چکیده

a study of the atmospheric particulate size distribution of total suspended particulate matter(tspm) and associated heavy metals concentrations has been carried out for the urban part of sarajevo city,bosnia and herzegovina. urban particles (n=150) were collected using a high volume air sampler equippedwith a 6-stage impactor. apart from fe which has been determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry(faas), all measurements (co, cu, mn) have been carried out by graphite furnace atomic absorptionspectrometry (gfaas). the average concentrations of particulate matter are 37%, 18%, 15%, 8%, 15% and6% (averaged over all the observations) of total suspended particulate for pm< 0.49, pm0.95 – 0.49, pm1.5 -0.95, pm3.0 – 1.5, pm7.2 – 3.0 and pm> 7.2, respectively. metal concentrations in size-fractionated urban particles ranged from 0.01-3.83 ng/m3 for co, 6.30-179.20 ng/m3 for cu, 5.00-208.70 ng/m3 for mn and 0.35-6.82 g/m3 for fe. major concentrations of investigated metals are associated with the pm 7.2-3.0 μm. overall, the decreasing trend of average trace element concentrations (24-h) in the particulates revealed the following order: fe>mn>cu>co.

Prevalence of Coronary artery anomalies detected by Coronary CT Angiography in Canton Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

BACKGROUND Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are congenital variations of one or more of the coronary arteries and they are an uncommon but important cause of chest pain and, in some cases, sudden cardiac death. Anomalies of coronary arteries may be found incidentally in 0.3-1% of healthy individuals. The three types of coronary artery anomalies are anomalies of origin, anomalies of course and a...
