AB  - Transport of hydrophobic pollutants in rivers such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals is often facilitated by suspended sediment particles, which are typically mobilized during high discharge events. Suspended sediments thus represent a means of transport for particle related pollutants within river reaches and may represent a suitable proxy for average pollutant concentrations estimation in a river reach or catchment. In this study, multiple high discharge/turbidity events were sampled at high temporal resolution in the Globaqua River Basins Sava (Slovenia, Serbia), Adige (Italy), and Evrotas (Greece) and analysed for persistent organic pollutants such as PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) or PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and heavy metals. For comparison, river bed sediment samples were analysed as well. Further, results are compared to previous studies in contrasting catchments in Germany, Iran, Spain, and beyond. Overall results show that loadings of suspended sediments with pollutants are catchment-specific and relatively stable over time at a given location. For PAHs, loadings on suspended particles mainly correlate to urban pressures (potentially diluted by sediment mass fluxes) in the rivers, whereas metal concentrations mainly display a geogenic origin. By cross-comparison with known urban pressure/sediment yield relationships (e.g. for PAHs) or soil background values (for metals) anthropogenic impact – e.g. caused by industrial activities – may be identified. Sampling of suspended sediments gives much more reliable results compared to sediment grab samples which typically show a more heterogeneous contaminant distribution. Based on mean annual suspended sediment concentrations and distribution coefficients of pollutants the fraction of particle facilitated transport versus dissolved fluxes can be calculated.

AB  - Introduction 
The aim of this study was to determinate the activitiy of antioxidant enzyme catalse (CAT) and phase II metabolic enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in the liver of trout species from two sites at the upper stretch of the Sava River (Sava Bohinjka, downstream Bohinjska Bistrica and Radovljica) and three sites in the Adige River Basin (Vermigliana stream at Vermiglio, Noce at Mezzana and Noce at Mezzolombardo). Two basins are a part of the GLOBAQUA investigation approach (Navarro-Ortega et al., 2015) – Figure 1. Rising activity of CAT and GST is indicative for presence of stress factors - lack of oxygen and influence of an array of xenobiotics (Pavlović et al., 2004). 
Material and Methods 
The following trout taxa were used as sentinels organisms: Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758 (the Sava Basin), S. marmoratus and S. cenerinus Nardo, 1847 (the Adige Basin). Having in mind that collected taxa are closely related and have same ecological preferences, the data on activity of antioxidant and phase II metabolic enzymes is comparable. Due to the geographic distribution of trout species, it was not possible to collect the same taxa in two distinct river basins. Material for the analyses was collected and processed according to the standard procedure (Pavlović et al., 2004). 
Results 
Analyses of the activity of CAT and GST from the individuals from the Sava River did not show significant mutual difference, which is also the case with the activities of selected enzymes in individuals collected from the streams in the Adige River Basin. From the other side, statistical analysis showed that samples from the locality Sava Bohinjka had significantly higher hepatic GST activity in compare with all samples from the Adige Basin (p˂0.001, Anova, Tukey's post hoc test). Hepatic CAT also showed higher activity in individuals collected from the Sava than in those collected from the Adige River, but difference was not significant (p˂0.05).  
Discussion 
The results indicate that individuals of the trout species from the Sava River are under the higher influence of stress factors in compare to those collected from the Adige Basin. Having in mind that oxygen deficit was not recorded at investigated sites, the difference in enzymatic activity presented herein could indicate that the upper stretch of the Sava River is under higher influence of xenobiotics, in compare to streams investigated in the Adige Basin. Variation in activity of selected enzymes have been demonstrated in many studies and proposed as an effective marker of pollutant-mediated oxidative stress (Pavlović et al., 2004). The presence of pollutants and general degradation of certain sections of the Sava River have been discussed in previous studies (Milačić et al., 2015, Vrzel et al., 2016).

AB  - River ecosystems are subject to multiple stressors that affect their structure and functioning. Ecosystem structure refers to characteristics such as channel form, water quality or the composition of biological communities, whereas ecosystem functioning refers to processes such as metabolism, organic matter decomposition or secondary production. Structure and functioning respond in contrasting and complementary ways to environmental stressors. Moreover, assessing the response of ecosystem functioning to stressors is critical to understand the effects on the ecosystem services that produce direct benefits to humans. Yet, there is more information on structural than on functional parameters, and despite the many approaches available to measure river ecosystem processes, structural approaches are more widely used, especially in management. One reason for this discrepancy is the lack of synthetic studies analyzing river ecosystem functioning in a way that is useful for both scientists and managers. Here, we present a synthesis of key river ecosystem processes, which provides a description of the main characteristics of each process, including criteria guiding their measurement as well as their respective sensitivity to stressors. We also discuss the current limitations, potential improvements and future steps that the use of functional measures in rivers needs to face.

AB  - In this study a comprehensive genotoxicological survey throughout the upper and middle stretches of Adige river basin is presented. The study was carried out at 7 sites located along the Adige main course and one the most significant tributaries, the Noce creek, both presenting different levels of pollution pressure. To give an insight into the nature of the genotoxic activity we employed the battery of prokaryotic and eukaryotic assays. Mutagenicity in water samples was evaluated by SOS/umuC test in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002. The level of DNA damage as a biomarker of exposure (comet assay) and biomarker of effect (micronucleus assay) and the level of oxidative stress as well (Fpg - modified comet assay) were studied in blood cells of Salmo cenerinus Nardo, 1847 and Salmo marmoratus Cuvier, 1829. Within the applied bioassays, comet assay showed the highest potential for discriminating the sampling sites which are under lesser extent of pressure (sampling sites 1-Barnes at Bresimo and 4-Noce downstream S. Giustina) from the sites under high pressure (sampling sites 5-Noce at Mezzolombardo and 6/7-Adige upstream and downstream municipality of Trento). Significant correlation between the standard and Fpg - modified comet assay indicated that oxidative stress could be a major contributor to observed DNA damage in collected specimens.
