Water, being of critical importance for the survival of life on the planet, requires our
permanent care and attention. There is a growing concern about the genotoxicity of complex
environmental mixtures present in surface waters, due to the risk of genetic damage and
cancer, both in aquatic organisms and humans. Allium anaphase-telophase test has been
accepted as a promising tool to detect, among other things, toxicity and genotoxicity of river
water. The present study has focused on exploring the status of water pollution in areas
with combined industrial and agricultural activities in order to estimate the magnitude
of toxicity and genotoxicity using the Allium test. We collected samples of surface water
from the Sava River, upstream and downstream from the town of Šabaca nd at the Danube
River upstream and downstream from the town Smederevo. We analyzed using the Allium
anaphase-telophase test. In both rivers sampling was done in periods of low and high water
level. While at low water level genotoxicity was higher at points downstream of Šabaca nd
Smederevo, samples collected in periods of highwater level were more genotoxic upstream
from the towns. This can be explained as a consequence of agricultural activities.
