САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

This paper examines the distribution of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) among various soil particle sizes, with a focus on Fluvisol soils in Novi Sad, Serbia, which are distinguished for their high sand content. Potentially toxic elements (PTEs), as As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, and Pb were analyzed in urban soil in the vicinity of major roads and distribution factors (DF) were calculated. Urban soil was initially collected as bulk samples and then separated into seven distinct particle size fractions through wet sieving. Based on the obtained results, the highest  values were observed in the finest fraction (< 25 μm), followed by larger fractions (500-1000 μm), while the lowest values were found in the medium-sized particles (125-250 μm). Considering the predominant presence of sand as larger particle in urban soils worldwide, it is important to include coarser fractions in the risk assessment for the urban environment.
