CONCENTRATION OF MERCURY IN SUSPENDED MATTER IN SURFACE SEAWATER OF AZOV-BLACK SEA BASIN
Journal: Ekosistemy
Year: 2024

The content of mercury in water and suspended matter in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov was studied. The research established that in 2020 the concentration of total form of mercury in water did not exceed the maximum permissible values (100 ng×l−1). In the Black Sea it varied from 12 to 65 ng×l−1, and in the Azov Sea from 22 to 59 ng×l−1. The variation in the coefficients of mercury accumulation in suspended matter was (14.5–1666.7)×103 units in the Black Sea and (14.5–272.7)×103 in the Sea o
