaminants that were used for comparison. Factorial analysis was used for source apportionment purposes. Investigation on the potential influence of environmental factors over copper and manganese levels in the toenails was carried out via questionnaire data and multiple correspondence analysis. The results show that copper concentrations are more elevated in the indoor dusts while manganese concentrations are more elevated in the outdoor dust samples. The geometrical relationships in the datasets suggest that the backyard soil is a probable source of manganese to the indoor dust. Copper and manganese contents in the toenail clippings are more elevated in children than in adults but the difference between the two age groups is not statistically significant (p> 0.05). Investigation of environmental factors influencing the exposurebiomarker association indicates a probable relationship between manganese contents in indoor dust and manganese levels in toenail clippings, a result that is partially supported by the bioaccessibility estimates.However, for copper no relationship was found between indoor dusts and the biomarkers of exposure.

The Bioaccessibility Research Group of Europe (BARGE) has carried out an interlaboratory trial of a proposed harmonised in vitro physiologically based ingestion bioaccessibility procedure for soils, called the Unified BARGE Method (UBM). The UBM includes an initial saliva phase and simulated stomach and intestine compartments. The trial involved the participation of seven laboratories (five European and two North American) providing bioaccessibility data for As (11 samples), Cd (9 samples) and Pb (13 samples) using soils with in vivo relative bioavailability data measured using a swine model. The results of the study were compared with benchmark criteria for assessing the suitability of the UBM to provide data for human health risk assessments. Mine waste and slag soils containing high concentrations of As caused problems of poor repeatability and reproducibility which were alleviated when the samples were run at lower soil to solution ratios. The study showed that the UBM met the benchmark criteria for both the stomach and stomach & intestine phase for As. For Cd, three out of four criteria were met for the stomach phase but only one for the stomach & intestine phase. For Pb two, out of four criteria were met for the stomach phase and none for the stomach & intestine phase. However, the study recommends tighter control of pH in the stomach phase extraction to improve between-laboratory variability, more reproducible in vivo validation data and that a follow up inter-laboratory trial should be carried out.
