Abstract
The objective of the project is to investigate the correlation between the concentrations of some pollutants in the water and sediments in the Solkan Hydroelectric power plant reservoir and the concentrations of pollutants in the drinking water from Mrzlek waterworks. Concentrations of heavy metals (Cr, Hg, Pb, Cd, As, Zn), radioactive elements Rn-222, Ra-226, and particularly toxic organic pollutants (THMs) or their precursors are monitored regularly. Health risks for the population consuming water from Mrzlek waterworks are being evaluated based on the results of chemical analysis and epidemiological studies.
