Sažetak
Drinking water in eastern Croatia contains high levels of elements such as arsenic manganese and iron. However, there is lack of data about concentrations of thallium and uranium, since the drinking water from five observed sites has never been chemically analysed in such detail, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) we analysed the concentrations of uranium and thallium in 71 samples from three villages (Vladislavci, Dalj and Čepin) and two towns (Osijek and Našice).The rules on the safety of drinking water in Croatia do not define standard values for thallium and uranium, however USEPA set 2 µg L-1 as the maximum contaminant level for thallium. Our results have shown that there is no danger for population in all five communities, since the thallium concentrations were very low (1x10-4 – 6, 8 x10-3 µg L-1). In all five communities the mean concentrations of uranium in drinking water was significantly lower than 30 µg L-1, which is WHO guideline value for uranium in drinking water. Mean uranium concentrations in drinking water samples varied from 0, 001 to 4, 25 µg L-1. Additionally, in our study thallium and uranium concentrations were determined in 391 urine samples. This study seems to have found relationship between concentrations of uranium in drinking water and uranium concentrations in urine samples only for Čepin area (rs= 0, 63, p<0, 05).
