Abstract
A few anthropogenic pollutants at the territory of the Republic of Macedonia, were studied, three
Pb‐Zn mines with three mills, one copper mine with mill and copper leaching facility, one Pb‐Zn
smelting and several mines and factories for raw minerals such is the Usje in our capital Skopje. At
the Usje factory were measured values in ranges of 1.46÷2.23% Fe, 440÷940% Mn, 93.4÷104.71
mg Ni kg‐1, 58.57÷83.1 mg Zn kg‐1, 23.1÷34.9% Pb, 42.30÷60.3 mg Cu kg‐1 and 0.59÷1.61 mg Cd kg‐1.
The concentrations of heavy metals at Veles former smelting Pb‐Zn plant were in the range:
20÷1823 mg Pb kg‐1, 29÷2395 mg Zn kg‐1, 28÷65 mg Cd kg‐1, 27÷81 mg Cu kg‐1, 39÷164 mg Ni kg‐1,
508÷938 mg Mn kg‐1 and 1.6÷3.8% Fe, all of them above reference values. Around the Feni
smelting plant concentrations of particular pollution elements were in the range: 16÷31 mg Pb kg‐1,
117÷286 mg Zn kg‐1, 13÷30 mg Co kg‐1, 43÷119 mg Cu kg‐1, 158÷292 mg Ni kg‐1, 519÷903 mg Mn kg‐
1, 119÷236 mg Cr kg‐1 and 2.24÷3.79 % Fe. At the Toranica Pb‐Zn mine all the measured values
multiplexed above the standard values. Enrichment factors ranged from, low 3.75 for nickel up to
362.5 for zinc and extreme 1587.5 for lead. The Zletovo Pb‐Zn mine has been characterized by all
the measured values multiplexed above the standard values with an exception of nickel.
Enrichment factors ranged from mediate ones such were those for copper of 20.8, cadmium of
28.7, arsenic of 32.5 up to high ones for zinc with 341.7 and lead 925. In regards to Sasa Pb‐Zn
mine all the measured values multiplexed above the standard values with an exception of nickel.
Enrichment factors ranged from low for manganese of 12.14 and arsenic of 15.72, median for
copper of 59.15, high for cadmium of 126 and extremely high for zinc with 892.7 and lead 1201.9.
In regards to the Bucim copper mine the median values for Cu in samples were 396 mg kg‐1 and the
ranges from 94.8 to 1171 mg kg‐1, for the Topolnica village the median values in samples were 150
mg kg‐1 with ranges from 52.5 to 1183 mg kg‐1 and for the Bučim village the median values were
145 mg kg‐1 and the ranges from 85.3 to 317 mg kg‐1.
