abstract = "One of the most polluted cities in Serbia and Europe is Bor, due to mining and
smelting processes in Mining-Metallurgical Complex in Bor. Mining activities release mainly
SO2 and paritculate matter in air (1) and, as arsenic is usually found in copper and lead ores,
air quality monitoring in Bor has been showing its presence in exceeded annual limit
concentrations in past few years. Exposure to arsenic is related with anemia, skin changes,
peripheral neuropathy and cancer development. This study was carried out to assess
children’s and adult’s exposure to arsenic bound to PM10 and to charcterize risk from their
exposure through the air in the city of Bor. Mean yearly concentrations of arsenic were used
from Reports of the Serbian Enviromental Protection Agency, for measuring stations: Bor-
City park, Bor 1, Bor 2 and Bor-Jugopetrol. The USEPA method was used to assess non-
carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk, which classifies non-carcinogenic risk as acceptable (<1)
or unacceptable (>1) based on hazard quotient (HQ) values for three main exposure
pathways, while cancer risk classification is based on CR values also as acceptable (<1×10 -4 )
or unacceptable (>1×10 -4 ) (2). HQinh values exceeded safe level both for children and adults
on all measuring stations, describing risk as unacceptable via inhalation exposure.
Unacceptable carcinogenic risk for children was calculated on measuring station Bor-
Jugopetrol and for adults on measuring stations Bor-City park, Bor 1 and Bor-Jugopetrol.
Actions for reduction of arsenic release into the air should be taken due to obtained results
for city of Bor., Grad Bor spada među najzagađenije gradove u Republici Srbiji i Evropi. Najveći izvor
zagađenja u ovom gradu predstavlja rudnik bakra, Rudarsko-topioničarski basen Bor, usled
emisije, predominantno, SO2 i suspendovanih čestica (1). Arsen je čest pratilac ruda bakra i
olova, te se iz godine u godinu monitoringom kvaliteta vazduha uočava njegovo prisustvo u
koncentracijama koje prelaze dozvoljene godišnje granice. Izloženost arsenu može dovesti
do razvoja anemije, promena na koži, periferne neuropatije, ali i razvoja karcinoma. Cilj rada
bio je da se proceni izloženost i okarakteriše rizik dece i odraslih od izloženosti arsenu iz
PM10 čestica tj. putem zagađenog vazduha u gradu Boru. Vrednosti prosečnih godišnjih
koncentracija arsena u vazduhu su preuzete iz godišnjih izveštaja Agencije za zaštitu životne
sredine, za merne stanice: Bor-Gradski park, Bor 1, Bor 2 i Bor-Jugopetrol. Zdravstveni rizik
je procenjen metodologijom koju preporučuje Američka agencija za zaštitu životne sredine.
Na osnovu vrednosti količnika hazarda (HQ) za oralni, inhalacioni i dermalni put unosa, ne-
karcinogeni rizik se klasifikuje kao prihvatljiv (<1) ili neprihvatljiv (>1), dok se karcinogeni
rizik klasifikuje na osnovu vrednosti CR, takođe kao prihvatljiv (<1×10-4 ) ili neprihvaljiv
(>1×10 -4 ) (2). Izračunate vrednosti HQinh za decu i odrasle prelaze vrednost 1 ukazujući na
neprihvatljiv rizik od izloženosti arsenu preko PM10 čestica iz zagađenog vazduha na svim
razmatranim mernim stanicama. Neprihvatljiv karcinogeni rizik za decu je izračunat na
stanici Bor-Jugopetrol, a za odrasle na stanicama Bor-Gradski park, Bor 1 i Bor-Jugopetrol.
Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na preku potrebu preduzimanja mera u cilju smanjenja emisije
arsena u vazduh u Boru.",
