Summary: The surrounding of the village Oštarije, covered by forests
and arable lands and provided as a touristic, hunting and recreation resort
and healt-food production area, was stroked by an intentional blusting of
the ammunition stockpile during retreat of the Yugoslav army. The
disastrous explosion of 6000 tonns of the ammunition made a severe impact
on the rural environment on the surface of 50 km2. The investigation
revealed: heavy metal contamination in soil and biota at the moment of
explosion and two years later. The determination was done on Hg, Cd, Cr,
Mn, Ni and Pb and reached the averages in the acutely contamionated area of
Zagreb city.

Summary: The disastrous explosion of 6000 tonnes of ammunition
produced a severe pollution impact on the rural enviornment within 50 km2.
A reconnaissance survey revealed heavy metal contamination of soil and
biota, reaching ten times of the background values at the explosion site.
The pourpose of the investigation is to determine a possible growndwater
pollution hazard due to heavy metal remobilization from soils at the
polluted area. Soil samples (37) were analyzed to determine amount and
distribution of bioavailable and exchangeable metallic ion fractions by 1M
ammonium acetate extraction. The experiments using NH4Ac leachates suggest
that major parts of the pollutants is present as metallic particulate
matter, or as wheathering resistant oxides. Mobilization of the metals
depends greatly upon the local karst hydrography, as leaching of the
contaminated soil is likely to occur through flooding of the karst polje.

Summary: The Idrija ore deposit, with its huge metal load exceeding
a few 100,00 tonnes of mercury is a worldwide phenomenon. A semi-millenium
of mining and processing of the ore in Idrija induced severe contamination
of all natural compartments: soils, soil air, air and stream sediments with
the exception of spring-and stream-waters. Mercury level in soils and
stream sediments exceeds MAC values greatly and will be a metter of concern
for many years. Whilst the air pollution will ferminate with the closure of
operation. The water media is not endogered due to the protective nature of
well buffered karstic waters which controls the release of mercury
pollutants from the sediments by their high alkalinity.

Summary: The soil geochemical mapping of Zagreb urban and rural area
covered 748 km2 with 420 samples, taken on the regular grid concerning the
analysis of variance design. The topsoil samples were analyzed on Hg, Pb,
Cr, Ni, Mn, Zn, Cu and Cd by FAAS and AAS after digestionwith aqua regia.
The obtained data were statistically elaborated (basic statistics, factor
analysis, cluster analysis) and the geochemical maps of the Zagreb city
constructed by Kriging technique. The analysis of variance has shown that
the urban part has significantly augmented background with several
outstanding outliers for heavy metals. Unusual hg-pollution along the Sava
river terraces has been determined as well.

Summary: The paper presents results of investigations of stone
samples from the Vinkuran quarry, the ancient "Cava Romana", in the
vicinity of Pula, Istria. The samples are compared with the stone from the
external curved wall of the Arena in Pula. It has been established that the
external curved wall of the Arena has been built entirely of stone blocks
originating from Vinkuran quarry. The stone has been petrographically
determined as coquina limestone, coquinite and microcoquinite, known in the
market as "fiorito" or "travertino", and "unito" or "statuario". A detailed
description is given of the ancient and present quarries.

Summary: The paper presents data on quantity of sulphate, chloride
and metals in stone samples from the Vinkuran quarry and stone blocks from
the external curved wall of the Arena in Pula. It has been established that
the stone from Vinkuran quarry contain significant content of primary
soluble salts (sulphates and chlorides) and parts of metals. A considerable
increase in concentration of sulphates (to 92 times), as well as chlorides
and metals, particularly lead (to 36 times), has been noticed in the
surface layer of the stone from the external curved wall of the Arena.

Summary: In the last few years pollution monitoring of aquatic,
soil and atmospheric environments of Zagreb has become a major subject of
geochemical research. Detailed studies of heavy metal pollution in wider
area of Zagreb are currently performed. As a test for analytics and range
of concentrations, preliminary investigation along two, approximately
perpendicular traverses over urban and industrial areas of Zagreb were
executed and compared with data obtained from soil samples of rural and
afforested areas surrounding Zagreb. Mercury was analysed by a modified
flameless atomic absorption method combined with pyrolysis, while content
of lead, zinc and nickel was measured by standard AAS techniques after acid
digestion. Severe anthropogenic influence was observed in the case of lead
for which in urban areas seven times higher content (224 ppm) than the
average background values (33 ppm) in rural areas was encountered. Zinc is
almost three times augmented from an average background level of 66 ppm to
180 ppm in urban areas. Mercury content is doubled (121 ppb) in comparison
to the background values (52 ppb), while nickel shows only slight influence
of anthropogenic pollution and only a 20 per cent increase over the
background level (from 26 ppm to 32 ppm). The obtained data confirm that
Zagreb encounters pollution problems.

Summary: The paper presents a survey of the possible origins of the
strain and deformation of stone. A range of origins which can be influenced
is suggested, from those occurring under natural conditions in the deposit
to those resulting from technology supplied in quarrying, stone processing
and dressing, including environment with natural and technogenic factors.
No new information can be given on the behavior of the stone processed and
used in building according to the most recent technologies, because the
time-span of its exposure to the influence of natural and technogenic
factors has been too short.

Summary: The evaluation of the heavy metal discharge from liming
materials into the arable soil in NW Croatia is based upon the contents of
Fe, Mn, Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd, Co and Hg in the studied carbonate raw materials,
obtained under simulated conditions of the lowest presumed activity (pH>3)
which can occure in the agroecological environment. From the agroecological
view point, the heavy metal contents of the analized liming materials are
much lower than the permissible levels. Only cadmium contents indicate that
a certain amount of care should be taken into account. Because cadmium is
bound in labile forms (pH>3 soluble fraction) it has to be considered quite
mobile and biologically available in limed arable soils that are affected
by drastic pH changes in the agroecological environment.

Summary: Dimension stone deposits are described in the conception of
mobilistic view of the structure of the Dinarides, regarding the
stratigraphic units, especialy in the coast region. The regions of Istria
and Dalmatia belong to the Adriatic carbonate platform or Adriaticum. The
dimension stone in Istria are situated in the limestones of Upper Jurassic,
of Lower and Upper Cretaceous. In the region of Dalmatia the greatest
spreading enclose limestones of the Upper Cretaceous age. In the
continental part different varieties of limestones were exploited, the
limestone conglomerates of Paleogene age and the limestone of Paleogene
age.
Regarding the dimension stone exploitation the island of Brač takes a
significanmt place, being famous of "the marble of Brač", limestone of
Upper Cretaceous age. Numerous old quarries cover the small island of
Vrnik. The image of our Mediterranean in our urban building belongs to
autochtonous limestone. However, nowdays, some of the towns in the
Mediterranean loose that image using in building alochtonous granite
instead of limestone.

Meeting: From sample to data and information
Held: from 10/20/93 to 10/23/95
Summary: To determine the natural compositional trends and to enable
further extension of the exploration activity on the basis of preliminary
results it is necessary to select the best fitting sample design. Since
unbalanced hierarchical sampling designs have been recommended and most
widely used in soil geochemistry studies, a five-level sampling design has
been chosen for this study. The highest level distinguishes variances among
samples from Zagreb urban area (sensu stricto) and its surroundings (wide
area of Zagreb), the next level enables the determination of variance
between samples in rregular grid 1x1 km (Zagreb urban area) and 2x2 km
(wider area). Furthermore, variances of samples on 100 m and 10 m from the
main grid samples were determined at random grid points and chosen
directions (i.e. north, south, east or west from the main point). The fifth
level reflects an effect and size of analytical error and is determined by
replicated sampling on the selected sites at random.

Summary: Investigation area comprises 34x22 km. Total humber of soil
samples is 350 taken from 0-15 cm depth. Sampling is done by unbalanced
hierarchical scheme enabling variance analysis. Air-dried and sieved soil
samples (fraction <0.16 mm) were digested by aqua regia and analyzed by
AAS, Cd is measured by FAAS (Graphite kuevette) and Hg by pyrolisis and
Au-wire amalgamation. Statistical analysis and map construction ("Zapatone"
technique) clearly point out anthropogenic influence on Hg, Pb and Zn
distribution, while Cr, Ni and Mn pollution is still not proved.

Summary: The GEPI Project is one of the first main projects
implemented by COGEOENVIRONMENT. It aims to make inventory of the major
geoenvironmental problems and the geo-information in the investigated
countries. As a pilot project, the Central and Eastern European Countries
were chosen because of their substantial geo-environmental problems and
their need to solve or mitigates these problems. It includes earthquakes,
mass movements, flooding, erosion, sedimentation, land subsidance, land
deterioration, problem siols, soil contamination, resource depletion, water
pollution, miscelanceous geoproblems.
Keywords: Geoenvironmental problems, soil contamination, land deterioration, land subsidance, landslides, resource depletion, water pollution etc.

Summary: Geochemical mapping of the Zagreb soil revealed mercury
augmentation in the soil and sediments of the Sava river banks and
terraces. It is supported by statistical analysis, analysis of variance,
cluster analysis and factor analysis. The cause of the pollution in still
unknown and should be investigated by further detailed study of Hg
distribution within the sediment itself.

Held: from 11/23/94 to 11/25/95
Summary: Investigation of the solid waste disposal of the town of
Pula is explored by geological, geophysical and geochemical methods. Water
from the disposal was analysed on macro and trace componenets, temperature,
pH, conductance, dissolved oxygen, fenols, hydrocarbons, anion detergents,
etc. Great deal of the disposal leachate water is evaporated and stays
within the disposal itself. The risk of groundwater pollution on the
surroundding wells used for agricultural activity is low.

Summary: The research "Tracing karstic waters by uranium isotopes"
in Dinaride region is the first investigation of natural radioactive
characteristics of underground karst waters in Croatia and Slovenia.
Uranium is present in all underground waters in concentration, easily
measurable by alpha spectrometry. Its two valence nature in combination
with water-aquifer interaction results in wide concentration dispersion,
and isotopic ratio of U234 and U238. Such variations of natural uranium in
ground waters can be used as natural tracers to study flow systems in
karstic regions and to deduce the underground flow patterns.
