AB  - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of anthropogenic organofluoride chemicals, widespread in industrial and consumer applications, well known for their unique and advantageous properties, such as their surface activity, thermal and chemical stability. However, the combination of their extensive use, bioaccumulative nature and adverse effects to the environment and human health has put them in the focus of scientific research as well as  regulators with the aim to develop suitable remediation measures for polluted locations.PFAS resistance to degradation is attributed to the C-F bond. Despite being commonly cited as the strongest bond, the strength of C-F bonds in PFAS molecules varies significantly. PFAS structures, analyzed using density functional theory, reveal higher bond dissociation energies for primary C-F bonds than secondary ones, with longer fluoroalkyl chains exhibiting lower dissociation energies.This work aims to provide an overview on the current state of art of the most effective PFAS soil bioremediation strategies employed until now.

AB  - In this study, eight different Ti and Al based catalyst were employed for the investigation of photocatalytic PFOS degradation. The maximum PFOS concentration used was 50 ppm. The experiments were conducted at 20 °C in an open cylindrical polypropylene reactor, and a simulated solar radiation lamp (Solimed BH Quarzlampen) was used as a light source. Photocatalysis was monitored up to 8 hours. The range of degradation was 50-78%. Analysis of degradation products indicated that the dominant method of transformation is oxidation. Additionaly, ecotoxicity to Allivibrio fischeri of both PFOS and photocatalytic degradation products was assessed. The obtained results confirmed the possibility of remediation of PFOS and related compounds in aquatic environment.

AB  - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of chemicals that are widely used due to their hydrophobic and lipophilic properties, which make them resistant to water, oil and heat. These substances have been used in the production of various products such as Teflon coatings, waterproof textile materials, fire extinguishing agents, and many others. However, due to their persistence and ability to accumulate in animals and the environment, PFAS have become a concern for the environment and human health. PFAS get into waste water through direct emission as a consequence of production and industrial processes or subsequently, through the use of products containing these harmful chemicals, as well as their careless disposal. After reaching wastewater, PFAS can spread and contaminate water systems, which can endanger the health of humans and animals that consume that water. Due to growing concern about the potential harmful effects of PFAS, many countries have begun to introduce strict regulation and control measures to reduce exposure to these substances and limit their spread in the environment. With reference to the problems we face when detecting this group of compounds in wastewater, as well as during the remediation itself, PFAS removal methods from waste water are described.

AB  - The aim of this paper is to provide insight into research and activities of in situ remediation to remove petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants from a contaminated aquifer’s sediment, located near two radial collector wells of a water supply system. It was decided that the most appropriate method for remediation of this aquifer’s sediment is in situ bioremediation because it is clean, efficient and sustainable technology. Before the start of the bioremediation process, it was necessary to isolate and cultivate the microorganisms present at the contamination site, so they could be later applied in the bioremediation process. The samples before and after the bioremediation were studied using both GC and GC × GC–MS to determine how the concentrations of contaminants changed over time. Additionally, in this paper, a spatiotemporal representation of the change in hydrocarbon content by depth within the zone of the highest contamination over time is shown. After 12 months of bioremediation, the hydrocarbon content in the samples decreased by 82.0%, and based on GCxGC-MS analysis, the order of degradation of various hydrocarbon groups was as follows: steranes (99.6%), isoprenoids (98.4%), benzene derivatives (98.4%), alkanes (97.2%), and terpenes (49.3%). The exponential decay model showed the greatest decomposition rate of hydrocarbons occurred at depths of 8–10 m, with an average decay constant of 0.227, independent of the initial concentration of hydrocarbons. To the best of our knowledge, to date, the described approach has not been applied to an aquifer (the simultaneous treatment of groundwater and its associated sediment layers).

AB  - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products due to their unique properties, such as oil and water repellency, thermal stability, and durability. However, the persistence and mobility of these chemicals in the environment have raised concerns about their potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. PFAS have been detected on a global scale in various environmental media, such as soil, water, air, and biota. As a country undergoing economic development and transition, Serbia faces the challenge of managing and addressing the PFAS contamination in its environment. This challenge requires a comprehensive and science-based strategy that can effectively reduce the exposure and risks of PFAS to human health and the environment. This document aims to provide a scientific strategy for solving the PFAS challenge in Serbia. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that PFAS are persistent and bioaccumulative in the environment, which means that they do not break down easily and can accumulate in the food chain, posing a long-term risk to human health and the environment. Therefore, a precautionary approach is necessary to minimize the exposure and risks of PFAS. International experience and cooperation are very important for developing an effective scientifc strategy for addressing the PFAS challenge in Serbia. PFAS are a global issue, and many countries have already implemented measures to manage and reduce the exposure and risks of PFAS. Therefore, it is important to draw on international experience and best practices when developing the strategy for Serbia. International experience can provide valuable insights into the sources, pathways, and fate of PFAS, as well as the e"ectiveness of various risk management measures. For example, the United States, Canada, and some European countries have established regulatory frameworks for PFAS, which can serve as a model for Serbia. Other countries have implemented remediation measures for contaminated sites, which can provide valuable insights for selecting appropriate remediation technologies in Serbia. Moreover, international experience can provide access to the latest scientific knowledge, methods, and technologies for assessing and managing PFAS contamination. For example, international organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have developed guidance documents and tools for assessing and managing PFAS contamination. The scientific strategy for solving the PFAS challenge in Serbia is based on a thorough understanding of the sources, pathways, and fate of PFAS in the environment. It is also based on a comprehensive and systematic approach, including risk assessment, monitoring, regulation, remediation, and communication. This strategy is tailored to the specific context and needs of Serbia. It is based on the latest scientifc knowledge and practical experience from other countries and regions, focusing on the European Union, USA, China and Japan. The cultural, social, economic, and political factors can affect the implementation and effectiveness of the strategy, and therefore, the strategy is developed through a collaborative and participatory process involving stakeholders from different sectors and levels. The international experience provided helpful guidance and lessons learned, but ultimately, the strategy is based on local knowledge, priorities, and capacities. By implementing this strategy, we aim to contribute to that Serbia can protect its citizens and environment from the potential harm of PFAS and achieve sustainable development.

The cultural, social, economic, and political factors can affect the implementation and effectiveness of the strategy, and therefore, the strategy is developed through a collaborative and participatory process involving stakeholders from different sectors and levels. The international experience provided helpful guidance and lessons learned, but ultimately, the strategy is based on local knowledge, priorities, and capacities. By implementing this strategy, we aim to contribute to that Serbia can protect its citizens and environment from the potential harm of PFAS and achieve sustainable development.",

AB  - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals with extremely strong C-F bonds. Due to their thermal stability, acid resistance, and high surface activity, they have been widely used for several decades in various consumer products. PFAS has been detected in water, soil, sediment, air, food, and biota samples on all continents and due to this are recognized as environmental and human health risk (Carlson et al. 2022). In the last decade, several available technologies were tested for the remediation of PFAS-polluted environments, such as adsorption, filtration, thermal destruction, oxidation/reduction, and soil washing, but several disadvantages were reported (Bolan et al., 2021). We hypothesize that by using advanced oxidation techniques followed by microbial treatment decrease in the concentration of PFOA as a PFAS model compound will occur. In the beginning, we tested separately abiotic and biotic degradation of PFOA. Target LC-MS/MS was used for quantitative analysis of PFOA decrease, and for detecting degradation products, nontargeted LC-MS/MS analysis was used.  In the photocatalysis study, we used selected Ti and Al-based photocatalysts. The experiments were conducted at 20 °C in an open cylindrical polypropylene reactor, and a simulated solar radiation lamp (Solimed BH Quarzlampen) was used as a light source. Microbial communities were isolated from the locations in Serbia, Japan, and Italy known for their pollution with PFAS, and enrichment was conducted on the media supplemented with ppm values of PFOA (Beskoski et al., 2018). Microbial communities were used as inoculum in the PFOA biodegradation study.

AB  - Polyurethanes (PUs) are an exceedingly heterogeneous group of plastic polymers, widely used in a variety of industries from construction to medical implants. In the past decades, we have witnessed the accumulation of PU waste and its detrimental environmental impacts. PUs have been identified as one of the most toxic polymers leaching hazardous compounds derived both from the polymer itself and the additives used in production. Further environmental impact assessment, identification and characterization of substances derived from PU materials and establishing efficient degradation strategies are crucial. Thus, a selection of eight synthetic model compounds which represent partial PU hydrolysis products were synthesized and characterized both in terms of toxicity and suitability to be used as substrates for the identification of novel biocatalysts for PU biodegradation. Overall, the compounds exhibited low in vitro cytotoxicity against a healthy human fibroblast cell line and virtually no toxic effect on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans up to 500 µg mL−1, and two of the substrates showed moderate aquatic ecotoxicity with EC50 values 53 µg mL−1 and 45 µg mL−1, respectively, on Aliivibrio fischeri. The compounds were successfully applied to study the mechanism of ester and urethane bond cleaving preference of known plastic-degrading enzymes and were used to single out a novel PU-degrading biocatalyst, Amycolatopsis mediterranei ISP5501, among 220 microbial strains. A. mediterranei ISP5501 can also degrade commercially available polyether and polyester PU materials, reducing the average molecular number of the polymer up to 13.5%. This study uncovered a biocatalyst capable of degrading different types of PUs and identified potential enzymes responsible as a key step in developing biotechnological process for PU waste treatment options.

čovek u svojim laboratorijama. Ideja vodilja sredinom dvadesetog veka je bila kreirati
jedinjenja kvalitetnih osobina koja će dugo imati upotrebnu vrednost a samim tim i dugo
trajati. Neka od tih jedinjenja su danas prepoznata i kao „večne hemikalije”. Per- i
polifluorovana jedinjenja (PFAS) su grupa sintetičkih hemijskih jedinjenja koja poseduju C-
F, najjaču kovalentnu vezu. Zbog hemijske strukture koja im omogućava stabilnost na
povišenim temperaturama, otpornost na niske pH vrednosti kao i visoku površinsku
aktivnost, ova jedinjenja su u vidu različitih formulacija već nekoliko decenija našla široku
primenu u brojnim potrošačkim proizvodima. Međutim, PFAS su poslednje dve decenije
otkriveni u vodi, zemljištu, sedimentu, vazduhu, hrani i uzorcima biote na svim
kontinentima, što prepoznato kao rizik za životnu sredinu i zdravlje ljudi. Zbog ovoga su
u poslednjoj deceniji intenzivno testirane postojeće tehnologije za sanaciju i remedijaciju
poput adsorpcije, filtracije, termalne destrukcije, oksidacije/redukcije kao i pranje zemljišta.
Ipak, opisani su i brojni nedostaci ovih tehnologija.

AB  - Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are lipophilic, constant and bioaccumulative toxic compounds. In general, they are considered resistant to biological, photolytic, and chemical degradation with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) belonging to these chemicals. PCBs were never produced in Serbia, but they were imported and mainly used in electrical equipment, transformers, and capacitors. Our study aimed to analyse sequential multi-stage aerobic/anaerobic microbial biodegradation of PCBs present in the river sediment from the area known for long-term pollution with these chemicals. The study with an autochthonous natural microbial community (NMC model system) and NMC augmented with allochthonous hydrocarbon-degrading (AHD) microorganisms (isolated from location contaminated with petroleum products) (NMC-AHD model system) was performed in order to estimate the potential of these microorganisms for possible use in future bioremediation treatment of these sites. The laboratory biodegradation study lasted 70 days, after which an overall >33 % reduction in the concentration of total PCBs was observed. This study confirmed the strong potential of the NMC for the reduction of the level of PCBs in the river sediment under alternating multi-stage aerobic/anaerobic conditions.
AB  - Дуготрајне органске загађујуће супстанце (POPs) су липофилна, постојана и биоакумулативна токсична једињења. Уопштено говорећи, сматрају се отпорним на биолошку, фотолитичку и хемијску деградацију, а полихлоровани бифенили (PCBs) спадају у групу ових хемикалија. У Србији се PCBs никада нису производили, али су се увозили и углавном користили у електроопреми, трансформаторима и кондензаторима. Циљнашег истраживања био је да се анализира секвенцијална вишестепена аеробна/анаеробна микробиолошка разградња PCBs присутних у речном седименту са подручја познатог по дуготрајном загађењу овим једињењима. Проучавање активности конзорцијума аутохтоних природно присутних микроорганизама (NMC конзорцијум) и NMC суплементисаних конзорцијумом алохтоних угљоводоник деградирајућих (HD) микроорганизама (изолованих са локација контаминираних нафтним дериватима) (NMC-HD конзорцијум) је изведено како би се проценила способност ових микроорганизама за потренцијалну употребу у будућим биоремедијационим третманима оваквих локалитета. Лабораторијска студија биоразградње је трајала 70 дана, након чега је уочено смањење концентрације укупних PCBs за >33 %. Ово истраживање је потврдило снажан потенцијал аутохтоних микроорганизама за смањење нивоа PCBs у речном седименту у наизменичним вишестепеним аеробним/анаеробним условима.

AB  - The characterization and cleanup of groundwater contamination in hazardous-waste sites are of significant engineering and scientific importance. This study analyzes biodegradation fingerprints in groundwater, 25 years after the accidental leakage of kerosene (jet fuel) at the site in central Serbia. The long-term existence of hydrocarbon contamination and the presence of indigenous microbiological populations capable of biodegradation have been confirmed by the results of GCxGC-MS chromatography and microbiological characterization. Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), geochemical indicators, and other parameters were spatially analyzed to provide insight into biodegradation occurrence. The lowest concentrations of electron acceptors (O2, NO3-, and SO42-) and the highest concentrations of microbial metabolic products (Mn and Fe) overlap in the piezometers closest to the source of contamination, due to the occurrence of different biodegradation mechanisms. Based on the analysis of redox-sensitive compounds, the mixed oxic-anoxic processes in groundwater also correspond to the aforementioned zone, as confirmed by the redox potential (Eh) measurements. The results of cross-study analysis reveal further reduction of hydrocarbon contamination, the occurrence of less anoxic redox processes, and the increase of oxic conditions in groundwater. Overall, the results provide clear evidence of the biodegradation effects in groundwater and insight into their evolution under natural attenuation processes.

AB  - The problem of wastewater has long been ubiquitous and has great consequences for the environment and its inhabitants. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have enormous potential for the treatment of wastewaters polluted with azo dyes. The amount of energy that can be produced from a single-chamber MFC is sufficient to perform decolorization and degradation of such dyes, which are widely used in the textile industry. This study on the azo dye, reactive black 5 (RB5), provides an alternative method through three parallel-connected MFCs to obtain electricity that directly serves for the dye’s electrochemical degradation. We examined degradation followed by decolorization of RB5 using Fe and Pt electrodes, together with H2O2, to achieve the electro-Fenton process. The amount of voltage produced (295 mV), the current density (276 mA m−3) and the power density (50 mW m−3) were sufficient to degrade 25 mg L-1 RB5 dye with 0.5 mM H2O2 in just 2 h. The dye degradation mechanism was investigated using UV–VIS, FT-IR and HPLC-MS/MS. The ecotoxicity of the degradation products was assessed using a bacterial model, Aliivibrio fischeri. These tests showed that there was successful degradation of the dye to products whose toxicity is less than that of RB5.

AB  - This study aimed to determine the qualitative variability of essential oils of mountain germander – Teucrium
montanum L. (Lamiaceae) at the population level, depending on the type of geological substrate. Ten samples of
essential oils originated from aerial plant parts of populations from calcareous and ten from serpentinite were
tested by GCxGC-MS method. The obtained results showed that the serpentinite populations have more than 3
times higher essential oil yield than calcareous populations. Based on the average values for the relative percentage amounts of T. montanum essential oils, it was shown that the sesquiterpenes (34.89%) are the main
compounds in analyzed essential oils. Population from calcareous habitats synthesize twice as many aliphatic
hydrocarbons than populations from serpentinite habitats, while populations from serpentinite habitats synthesize twice as much mono- and sesquiterpenes. The compounds with highest relative percentage amounts in
calcareous populations was the hydrocarbon tetracosane (9.02%), while in serpentinite populations it was
oxygenated sesquiterpene, limonen-10-ol (4.81%). Compounds which were only detected for calcareous populations are: dodecane and isophytol, while for serpentinite populations are: 3-caren-2-ol, carvone oxide and
pyronene. The obtained results indicate a significant influence of the habitat geological substrate on the qualitative characteristics of the T. montanum essential oil. Differentiation of calcareous and serpentinite populations
into two distinct groups based on the essential oil composition indicate the significant presence of specific
chemotypes developed by the influence of various edaphic characteristics.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Pectin is a complex polysaccharide, present in fresh and processed food as an additive, which also serves as an important source of fiber. In this work, the aim was to investigate in-vitro application of apple pectin as a possible antimicrobial, antioxidant and prebiotic agent for growth of bacteria selected from human milk and infant feces, as well as standard strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium bifidum.
METHODS : All the bacteria isolated from the milk of mothers of preterm and term-born infants, bacteria from infant feces and standard strains were tested for fermentation of apple pectin as the main carbohydrate in selective broth media.
RESULTS: An increase in the growth of bacteria Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus, and a consortium of bacteria selected from human milk and infant feces was noticed after pectin fermentation. It was found that pectin has a positive impact on the increase of the antioxidant capacity in all the tested samples. A high correlation was achieved, comparing electrochemical with spectrophotometric methods. Antimicrobial tests showed that pectin and fermentation products have slight or no influence at all on the growth of standard strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.
CONCLUSIONS: The results showed the importance of pectin as an antioxidant and its impact on the development of potential probiotic microbiota in mothers and infants. The study indicated a new potential application of pectin as a supplement in infant food.

AB  - Microwave assisted synthesis of polyaniline modified by pullulan (PANI/Pull) composite wasperformed by aniline oxidation with potassium iodate. The PANI/Pull composite was characterizedusing ATR-FTIR technique. FTIR spectra confirm presence of both components in PANI/Pullcomposite. Antimicrobial evaluation of PANI/Pull material performed by using a qualitative diskdiffusion method on Candida albicans (C. albicans) culture showed very high sensitivity toPANI/Pull composite. Observed FTIR and antifungal activity represent a promising results especiallyfor potential biomedical applications of PANI/Pull composite.

abstract = "Microwave assisted synthesis of polyaniline modified by pullulan (PANI/Pull) composite wasperformed by aniline oxidation with potassium iodate. The PANI/Pull composite was characterizedusing ATR-FTIR technique. FTIR spectra confirm presence of both components in PANI/Pullcomposite. Antimicrobial evaluation of PANI/Pull material performed by using a qualitative diskdiffusion method on Candida albicans (C. albicans) culture showed very high sensitivity toPANI/Pull composite. Observed FTIR and antifungal activity represent a promising results especiallyfor potential biomedical applications of PANI/Pull composite.",
