Selected heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd) in Sava River water and sediment in
Serbia were investigated on three locations in the vicinity of industrial
and urban settlements (Šabac, Obrenovac, Beograd) during the period spring
2007-autumn 2011. The fluxes of heavy metals from river water to sediment
due to sedimentation and heavy metal re-suspension fluxes due to sediment
re-suspension at a high flow were determined, by applying the model for
assessment of the transport the pollutants through rivers. Those fluxes were
attributed mainly to natural processes.
Keywords: flux of heavy metal, river sediment, sediment re-suspension
