Sažetak
The distribution of lanthanides in wastewaters collected at the outlet of the municipal wastewater treatment plants receiving the wastewater from different Croatian cities was investigated. Seven cities of different population sizes, from 15 000 to 800 000 inhabitants, were chosen for this study. The total concentration of 14 lanthanides (Ce, La, Nd, Pm, Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Ho, Lu, Sm, Tb, Tm, Y, and Yb), including Y, (REY) were analyzed in collected wastewater samples by High Resolution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (HR-ICPMS). Obtained REY levels in samples were in accordance with previously published data for other major cities in Europe. Additionally, the intensity of positive Gd anomalies observed in wastewaters indicates an influence of pharmaceuticals on the urban wastewater load comparable to larger European cities. The obtained data also confirm the inability of their efficient removal during wastewater treatment and purification processes.
