Sažetak
This paper investigates the heavy metals content and the presence of Legionella spp in water supply with the purpose of correlating their concentrations with presence of Legionella spp. and estimation of the associated public health risks. Human activities and natural causes influence the formation of the bio-aerosols which when inhaled, create preconditions for infection. Chemical parameters like water hardness, free chlorine and heavy metals contribute to colonization of Legionella spp. Based on the standard methods for detection of Legionella spp. and on determinations of heavy metals concentrations one can decide whether previous water treatment process has been successful. Otherwise, further interventions might be required for the protection of the human health. Furthermore this investigation provides the basis for design and subsequent scrutiny of pertinent chemical water treatment technologies. The measurement of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, as well as Ca and Mg concentrations have been performed on samples collected in water supply systems within Split and Dalmatian County area. Their concentrations were determined by AA Spectrometry. Based on the experimental results, the median of the Fe, Cu and Mn concentrations was found to be twice in the samples containing the Legionella spp. compared to other samples.
