STUDY OF THE KUYALNIK ESTUARY BOTTOM SEDIMENTS POLLUTION BY HEAVY METALS
The results of long-term (2000 to 2012) studies of bottom sediments pollution levels in the Kuyalnik estuary by heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr, V, Mn) are presented. It is shown that the spatial distribution of metals depends on the location of the local sources of anthropogenic contamination and...

| Summary: | The results of long-term (2000 to 2012) studies of bottom sediments pollution levels in the Kuyalnik estuary by heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr, V, Mn) are presented. It is shown that the spatial distribution of metals depends on the location of the local sources of anthropogenic contamination and mechanical structure and the types of sediment. The evaluation of the level of technogenic pollution by comparing the long-term average and mean annual concentrations with the natural clarkes of lithosphere and the MAC for soils carried out. |
