Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the selected elements deposition (Al, Ag, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Br, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Fe, Ga, Gd, Ge, Hf, Ho, I, K, La, Li, Lu, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nd, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Sn, Sr, Tb, Ti, Tl, Tm, V, W, Y, Yb, Zn and Zr) in the air of the region of Bregalnica River Basin. Moss species Hypnum cupressiforme (Hedw.), Homalothecium lutescens (Hedw.), and Scleropodium purum (Hedw.) Limpr., were used as biomonitors. Mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma was used for the element determination. All the data were proceed with application of multivariate statistics. Dominant geochemical associations of the elements were: F1: Al-Be-Co-Fe-Ga-Ge-Li-Mg-Sc-Ti-V-Y-(La-Gd)-(Eu-Lu); F2: Ba-Bi-Cd-Pb-Sb-Zn; F3: As-Cs-Rb-Tl; F4: Ca-Sr-B; F5: Hf-Zr; F6: Cr-Cu-Ni; F7: Br-I, with total variability of 84%. The distribution of the second factor was dominant in areas of Neogene pyroclastite, with significant anthropogenic impact from lead-zinc mines “Sasa” and “Zletovo” in M. Kamenica and Probištip environs. These sub-regions were characterized as potentially polluted areas were Cd, Pb and Zn contents reach their maximum values (2.2, 1400 and 240 mg kg-1, respectively).
