Abstract

In the paper will be show the results from the geochemical recearch on samples taken from the running waters
of Kiselica River, Kalnishtanska River, Koritnica River and Zletovska river.
Exploitation and flotation of lead-zinc ore is sent with the creation of large amounts of waste of the rock. Waste
water contain metals / contaminants such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Mn, As and others, depending on the nature of
the ore. By examining the diagrams related to the concentration of heavy metals in the water and sediments of
rivers Kiselica, Koritnica Zletovska we can conclude that the present mining activities related to mining for lead
and zinc Zletovo causes contamination in the environment with heavy and toxic metals.
Contamination does not stop with the stopping of function of the mine, but lag contaminants released into the
environment, and change its chemical form so that can change the location of its concentration.
