Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine the differences between anthropogenic sources and lithogenic sources of the content of certain potentially toxic elements in the region of Mitrovica, Republic of Kosovo. For that purpose, the results of a study on the spatial distribution and enrichment of cobalt, chromium and nickel in surface soil from Mitrovica and its environ, are reported. The average content of Co, Cr and Ni in soil amounts to 22 mg kg⁻¹, 60 mg kg⁻¹ and 96 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. Spatial distribution maps of Co, Cr and Ni shows their predominance in the area of Triassic serpentinites on the North-eastern and Western parts of study area. The lowest contents are found on the outcropping of Miocene latites, quartz-latites and pyroclastites. It has been established that the increased content of Co, Cr and Ni in soils from this area is of lithogenic origin. It is shown that content of Co, Cr and Ni exceeds the target Dutch value in 173 km², 82 km² and 256 km² (from 302 km² of the study area), respectively, while the content of Cr and Ni exceeds the action Dutch value in 17 km² and 63 km², respectively.

摘要

这项研究的主要目的是确定在科索沃共和国米特罗维察地区某些潜在有毒元素的含量的人为来源和岩性来源之间的差异。为此，据报道对米特罗维察及其周围地区表层土壤中钴，铬和镍的空间分布和富集进行了研究。土壤中Co，Cr和Ni的平均含量分别为22 mg kg ^-1、60 mg kg ^-1和96 mg kg ^-1， 分别。Co，Cr和Ni的空间分布图显示了它们在研究区东北和西部三叠纪蛇纹岩地区的优势。在中新世latites，石英latites和pylastlastite的露头中发现了最低的含量。已经确定，该地区土壤中Co，Cr和Ni含量的增加是成岩作用的。它被示出钴，铬的该内容和Ni超过173公里目标荷兰人值²，82公里²和256公里²（从302公里²研究区）分别，而Cr和Ni的含量超过荷兰动作值分别为17 km ²和63 km ²。
