AB  - • Introduction and scope
The use of hazardous chemicals during laboratory analyses, experiments, and research leads to the
generation of hazardous waste [1]. Proper primary sorting of this waste can be challenging due to the
necessity of preventing unwanted interactions and the formation of even more hazardous secondary
substances [2]. The aim of this study is to provide insight into the management of hazardous chemical
waste in Serbian laboratories.
• Methodology
A preliminary survey conducted in August 2023 with chemists and physical chemists (n=11) employed
in different laboratories in Serbia was based on two fundamental questions: (1) How do you sort
hazardous chemical waste, and (2) Do you believe it is necessary to have additional education and
training on this issue?
• Results
The survey results are as follows: 73% of participants primarily sort liquid hazardous chemical waste
into three categories: inorganic, halogenated organic, and non-halogenated organic waste. In addition,
100% of respondents consider it would be necessary to have additional education on laboratory
hazardous chemical waste and its primary categorization since it is a part of their daily work.
• Conclusion
From presented results and after studying the existing Serbian legal regulations in the field of hazardous
waste management [3] [4], a lack of clear and unambiguous protocols defining precise methods for the
primary sorting of laboratory hazardous chemical waste can be observed. In the context of future
studies, a more in-depth exploration of this subject is warranted, with a particular emphasis on offering
recommendations for the enhancement of the legal framework within this domain [5]

AB  - • Introduction and objective
Creosote is used as wood preservative all over the world. Over 1500 different chemical compounds are
present in creosote [1]. Most of these molecules have render toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects.
Impregnated wood, as construction material for bridges, railroad ties, utility poles, have an
environmental impact through the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenolic compounds, N-
, O- and S- heterocycles emissions [2]. The aim of this review is to draw attention on waste management
of creosote impregnated wood.
• Review and results
PAHs constitutes approximately 85 % of creosote content. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in 1976. made up a list of 16 PAHs to estimate risks to human health from drinking water [3].
Those 16 “priority PAHs” represent only 15 % from all of those present in creosote [4]. EU directives
75/442/EEC, 91/156/EEC, and 94/67/EEC, order that any waste that exceeds the critical creosote limit
should be regarded as hazardous [4]. PAHs content over 100 mg/kgdm in solid waste classified that
waste as hazardous, according to Law on Waste Management in Serbia (Regulation on categories,
examination and classification of waste, Official Gazette of RS, No. 56/2010) [5].
• Conclusion
Can we and should we underestimate phenolic compounds and N-, O- and S- heterocycles which are
also present in creosote impregnated wood among PAHs? Toxicological effects and environmental
impact of every single compound in creosote composition are not known. Into addition to over 1500
chemicals following PAHs in creosote, each ones waste creosote impregnated wood should be regarded
as hazardous.

AB  - In contemporary society, environmental pollution and hazardous chemical waste are pressing
concerns. This study investigates reporting trends related to environmental pollution and
hazardous chemical waste in twelve scientific journals and daily newspapers. Notably, we
found that the year 2013 marked a significant peak with the highest number of articles on these
topics. Understanding the publishing and reporting trends of these subjects is pivotal for
informed public education and underscores the significant influence of scientific research in
shaping media reporting. As the global community faces increasing environmental challenges,
accurate and scientific-based reporting is essential for fostering public awareness and
facilitating effective solutions.
