Heavy metals concentrations (Аl, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sr, Ti, Zn),some non-metals (B, P), anions and more physico-chemical parameters of water and sediments in the Vardar river,during its course through the urban area, were studied in order to assess and discuss its pollution in Skopje and theorigin of this pollution. Besides water, river sediments, as reservoirs of most pollutants, were analyzed, using methodsof Geoaccumulation index (Igeo) and Enrichment factor (EF).}, number={1}, journal={Geologica Macedonica}, author={Dimitrova, Dafinka and Boev, Ivan and Zajkova Panova, Vesna}, year={2015}, month={Jun.}, pages={pp. 25-46} }
