“…A similar decreasing trend was also pronounced for lead, manganese, cadmium, and nickel in PM 10 from 2006 to 2011, while concentrations of arsenic were at similar levels as those reported here [ 95 ]. The ambient air levels of metals observed in this study were lower than the ones obtained from urban and urban background sites in some other studies [ 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 ] and similar to the concentrations of metals obtained from an urban background site in Italy [ 104 ].…”

Air pollution is recognized as one of the most serious public health issues worldwide and was declared to be a leading environmental cause of cancer deaths. At the same time, the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay serves as a cancer predictive method that is extensively used in human biomonitoring for populations exposed to environmental contamination. The objective of this cross-sectional study is two-fold: to evaluate genomic instability in a sample (N = 130) of healthy, general population residents from Zagreb (Croatia), chronically exposed to different levels of air pollution, and to relate them to air pollution levels in the period from 2011 to 2015. Measured frequencies of CBMN assay parameters were in agreement with the baseline data for the general population of Croatia. Air pollution exposure was based on four factors obtained from a factor analysis of all exposure data obtained for the examined period. Based on the statistical results, we did not observe a significant positive association between any of the CBMN assay parameters tested and measured air pollution parameters for designated time windows, except for benzo(a)pyrene (B[a]P) that showed significant negative association. Our results show that measured air pollution parameters are largely below the regulatory limits, except for B[a]P, and as such, they do not affect CBMN assay parameters’ frequency. Nevertheless, as air pollution is identified as a major health threat, it is necessary to conduct prospective studies investigating the effect of air pollution on genome integrity and human health.

“…Therefore, factor 1 represents a mixed anthropogenic source that is mainly related to domestic heating and also to traffic and industry. Žero et al (2017) 1 came to very similar results by analyzing PM 10 from urban and rural sites in the Sarajevo Canton, BiH. The enrichment factor analysis performed by the authors showed that potential sources of PM are domestic heating, oil burning, and agricultural activities.…”

“…Atmospheric particulate matter (PM or aerosol) with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 10 μm (PM 10 ) can contain a wide range of chemical components that depend on the emission sources and atmospheric processing. 1 − 3 Metals, inorganic ions, organic aerosols, and elemental carbon can be constituents of PM. 4 − 6 Even though metals often make up only a relatively small part of aerosol mass, 3 they are very good tracers of a high number of different sources and processes.…”

“…And yet, despite numerous worldwide studies on atmospheric concentrations and sources of PM constituents, similar studies are scarce in BiH, mostly presenting ambient concentrations of PM 10 , O 3 , NO 2 , NO, and metals in street dust. Available publications discuss air pollution in Sarajevo, 1 , 14 − 22 Tuzla, 23 Mostar, 24 , 25 and Banja Luka. 26 Delibašić et al 27 presented results for metals in street dust of the Federation of BiH, while Ramić et al 28 reported data of air pollution biomonitoring in BiH using Hypogymnia physodes .…”

“…Šehbajraktarević et al 17 is the only study conducted at the same measuring sites as the study at hand, but with a different focus—heavy metals in atmospheric precipitation. Sulejmanović et al, 20 Žero et al, 1 and Huremović et al 21 focused on short-time measurements of PM metals in the city of Sarajevo, with results showing that metals concentrations are higher during the cold, winter period and household heating season.…”

The Sa rajevo Canton Winter Fi eld Ca mpaign 2018 (SAFICA) was a project that took place in winter 2017–2018 with an aim to characterize the chemical composition of aerosol in the Sarajevo Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), which has one of the worst air qualities in Europe. This paper presents the first characterization of the metals in PM 10 (particulate matter aerodynamic diameters ≤10 μm) from continuous filter samples collected during an extended two-months winter period at the urban background Sarajevo and remote Ivan Sedlo sites. We report the results of 18 metals detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The average mass concentrations of metals were higher at the Sarajevo site than at Ivan Sedlo and ranged from 0.050 ng/m 3 (Co) to 188 ng/m 3 (Fe) and from 0.021 ng/m 3 (Co) to 61.8 ng/m 3 (Fe), respectively. The BenMAP-CE model was used for estimating the annual BiH health (50% decrease in PM 2.5 would save 4760+ lives) and economic benefits (costs of $2.29B) of improving the air quality. Additionally, the integrated energy and health assessment with the ExternE model provided an initial estimate of the additional health cost of BiH’s energy system.
