Summary:
Surface drainage samples, the usual media employed in mapping national
territories, cannot be used for the geochemical mapping of carbonate
terrains because of the absence of a regular surface-drainage pattern on
karst. Suitable sampling media have been studied based on analysis of
variance techniques.
During initial investigations of various sampling materials sediment and
aquatic moss from karst springs, along with soil were established as the
most appropriate media. Modified sampling procedure were then carefully
applied on terrains of contrasting topography, climate, pedology and
vegetation. Regional and local variability was assesed for 21 chemical
elements and the the feasibility of producing stable regional geochemical
maps was determined for a number of elements on the basis of sampling
aquatic moss and sediment from karst springs and soil.
Keywords: Geochemical mapping, carbonate terrains, analysis of variance, sediment, aquatic moss, spring sediment, soil.

Summary: mall rivers with limited number of anthropogenic activities
offer a real-life model for studies of geochemical processes. Trace metals
in the Raša River are prevalently of natural origin (Cr; Ti, Cd) or
anthropogenically superimposed (Cu, Pb, Zn). Most of the heavy metals
accumulate in the upper estuary due to adsorption to clay minerals. Only Zn
concentrations in estuarine sediments indicate its higher mobility and
further transport,

Language: engleski
Summary: Concentration of 24 elements was determined in alluvial
sediments in area threatened by construction and operation of the
pharmaceutical/chemical plant. Elevated concentrations of Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg,
Ni, and Zn, high enrichemnts factors and unusual distribution among soil
mineral fractions were found in downstream creek sediments indicating the
spreading of pollution. However, due to the adsorption of trace metals, the
quality of water exploited is not endangered so far.
