	abstract = {Heavy metals have a
negative impact on environment and wildlife. In waters, heavy metals appear in
two forms, as dissolved and bioavailable; and as solid and non-soluble. We monitored
the concentration of dissolved copper, nickel, manganese and iron in water
samples at five river locations of north-west Croatia from 2016 to 2018.
Concentrations of dissolved nickel measured at Melačka river, near Vularija in
Međimurje county and HE Čakovec dam, near Štefanec in Međimurje county were
below 5 µg/l and could be considered as not polluted. Concentrations of
dissolved copper measured at Plitvica river, near Zbela in Varaždinska county
and Horvatska, near Veliko Trgovišće in Krapinsko-Zagorska county were mostly
below 5 µg/l and could be considered as not polluted. At Kosteljina river near
Jalšje at the Krapinsko-Zagorska county concentrations of dissolved copper were
mostly below 5 µg/l; concentrations of dissolved manganese and iron were higher
especially during second part of the year, with some fluctuations. For this
reason, Kosteljina river could be considered as medium polluted.},
