Abstract

U kemijskom laboratoriju MPZ-a, na odabranim tlima iz okolice Labina i Raše (Labinština), obavljene su sljedeće geokemijske analize: određivanje sadržaja karbonata u tlu, CEC (kationski izmjenjivački kapacitet), pH, i LOI (gubitak žarenjem). Na temelju koncentracija potencijalno toksičnih elemenata u tlu (izmjerenih u Nastavnom zavodu za javno zdravstvo dr. Andrija Štampar), izračunata je procjena rizika po zdravlje ljudi Labinštine izazvanog inhalacijom, ingestijom, ili dermalnom izloženošću tlu zagađenom višestoljetnim rudarsko-industrijskim aktivnostima. Zbog povišenih koncentracija nekih metala u tlu, bilo je nužno obaviti ovu vrstu izračuna. Cilj rada je upoznavanje s geokemijskim metodama istraživanja okoliša, te određivanje kancerogenog i nekancerogenog rizika po zdravlje ljudi Labinštine kao posljedica kontakta s česticama zagađenog tla koje je bilo pod višestoljetnim utjecajima iskapanja i sagorijevanja Raškog ugljena te prateće metalne industrije.

Abstract (english)

The following geochemical analyzes were made in the chemical laboratory of the geology department, on selected soils from the Labin city area: the determination of carbonate content in the soil, CEC (cation exchange capacity), pH, and LOI (burning loss). Based on the concentration of potentially toxic elements in the soil (measured in the Public Health Institute dr. Andrija Štampar), an assessment of the health risks for people in Labin caused by inhalation, ingestion, or dermal exposure to contaminated soil was calculated. Because of the high concentrations of some metals in the soil, it was necessary to do this type of calculation. The aim of this paper is to discuss geochemical environmental research methods and to determine the carcinogenic and non-cancerous risk to human health of Labin city area as a consequence of the contact with the particles of polluted soil under the multi-century effects of excavation and combustion of coal and related metal industries.
