The aim of this study was to assess the sanitary status of soils in the Municipality of Čačak, based on the presence of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. The examination involved testing soils previously exposed to different forms of degradation, including soils near industrial zones and landfills, soils close to congested roads, soils exposed to floods, and soils exposed to the uncontrolled use of agrochemicals and agricultural machinery. The data obtained indicate that the examined soils are mostly unpolluted or slightly to moderately polluted and that therefore they will not have a negative effect on plant production and the health of humans and animals.
U radu je razmatran sanitarni status zemljišta na teritoriji grada Čačka, na osnovu prisustva i brojnosti Escherichia coli i Salmonella sp. Ispitivanjem su obuhvaćena zemljišta koja su u prethodnom periodu bila izložena nekom vidu degradacije: zemljišta u blizini industrijskih zona i deponije; zemljišta pored frekventnih saobraćajnica; zemljišta koja su bila izložena poplavama i zemljišta sa nekontrolisanom upotrebom agrohemikalija i poljoprivrednih mašina. Dobijeni podaci ukazuju da su ispitivana zemljišta uglavnom nezagađena ili slabo do umereno opterećena ovom vrstom zagađenja i da zbog toga neće imati negativnog efekta na biljnu produkciju i zdravstveni status životinja i ljudi.
