Several hot spots of severe freshwater pollution and sediment contamination (mostly heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls) have been identified in Serbia as the consequence of outdated environmental legislation, negligible amounts of properly treated waste waters and accidental spills.
Since ecotoxicological methods have never been incorporated into risk assessment procedures, mandatory effluent discharge or ambient water monitoring programmes, ecotoxicological research, based on bioaccumulation studies, conventional ecotoxicological tests and, recently, biomarkers of exposure and effect have been restricted to independent small- to medium-scale studies, conducted, basically, to confirm, underline or oppose the results of chemical-based monitoring and to lament on inadequate environmental regulations/policy and management practice. Although hot and unresolved ecotoxicological problems still remain beyond the reach of ecotoxicological research currently conducted in Serbia, or are tackled only sporadically, it is to be expected that on-going research and institutional capacity building should, hopefully, increase the competence and competitiveness of scientific community and speed up the process of harmonisation of national environmental legislation and policy with European Union.
由于环境立法过时、经妥善处理的废水数量极少以及意外泄漏，塞尔维亚已确定了几个严重的淡水污染和沉积物污染热点地区（主要是重金属、多环芳烃和多氯联苯）。
由于生态毒理学方法从未被纳入风险评估程序、强制性废水排放或环境水监测计划，基于生物累积研究、传统生态毒理学测试以及最近的暴露和效应生物标志物的生态毒理学研究仅限于独立的中小规模研究，基本上是为了证实、强调或反对基于化学监测的结果，并对环境法规/政策和管理实践的不足表示遗憾。尽管塞尔维亚目前进行的生态毒理学研究仍无法解决热点且未解决的生态毒理学问题，或者只是偶尔涉及，但预计正在进行的研究和机构能力建设有望提高科学界的能力和竞争力，并加快国家环境立法和政策与欧盟协调的进程。
