Essay

The dissertation is devoted to researches on speciation, spatial distribution, accumulation and migration of heavy metals in the ecosystem of South Bug Estuary. The main sources of artificial contamination are counted and analyzed. A number of GIS-orientated maps of contamination of ab-iotic and biotic components of the Bug Estuary ecosystem with heavy metals are created. The areas of high artificial loading localized near industrial units are disclosed. The regularities of heavy metal water migration in the system "surface water layers - bottom water layers - water soluble species in bottom deposits" are determined. The processes of heavy metals bioaccumulation by hydrocoles are studied. The integrated assessment of environmental quality within the Estuary has been made.
