Abstract

Selen je esencijalni element, bitan za životinje i ljude, a u povećanim koncentracijama toksičan. Raški ugljen iznimno je obogaćen sumporom, selenom, uranom, vanadijem i molibdenom te je stoljećima korišten u industriji na Raškom području. Cilj ovoga rada bio je utvrditi razine selena i potencijalno toksičnih elemenata u tragovima u lokalno uzgojenom povrću, voću i samoniklom bilju. U usporedbi s vrijednostima selena u povrću iz ostalih regija Hrvatske te s Hrvatskim legislativnim vrijednostima, selen je u raškom povrću izrazito povišen. Prikazani rezultati ovog rada trebali bi potaknuti daljnja istraživanja o prehrambenim navikama stanovništva raškog područja.

Abstract (english)

Selenium is an essential element for animals and humans, which is toxic if elevated. Raša coal is exceptionally enriched in sulfur, selenium, uranium, vanadium and molybdenum. It was used in local industry of the Raša area for centuries. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of selenium and potentially toxic trace elements in locally grown vegetables, fruits and wild plants. In comparison with the values of selenium in vegetables from other regions of Croatia and the Croatian legislative values, selenium in Raša vegetables was substantially increased. The results of this work should encourage further research on the alimentary habits of the population of the Raša area.
