1. Microplastics in groundwater: pathways, occurrence, and monitoring challengesElvira Colmenarejo Calero, Manca Kovač Viršek, Nina Mali, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm, are considered an emerging pollutant. Their presence in the water cycle and their interaction with ecological processes pose a significant environmental threat. As groundwater (GW) represents the primary source of drinking water, monitoring MPs in GW and investigating their potential sources and pathways is of urgent importance. This article offers a comprehensive overview of the primary contamination pathways of MPs from surface water, seawater, and soil into the GW. Moreover, it presents an examination of the occurrence of MPs in GW and identifies the challenges associated with their monitoring in GW. This study also discusses the difficulties associated with comparing research results related to MPs in GW, as well as indicating the need for implementing standardised techniques for their sampling and detection. On the basis of our experience and the literature review, we highlight the importance of understanding the specific hydrogeological and hydrogeographic conditions, collecting representative samples, using sampling devices with comparable specifications and comparable laboratory techniques for MP identification, and preventing contamination at all stages of the monitoring process. This review offers valuable insights and practical guidelines on how to improve the reliability and comparability of results between studies monitoring MPs in GW.

4. Evaluation of silicona microstrip detectors as X-ray sensors in digital mammographyTadej Mali, Vladimir Cindro, Marko Mikuž, Urban Zdešar, Breda Jančar, 1999, original scientific article Abstract: Background. Position sensitive silicon microstrip detectors are used as sensors for X rays in a digital imaging system. Silicon detectors were used inan edgeon geometry, yielding high X ray detection efficiency. Material and methods. A small detector system was assembled and tested. Images of a standard, 5 cm thick phantom were made and evaluated. It is demonstrated, thatthe use of silicon detectors in mammography could significantly contributeto a reduction of dose. All images were made with skin entrance doses lower than 1 mGy. Results and conclusion. Microcalcifications with a diameter of 350microm could still be detected with skin entrance doses of about 0.25 mGy. It was demonstrated that a 5 Ip/mm pattern can be detected. Image processing should further improve the image quality.
