The Kostolac-Kovin coal basin with an area of 320 km2, with 5 separate layers of coal and with a total of about 5.7 Bt of geological resources and reserves represents an exceptional potential for coal production in Serbia. The coal resources listed in this way are not fully exploitable, but they represent potential for consideration. In this paper, we deal with the geochemical characteristics of coal seams and perform a comparative analysis of coal affectation on the environment. With ...

in Belgrade contains significantly higher concentrations of Zn, Pb, Cu than the rest of the examined zones,
as well as the coal of the Kostolac-Kovin basin. A typical example is Zn, which shows even extremely low

... contents in the coal. Also, in the process of coal diagenesis there was no yield of HM in coals.
The general conclusion is that the coals with their concentrations of Zn, Pb and Cu do not pollute the
sediments below or above the coal beds, and they also do not pollute the gravel or the productive humus ...
