Abstract:
Water samples from springs, a river, and precipitation in the Rovte region, central Slovenia, were analyzed for their trace metal concentrations. The sampling campaign covered one year (summer 2022 - summer 2023), with samples collected twice per month. The sites studied were at six carbonate springs, one river, and one precipitation station. Samples were collected and immediately filtered into bottles containing nitric acid, and then transported for analyzes at the Hydrogeochemical Laboratory of the AGH University of Krakow, Poland. Data were collected on various trace metal concentrations by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) for Al, B, Ba, Ca, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Si, Sr and Zn, and by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for Ag, As, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Ti, Tl, V, W and Zr; data are only shown for metals that were above the detection limits. The study was carried out to understand how different geological units affect the water geochemistry of springs and whether this data can be used to help delimit the boundaries of catchment areas. Additionally, the concentrations of trace metals were used to assess whether the waters were fit for consumption. The study also provides baseline data for a wider research project on the process of dedolomitization in the Rovte region.
