Abstract

The influence of copper mining and metallurgy operations on the quality of surface water in Bor area watercourse has been taken into consideration in this paper. Monitoring of the water quality was performed on five rivers and one industrial wasterwater. The concentration of Cu, As, Ni, Cd, and Pb ions during four selected quarters in period November 2019 – June 2021 were determined on all samples. Water samples were analysed using atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma or mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma depending on the ions concentration. The highest values of the concentration were recorded for the As ions in the metallurgical wastewater. Also, the concentration of Ni, Cd, Pb, and Cu ions had the highest values in samples from metallurgical wastewater.
