The metals, including Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, and As, were measured in the period from 2013 to 2019. The Spearman correlation and heatmap cluster analysis were utilized to determine the origin of pollution and the factors that control surface water quality. Several indices, such as the heavy metal pollution index (HPI), metal index (MI), hazard quotient oral and dermal (HQ), hazard index oral and dermal (HI), and carcinogenic risk (CR), were conducted to evaluate the potential risks for the environment and human health. The values of the HPI were between the range of 15 < HPI < 30, which indicated moderate pollution; however, the MI results showed high pollution in Dunaföldvár and Hercegszántó cities. The ecological risk (RI < 30) and HI values (< 1) showed low environmental risks and non-carcinogenic impacts of the existing metals, either on adults or children. The mean CR value of oral arsenic was 2.2E−04 and 2.5E−04 during April–September and October–March, respectively, indicating that children were the most vulnerable to arsenic-carcinogenic oral effects. While lead’s CR oral values for children during April–September exceeded the threshold of 1.0E−04, chromium’s oral and dermal CR values for both adults and children were 2.08E−04, 6.11E−04, 1.97E−04, and 5.82E−04 during April–September and October–March, respectively. These results demonstrate the potential carcinogenic risks related to chromium exposure within the two pathways in Hungary and highlight the need for effective measures to mitigate these risks.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1573-2983}, pages = {9757-9784}, orcid-numbers = {Székács, András/0000-0001-5816-3775; Mörtl, Mária/0000-0002-2948-9263} } @article{MTMT:33728525, title = {ASSESSMENT OF RIVER SEDIMENT QUALITY ACCORDING TO THE EU WATER FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE IN LARGE RIVER FLUVIAL CONDITIONS.

The sediment samples were analyzed for selected hazardous substances (HSs): 8 metals, 8 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 6 pesticides in an accredited laboratory selected as reference laboratory, as well as in national laboratories. Risk ratios were computed in order to compare the results to the Environmental Quality Standards listed in the European Directives, to the national threshold values in the Danube Basin, and to other available international European and American quality standards, and the risk ratios were classified as background, alert and intervention values for readily evaluation. Results show widespread metal(oid) (As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn) contamination in the Danube Basin, most often associated with historic mining. Concentration values of Ni and Cr exceeding the thresholds are caused by the geological background (ultrabasic and metamorphic rocks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Serbia and Romania). Concentration values higher than the thresholds for some of the PAHs (e.g. Fluoranthene) and sometimes for Total PAHs were also noted almost in every countries, caused by industrial activities, wastewater discharges or navigation on the Danube River.

The increase of pollution in the Danube Basin requires the implementation of systematic monitoring and evaluation of the sediments quality as dictated by the EU Water Framework Directive. For this system development, applicable in mountainous conditions, the Upper Tisa region in the northwest part of Romania on the border with Ukraine, Hungary and Slovakia was selected as a test area. Sampling of overbank (floodplain) sediment, river bottom sediment and suspended sediment was carried out at 10 locations in the test area in order to analyze the concentration and distribution of eight metal(oid)s (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Hg, Ni, Cr and As), in addition to 3 organic components (anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(e)pyrene) as hazardous substances (HSs). The sediment quality assessment was carried out according to the 2013/39/EU Directive and EU Water Framework Directive standards. Most of the analyzed HS concentrations in river bottom sediment and overbank (floodplain) sediments fall within the limits of environmental quality standards (EQS). As, Cu, Pb, and Zn tend to exceed the EQS at some locations. The highest exceedances were recorded for Pb, for which contents of up to 987 mg/kg were detected. The highest contents were found in the overbank sediments sampled, and the lowest in river bottom sediments, which may indicate historical pollution. Mercury contents in overbank sediment samples exceed all standards, while cadmium content is below the international standards. Anthracene, fluoranthene and benzo(e)pyrene concentrations in overbank and bottom sediments comply with international standards. A few samples in suspended sediments slightly exceed the lowest environmental standard value (i.e., Romanian normal value). HS concentrations remain low in the suspended sediments showing that it is not the main transport route for pollution in this area. HS contents decrease gradually from upstream to downstream due to dilution along the river course. In the last testing point at Someș Aciua, the concentration of metal(oid)s measured in the sediments remain below the EQS limit values, thus there is no risk of transboundary pollution. The main source of metal(oid) contamination is historic base-metal ore mining and the associated mine waste sites in the Baia Mare and other mining areas scattered around the whole region. The main source of the studied organic compounds is the incomplete or low-temperature coal combustion processes that occur in households in rural areas}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1844-489X}, pages = {441-458}, orcid-numbers = {Mörtl, Mária/0000-0002-2948-9263; Székács, András/0000-0001-5816-3775} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:33091890, title = {Ártéri üledékek és talajok toxikus elem szennyezettségének biomonitoring vizsgálata a Dráva folyó árterén}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33091890}, author = {Kocsis, Tamás and Szabó, Péter and Posta, Katalin and Jordán, Győző}, booktitle = {Talajtani Vándorgyűlés : absztraktfüzet}, unique-id = {33091890}, year = {2022}, pages = {6-7}, orcid-numbers = {Posta, Katalin/0000-0003-2790-1741} } @article{MTMT:33039262, title = {Biomonitoring and assessment of toxic element contamination in floodplain sediments and soils using fluorescein diacetate (FDA) enzymatic activity measurements: evaluation of possibilities and limitations through the case study of the Drava River floodplain}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33039262}, author = {Szabó, Péter and Jordán, Győző and Kocsis, Tamás and Posta, Katalin and Kardos, Levente and Šajn, Robert and Alijagić, Jasminka}, doi = {10.1007/s10661-022-10301-7}, journal-iso = {ENVIRON MONIT ASSESS}, journal = {ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT}, volume = {194}, unique-id = {33039262}, issn = {0167-6369}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1573-2959}, orcid-numbers = {Posta, Katalin/0000-0003-2790-1741} }
