Sampling of soil on the location of “Port of Brcko” Ltd. was performed on the date of July 26, 2012.
On the basis of Order No. 48-000709/11 dated July 17, 2012, soil sampling was performed on one
location.
1. ”Port“ Plateau Brcko
Following the sampling, laboratory analysis was performed of the sampled soil in regards to the presence
and concentration of heavy metals, specifically: led (Pb), copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn).

INTRODUCTION
Soil represents a complex natural system in which, under the effect of living organisms and other factors,
inorganic and organic substances are being created and decomposed. In addition to that, soil is, at the
daily rate, exposed to indirect or direct degradation and pollution. In contrast to water and air, this
element of the living environment is relatively static, and therefore the effect of reduction of the pollution
by dilution or purification is smaller, because of which more intensive accumulation of all the substances,
and especially insoluble ones, occurs.
In nature, soil is established slowly, but its process of degradation is fast. Soil utilization results in a
disturbance of the balance between paedo-genetic factors, and, through their activities, humans may
increase the level of natural resistance of soil to various types of its degradation. Soil degradation may be
defined as a set of processes caused by human activity that reduce the current and the future potentials of
soil, as a condition for the survival of all life forms on our planet (Sekulić, Kastori, Hadžić 2003).
In order for the soil to be successfully protected from pollution, it is necessary to be familiar with sources
of pollution, quantities and features of polluting substances, as well as their harmful effects. The number
and the type of environment pollutants, and therefore soil pollutants, also, are unlimited, as they are
continuously changing and supplementing depending on the method of utilization of natural resources,
applied technologies, urbanization, transport etc. (Kastori, 1993, 1997)
Heavy metals are found in soil in its natural state, in certain concentrations, and they originate from the
native rock, i.e. substrate, on which the soil had onset. Heavy metals that are not of geo-chemical, but
instead of anthropogenic origin, are often found in surface horizons of soil, as they arrive in the soil as a
consequence of various human activities (industry, fossil fuels combustion, application of agricultural
chemicals, atmospheric disposition…)
In addition to those inorganic polluting substances in soil, numerous organic polluting substances are also
often present, and because of their low bio-degradability they are referred to as persistent (persistent
organic pollutants, so-called POPs), and they include polycyclic aromatic carbohydrates (PAH), poly-
chlorate biphenyls (PCB) and remains of pesticides and their metabolites.
Urban land is, in contrast to rural, often more exposed to anthropogenic effects due to higher density of
population, traffic intensity, vicinity of industry etc. Long-term intake of polluting substances in soil may
lead to a reduction of its buffering capacities, which may result, as a consequence, in long-term
contamination of soil and subterranean water.
These days there is rapidly growing awareness amongst the people that polluting substances, such as
heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants found in soil may have serious consequences on human
health. Heavy metals that accumulate in human organism may cause poisoning, may threaten the
functioning of the central nervous system and cause a whole set of other severe disturbances.
The industry is contaminating the soil directly with toxic polluting substances, and indirectly, through the
sedimentation of pollutants (wet and dry sedimentation) from air. Aero-polluting emissions sooner or
later, in a changed or unchanged form, fall on the ground.
Chemical pollution is a consequence of introducing chemicals in production processes, electricity
generation, and discharge of technological waste. Polluting substances do not only contaminate the soil,
but penetrate deeper into the layers and pollute subterranean waters. Plants absorb them from soil and
therefore they enter into food chains of various consumers, including humans. Decrease of pH values
(under the influence of acid rains) initiates other changes in soil that have negative consequences. One of
the evident consequences of acid rains is the reduction of pH values of soil. Measurements of pH values
in samples of atmospheric precipitation show that rains have a multiple level of acidity above industrial
regions compared with rural areas. Heavy metals are for the most part retained in the surface, organic
layer that is of extreme significance for the productivity of the eco-system. The degree of toxicity of
heavy metals in soil depends on a number of factors: acidity, quantity and characteristics of organic
10
substances in regards to capacity to complex metals with clay and other inorganic materials with which
they may interact. In the conditions of soil pollution with heavy metals, parameters of significance for
growth, population density, metabolic efficiency, change, with results in delays in biological
transformations.
METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS
Land sampling was performed with equipment for sampling produced by ''Eijkelkamp Agrisearch
Equipment'', Netherlands – Sampler with Separable Pipe.
The location of sampling was:
Sample 1 “Port” Plateau Brcko
Concentrations of heavy metals – led, copper and zinc were analyzed on the basis of the following
standard / method: BAS ISO 11466 i 11047.
Figure 1. Equipment for Soil Sampling
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ANALYZED PARAMETERS
Heavy metals are present in small quantities in plant and animal organisms (as trace elements), where
they serve important functions. Those metals, extremely toxic, and even leathal, are especially dangerous
for life forms, they represent carcinogens and, in contrast to organic substances that get degraded with
time, they, in practice, circle in nature forever. They affect mineral nutrition, water regimes,
photosynthesis, breathing, i.e. all the physiological and biochemical processes in plants.
As a result of those changes, anatomic and morphological changes occur and a reduction in the
production and a change in the chemical composition of plants occur. The following heavy metals appear
in the atmosphere: cadmium, copper, arsenic, led and zinc. They are transferred to other mediums of the
environment through the atmosphere.
11
Led (Pb) is a grey-blue colored metal, which appears in nature in the form of compounds – sulfates,
sulfides and carbonates. Soil contamination with Pb is of anthropogenic origin and the main sources are
the following: mines and smelters, application of waste sludge, exhaust smoke from vehicles and led-
arsenate that is applied in orchards to eradicate inspects. It is considered to be one of the main
environment pollutants. Led, in general, pollutes soil on all the surfaces, apart from areas at a distance
from settlements and traffic routes. Fortunately, its solubility, mobility and accessibility for
microorganisms and plants are at a very low level. However, there is excess led in many living
environments, so that there are potential risks for health, especially in the vicinity of large led based
industries and large cities. The most significant polluter of the environment with led are the motor
vehicles. Accumulation of led in plants in the vicinity of highways depends on numerous factors, such as
the distance of plants from traffic routes, coverage of soil with a plant cover, the length of the vegetation
period, and the direction and intensity of wind.
Copper (Cu) is a red colored element with brad application in industries. In nature, it is most frequently
found in the form of compounds – sulfides, carbonates and oxides. Copper ores frequently contain
significant quantities of gold and silver. In small concentrations it is essential, necessary for normal
development and growth of plants. It has a very important function in plant metabolism, but it is
extremely toxic when found in large quantities in tissues. Soluble copper salts have an irritating effect on
skin and mucous membranes. If swallowed, they cause nausea and vomiting. In high concentrations,
copper causes liver damage and anemia.
Copper in soil originates from native substrate and anthropogenic sources. Apart from the native
substrate, high concentrations of Cu arrive into the surface horizon of the soil from metal smelters,
application of fertilizers based on copper, waste sludge, fungicides and bactericides, swine and poultry
manure.
Fever follows latency starting from 4 to 8 hours from exposure.
Zinc (Zn) – the total content of zinc in the soil largely depends on the native substrate. The average zinc
content amounts to around 40 mg/kg in acid rocks, to 100 mg/kg in basalt rocks. In clay based sediment
rocks Zn content amounts to 80-120 mg/kg, while in limestone and dolomites it amounts to 10-30 mg/kg.
total zinc content in the lithosphere is around 80 mg/kg, while in soil it is usually found in quantities
between 10 and 300 mg/kg, and 50 mg/kg in average.
Zinc (Zn) is one of the more significant polluting substances in the soil. The main sources of soil
pollution with Zn are mines and Fe smelters, utilization of waste (communal) sludge in agriculture,
composted materials, pesticides and fertilizers (organic and mineral).
Zinc is an irritant and has a toxic effect on many organs and systems. When larger quantities are inhaled,
the usual symptoms are increased tear accumulation and burning in the eyes, burning in the throat, retro-
sternum pain, coughing, with frothy discharge, dyspnea, and toxic lung edema. Zinc exposure causes
smelter’s fever, following latency starting from 4 to 8 hours from exposure.
RESULTS OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SOIL
Table No. 1. Results of chemical analysis of soil No. Measurement parameters Sample-1
1. Content of led (Pb) in all forms (in mg/kg) 77.70
2. Content of copper (Cu) in all forms (in mg/kg) 35.58
3. Content of zinc (Zn) in all forms (in mg/kg) 41.75
12
Comment on Results of Analysis
Led (Pb) content in all forms in the analyzed sample amounted to 77.70 mg/kg of soil, and that points out
that it is below the limit value allowed.
Copper (Cu) content in all forms in the analyzed sample amounted to 35.58 mg/kg of soil, and that points
out that it is below the limit value allowed.
Zinc (Zn) content in all forms in the analyzed sample amounted to 41.75 mg/kg of soil, and that points
out that it is below the limit value allowed.
At this point the Republic of Srpska lacks a rulebook that would regulate the quantities of harmful and
dangerous substances in soil, so that legal regulations of the Federation of BiH have been used, i.e. the
Instructions on Determining Allowed Quantities of harmful and Dangerous Substances in Soil and
Methods of Their testing (“Official Gazette of FBiH”, issue No. 72/09) and legal regulations of the
Republic of Serbia – the Rulebook on Allowed Quantities of Dangerous and Harmful Substances
(Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, issue No.11/90).

CONCLUSION:
In view of the fact that in the case of the examined soil sample the resulting values of heavy metals do
not exceed limit values pursuant to the aforementioned Rulebook, one may conclude that the soil studied
is not contaminated with heavy metals, led (Pb), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn).
