“…Strbac et al (2013) monitored the content of Al and Fe in the liver of common carp and other fish species from several sites in the Tisza River. They found the content of aluminium in the liver of common carp to be 5.26-45.56 µg/g wet weight and that of iron to be .66 µg/g wet weight depending on locality.…”

ABSTRACT:Contamination of Pansky Pond, in March 2013, with 119 mg/l aluminium, and 87 mg/l iron by acidic (pH 3.17) inflow from a nearby quarry caused fish die-off, while exhibiting symptoms of suffocation. Transformation of soluble forms of aluminium and iron into insoluble forms occurred on fish gill where the content of aluminium and iron was 100-fold and 12-fold, respectively, that found in control fish in an unaffected pond. In addition to insoluble aluminium and iron, gills showed presence of iron bacteria. Histopathology was characterised by expression of reactive processes and regressive alterations resulting in gill tissue necrosis. Impairment of the excretory function of gills was reflected in significantly (P < 0.01) higher concentrations of ammonia in the blood plasma of exposed fish compared to the control. Damage to parenchymatous tissues (kidney, liver, spleen) of the exposed fish was manifested as dystrophic alterations, higher aluminium and iron content, and enhanced activity of transaminases in blood plasma compared to the control.

Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements, but they are regarded as significant environmental pollutants due to high density and high toxicity even at low concentrations. The aim of this paper is evaluation of the pollution level of heavy metals in the river and riverbank sediments as well as the estimation of their origin and spatial differences along the course of the Vrbas River through Banja Luka. The concentrations of metals have been assessed using the Inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry and Advanced mercury analyzer for mercury determination. Anthropogenic impact on heavy metal concentration in sediments was estimated by calculating pollution indices: Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), Contamination factor (Cf), Pollution Load Index (PLI), and Potential Ecological Risk Index (Er). Obtained results indicate that there is no statistically significant spatial difference in metal concentration, indicating that heavy metals in sediments have a constant source. The anthropogenic impact expressed by values of pollution indices showed that sites are generally uncontaminated by Co, Cr, and V and moderately contaminated by Zn, Cu, and Ni. On the contrary, lead, mercury and cadmium pose the highest ecological risk. The anthropogenic source of Pb, Hg and Cd is industry, municipal waste and the combustion of fossil fuels. Obtained results demonstrate the high ecological risk and need for environmental monitoring, supporting an efficient strategy to reduce local pollution and contamination of the investigated system.
