Abstract

The present study of pollution of water and soils, was an integral part of the CEI funded project “Environmental Impact assessment of the Kozuf metallogenic district in southern Macedonia in relation to groundwater resources, surface waters, soils and socio-economic consequences
(ENIGMA)” and was performed at particular parts of the famous Kožuf metallogenic district. Our compilation study have shown that the major pollution suffered stream sediments, soil and mine waste related to former Alšar exploration and exploitation with significantly increased
concentrations of heavy metals (6÷8098 mg/kg Sb; 25÷32000 mg/kg As; 1÷922 mg/kg Cd; 5÷569 mg/kg Cr; 2÷20 mg/kg Pb; 4÷154 mg/kg Ni; 1÷775 mg/kg Tl). The latest study of water samples from the Alšar drainage area have not shown some significant pollution, although it was expected (0.00025÷0.00254 mg/l Cr; 0.013÷0.061 mg/l Fe; 0.00015÷ 0.00043 mg/l Co; generaly <0.0005mg/l Ni and three samples ranging 0.00112 ÷ 0.00217 mg/l Ni; 0.00058÷0.0011 mg/l Cu;
0.000272÷0.02731mg/l As, with an exception of one sample (A10-hot water well) where it was recorded value of 0.196469 mg/l As; <0.0005mg/l Cd; 0.000251÷0.009026 mg/l Sb;
0.000102÷0.00061 mg/l Tl; 0.000258 ÷0.001482 mg/l Pb). Our latest findings in regards to the Stara Reka (Dudica) area, where solid samples are still in the stage of laboratory processing, we determined concentrations of heavy metals in water samples: 0.000219÷0.0024 mg/l As; 0.000512÷0.0065 mg/l Pb; 0.00079÷0.0008mg/l Cd; 0.003275÷0.1108mg/l Zn; 0.0000995
÷0.0002mg/l Co; 0.00136÷0.0043mg/l Ni; 0.0000578÷0.0004mg/l Cr; 0.009053÷0.0348mg/l Fe; 0.000437÷0.0017mg/l Cu; 0.000232 to 0.0004 mg/l Sb; 0.0000656÷0.0001mg/l Tl, with all of them
bellow the MDK values.
