Abstract
The total deposited dust was used as sampling media for monitoring the distribution of
heavy metals in an area with intensively exploited copper minerals (Bučim copper mine, R.
Macedonia). The content of Cu and Pb was determinate using atomic emission spectrometry
with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-AES). Within the study area, three sampling spots
(settlements) were selected: villages Bučim and Topolnica and the town of Radoviš. In the
copper mine environ, there are some values above the national maximum permitted value for
deposited dust (300 mg m-2 d-1). Larger amounts of dust are deposited in the villages Bučim
and Topolnica (annual average values of 489 mg m-2 d-1, and 309 mg m-2 d-1 respectively) with
a maximum value (815 mg m-2 d-1) obtained in the Bučim village. Higher contents of Cu and
Pb were obtained from deposited dust samples collected from Topolnica village (max. value
1183 mg kg-1 and 184 mg kg-1, respectively). ). In the town of Radoviš deposited dust was not
above the maximum permitted amount for deposited dust, but higher content of Cu and Pb
contents were found (max. values 1171 mg kg-1 and 189 mg kg-1 respectively).
