The aim of this research is to reduce the quantities of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the samples of non-hygienized sewage sludge via laboratory biodegradation. Pure bacterial cultures of Pseudomonas putida, Rhodococcus sp. and their mixture in 1:1 proportion have been used. The laboratory experiment lasted for 28 days and the acquired values were compared with Decree 294/2005 Coll. The obtained results imply that biodegradation of such contaminated samples is practicable. Using the bacterial mixture, over 85 % Σ of PCBs were degraded, and applying Rhodococcus sp. as much as 95.86 % of the original concentration of PAHs were removed.

The aim of this work was to determine the content of the residues of the most commonly detected organohalogens and polychlorinated biphenyls in biomaterial. It is also the introduction of frogs as a new fine indicator of pollution in aquatic and terrestrial systems, due to their abundance all over Europe and their habitats in still and running waters. The residues of organohalogens and polyaromatic hydrocarbons in frog liver samples were taken from four sites - the river Danube and canal DTD in Vojvodina (northern part of Serbia), from the river Dubasnica near the town of Bor and in the Zlot canyon, Serbia, Yugoslavia. They were determined using gas chromatography with mass detector (GC/MS) and they indicate the high level of contamination of the chosen aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems by HCH, PCB, PAH and herbicides.
