Abstract and Figures

During the period from January 1999 to December 2000 field research has been made at 20 measuring points on the river Bregalnica together with its tributaries. The content of the heavy metals (Pb, Zn and Cd) has been determined in water. In the first year of research the material for analysis was taken once a month during the year (from January to December 1999) but in the second year of research the material of analysis has taken once in a season (spring, summer, autumn and winter 2002). The research made during these two years on the territory of East Macedonia had an aim to establish the degree of water pollution in the river Bregalnica with its tributaries, pollution with heavy metals as a result of direct release of waste water from lead-zinc mines “Zletovo” and “Sasa” as well as from copper mine “Bucim”.

Abstract
During
the
period
from
January
1999
to
December
2000
field
research
has
been
made
at
20
measuring
points
on
the
river
Bregalnica
together
with
its
tributaries.
The
content
of
the
heavy
metals
(Pb,
Zn
and
Cd)
has
been
determined
in
water.
In
the
first
year
of
research
the
material
for
analysis
was
taken
once
a
month
during
the
year
(from
January
to
December
1999)
but
in
the
second
year
of
research the
material
of
analysis
has
taken
once
in
a
season
(spring,
summer,
autumn
and
winter
2002).
The
research
made
during
these
two
years
on
the
territory
of
East
Macedonia
had
an
aim
to
establish
the
degree
of
water
pollution
in
the
river
Bregalnica
with
its
tributaries,
pollution with
heavy
metals
as a
result
of
direct
release
of
waste
water
from
lead-zinc
mines
“Zletovo”
and
“Sasa”
as
well
as
from
copper
mine
“Bucim”.

Lead
Because
of
the
high
toxicity
of
lead,
research
in
our
country
and
abroad
pays
great attention
to
the
sources
of
its
emission
into
atmosphere,
its
concentration
in
pedosphere,
organs
of
plants,
food
products,
and
absorption
into
human
organism
directly
or
indirectly
through
food
and
water,
as
well
as
the
harmful
effects
of
lead
upon
living
organisms.
Lead
is
a
widely
spread
element
and
is
present in
all
components
of
biosphere
beginning
from
the
soil,
in
natural
waters
and
in
atmosphere.
Knowledge
of
the
regularities
of
natural
spreading
of
lead
in
biosphere
is
of
particular
importance
and
represents
a
serious
task
for
the
modem
science.
If
we have in
mind
the
above
mentioned
facts
as
well
as
the
biological
consequences
of
the
accumulation
of
lead
in
outer
environment
which
are
determined
at
the
molecular-
genetic
and
ontogenetic
level
of
organization
of
living
system,
in
the
frames
of
the
research
realized
on
a
part
of
the
territory
in
Eastern
Macedonia,
or
more
concretely
in
the
water
basin
of
the
river
Bregalnica,
the
content
of
lead
in
the
waters
of
this
river
with
its
tributaries
was
determined
along
approximately
90
km,
beginning
from
the
site
Iliovo
immediately
before
the
mouth
of
the
river
Bregalnica
into
the
artificial
accumulation
lake
“Kalimanci”,
including
the
lake
“Kalimanci”
as
well
as
the
irrigation
system
“Bregalnica”.
From
the
results
acquired
after
two-year
research
while
the
annual
an
seasonal
dynamics
of
the
lead
content
in
the
river
Bregalnica
with
its
tributaries
was
monitored,
it
can
be
seen
that
there
is
a
variation
in
the
values
of,
a
relatively
wide
range
between
respective
measuring
sites,
monthly
variations
as
well
as
differences
in acquired values
between
the
two
research
years,
which
id
the
consequence
of
anthropogenie
influence
upon
the
living
environment.

and
Kamenicka
reka
after
the

are
characterized
both
with relatively
high
average
annual
values
(1,38-3,32 mg/I)
and
with
significantly
high
values measured
in
the
course
of
the
whole
researched
year
(1999)
as
shown
In
Table
1.
All
this
is
the
result
of
the
fact
that
these
rivers,
being
the
tributaries
of
the
river
Bregalnica,
carry
the
waste
waters
from
the
flotation
of
the
lead-zinc
ore
from
the
mine
“Sasa”.
The
relatively
high
average
annual
value
is
found
at
the
measuring
point
on
the
river
Kiselica
(1,98
mg/I)
which
is
tSe
tributary
of
the
river
Zietovica which
in
turn
is
the
tributary
of
the
river
Bregalnica,
and
it
carries
waste
waters
from
the
flotation
of
the
sulfide
concentrate
of
the
lead-zinc
ore
from
the
mine
“Zletovo”.
The
above
mentioned contributes
to
the
increase
of
the lead
content
in
water
at
the
rest
of
the
measuring
points along
the
river
Bregalnica,
and
the
average annual
values
vary
from
0,07
mg/I
(r.Bregalnica-Ularci)
to
0,15
mg/I
(r.Bregalnica-Novo
Selo and
r.Bregalnica
Dragoevo)
and
these
are
higher
then
MDK
for
III
and
IV
category
of
water
amounting
to
0,03
mg/I
(Official
register
of
R.Ma:edonia
18/99).
Related
to
measuringpoints,
we
have
the
same
situation
in
the
second
year
of
research
(2000)
compared
to the
previous
year (1999). The measuring
points
Kozja
and
Svinja
Reka
above the
mine
and
the
measuring
point
on
the
river
Osojnica
are
characterized
both
with
relatively
low
average
annual
values
and
relatively
low content
of
lead
in
water
in
the

Article
Various parameters of drug metabolism were measured in rats following a single intraperitoneal injection of cadmium acetate dihydrate (2.0 mg/kg; 7.5 μmoles/kg). Three days after treatment with Cd2+, the hexobarbital-induced sleeping time was increased to 240% of control; the microsomal contents of cytochromes P-450 and b5 were decreased by 44% and 27%, respectively. Seven days after treatment, the contents of cytochromes P-450 and b5 had partially returned to normal but each was 15-20% below control levels. Aminopyrine demethylase activity in hepatic microsomes was decreased by 47% and 37% at 3 and 7 days, respectively, after treatment with Cd2+; aniline hydroxylase was decreased by 32% and 23% at 3 and 7 days, respectively. Cadmium, given 3 days prior to injection of [3H]δ-aminolevulinic acid, decreased the half-life of the heme in CO-binding particles (microsomes devoid of cytochrome b5) from 8 hr to less than 2.5 hr in the fast-phase component, and from 60 hr to 32 hr in the slow phase component. The greatest increase in microsomal heme oxygenase (to 350% of control) occurred 36-48 hr after treatment with Cd2+, and the enzymatic activity returned essentially to normal at 7 days. The activity of biliverdin reductase of the cytosol was not altered 3 or 7 days after treatment with Cd2+.
Article
Toxic substances in the environment can be categorized as naturally occurring toxic elements and compounds and toxic compounds that are synthesized industrially. In this article, some of the chemical and biochemical transformations of toxic elements in the environment are described, with particular emphasis being placed on the role played by microorganisms. The author also shows that the present knowledge of biological cycles of toxic elements enables one to predict the behavior of other toxic elements in the environment. Discussed are microbial interconversions of toxic elements, heavy metals, and the metalloids.
