AB  - Particulate matter of diametar <2.5 µm (PM2.5) pollution is recognized as one of primary pollution contaminant which directly affect human health. Toxic and carcinogenic elements originating from different pollution sources can be constituents of PM2.5. Because of their small size, particles can penetrate deeper into the lungs and enter the bloodstream causing different disorders and threats to human health [1]. We performed elemental characterization of PM2.5 samples collected during the spring/summer season 2019 in a suburban part of Belgrade (in the inner courtyard of Institute of Physics Belgrade). The spring/ summer period was characterized by the industrial or different outdoor activities with several Saharan dust episodes. In addition, April and October were partly characterized by heating sources. The quartz filters with PM2.5 were digested by the microwave digestion system using 7 mL 65% HNO3 and 1 mL 30% H2 O2 . The concentrations of Al, B, Ba, Bi, Ca, K, Fe, Mn, Ni, P, S and Sr were measured using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), while concentrations of Ag, As, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Hg, Pb, Se, Sb and Tl were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks for residents and for five different types of workers (outdoor, indoor, composite, construction and excavation workers) in this ambient were assessed by equations provided by The Risk Assessment Information System – RAIS [2]. Comparing the investigated scenarios, the highest non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were observed for the residents. There were observed non-carcinogenic (HI>1) and carcinogenic (R≥1×10-5) risks for the residents from this area. The residents spent the most of their time in this ambient and they are most at the risk caused by the measured PM2.5 pollution (HImedian: 2.28; Rmedian: 1.25 × 10-4). Observing the scenarios for workers, the risk mostly depends on the time that workers spent outside during working hours. Similar non-carcinogenic risks were observed for outdoor, indoor and composite workers, slightly higher risk was observed for construction workers, while the lowest risk was obtained for an excavation worker who is less exposed to the PM2.5 atmospheric deposition than soil dust resuspension. The same was observed for the carcinogenic risk, while the similar risks were observed for all workers. Only for an excavation worker, the carcinogenic risk was significantly lower than for other workers. The most significant contributor to the non-carcinogenic risk in all scenarios was the concentration of Mn, and then the concentration of Be, while the most significant contributor to the carcinogenic risk was Cr6+. Observing the risks among the investigated period the highest non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were observed in April and October based on the toxic and carcinogenic elements in PM2.5. In these months beside the influence of the industrial activities, dust episodes or activity of heating sorces possibly caused the increase of the toxic and carcinogenic elements in PM2.5.

AB  - The elemental composition of plant matrices has been conventionally determined by spectrometric techniques such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) [1]. Wet mineralization (digestion) of samples requires time, equipment, and usage of aggressive and toxic chemicals which are the main drawbacks of those routinely used techniques [2]. The need for suitable analytical methods for direct and multi-elemental analysis of plant samples has been increased in recent years [3]. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) is one of the techniques for direct analysis which has been previously applied in environmental studies, nevertheless it is not a commonly used technique for plant samples. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is another technique with the possibility of performing multi-element analysis directly on solid samples with numerous advantages. Although non-destructive techniques (INAA and XRF) are widely accepted in various fields of screening tests regarding the analytical approach, their performance needs to be evaluated in plant sample analysis. The main aim of this research was to assess how reliable non-destructive techniques are in detecting elements in conifer needles regarding routinely used spectrometric techniques. A total of 49 plant samples of four conifer species (Pinus nigra, Abies alba, Taxus baccata, and Larix decidua) were measured using two routinely used (ICPMS and ICP-OES) and two non-destructive instrumental techniques (WD-XRF and INAA). A quality control program included NIST pine needles certified reference material (1575a) analysis using all examined techniques. The techniques were compared by examination of relative ratio (element concentration measured using investigated analytical techniques divided by concentration determined by ICP-MS (figure 1)) and by correlation. Precision of all examined techniques was additionally investigated. This study confirmed that non-destructive spectroscopic techniques can be successfully applied on plant samples since sample preparation for these techniques is fast and in good accordance with the principles of green chemistry. Investigated standardless XRF method can also produce well-correlated results, compared to other techniques based on calibration standards. Obtained results suggest that the high accuracy of the analysis can be ensured by additional analytical and quality control steps (the use of internal standards, standard addition, etc.).
