Abstract :Exploitation of Pb-Zn ore, from Stari Tërgu mine and flotation of this ore in the First Tunnel flotation, and transportation of Pb and Zn concentrates it has affected on pollution of the urban environment in Mitrovicë and in surrounding. Besides the unit of Zinc Metallurgy, in the space of the MIP are wards of Chemical Industry, which as well as Zinc Metallurgy contributed directly or indirectly to the pollution of water of Sitnica river. Industrial waste, after processing of zinc, together with industrial waste of Chemical Industry are cast on Shupkovci landfill. These waste in itself contain heavy metals, which through surface and underground flowing penetrate and pollute with heavy metal the waters of Sitnica river. During our study work we aimed to investigate and verify the degree of concentration of heavy metals in the waters of river Sitnica, as a result of the impact of Shupkovci landfill, which is located on the right banks of this river.Keywords : Shupkovci landfill, MIP, pollution with heavy metals, Sitnica river, industrial waste, degree of concentration
