The main purpose of this study is to determine the differences between anthropogenic sources and lithogenic sources of the content of certain potentially toxic elements in the region of Mitrovica, Republic of Kosovo. For that purpose, the results of a study on the spatial distribution and enrichment of cobalt, chromium and nickel in surface soil from Mitrovica and its environ, are reported. The average content of Co, Cr and Ni in soil amounts to 22 mg kg, 60 mg kg and 96 mg kg, respectively. Spatial distribution maps of Co, Cr and Ni shows their predominance in the area of Triassic serpentinites on the North-eastern and Western parts of study area. The lowest contents are found on the outcropping of Miocene latites, quartz-latites and pyroclastites. It has been established that the increased content of Co, Cr and Ni in soils from this area is of lithogenic origin. It is shown that content of Co, Cr and Ni exceeds the target Dutch value in 173 km, 82 km and 256 km (from 302 km of the study area), respectively, while the content of Cr and Ni exceeds the action Dutch value in 17 km and 63 km, respectively.
本研究的主要目的是确定科索沃共和国米特罗维察地区某些潜在有毒元素的人为源和岩源之间的差异。为此，报告了对米特罗维察及其周边地区表层土壤中钴、铬和镍的空间分布和富集情况的研究结果。土壤中 Co、Cr 和 Ni 的平均含量分别为 22mg/kg、60mg/kg 和 96mg/kg。Co、Cr 和 Ni 的空间分布图谱显示，它们主要分布在研究区东北部和西部的三叠纪蛇纹岩区。在中新世流纹岩、石英流纹岩和火山碎屑岩出露区，含量最低。已经确定，该地区土壤中 Co、Cr 和 Ni 的含量增加是源于岩石。结果表明，在 173km、82km 和 256km 范围内（研究区 302km 的 3 倍），该地区土壤中 Co、Cr 和 Ni 的含量超过了荷兰目标值，而 Cr 和 Ni 的含量分别在 17km 和 63km 范围内超过了荷兰行动值。
