Based on analysis of published literature the main features of the history and study of modern ideas about the peloids and their healing properties are represented, the structure of geo-ecological conditions of formation of sludge deposits of the deep zone of the Black Sea, that can be categorized as Black Sea deep-water peloids, is defined. In particular, given that Black Sea deep-water peloids are formed under conditions of constant low temperature, the absence of light, the impact of specific conditions such as microorganisms-destructors, the presence of hydrogen sulphide layer at depths of the pool screen above 180 - 200 m, can be described as a long term conservation of the Black sea deep-water peloids, And of their unique to the present environmental cleanliness. The study of the material, including particle size and chemical composition of the solid component Black Sea deep-water peloids, and some of the characteristics of the liquid, gas and biological components, physico-chemical, physical, mechanical and medical properties, the synthesis of large material published on these issues, make possible to identify three main material-genetic complex types of Black Sea deep-water peloids. Between these types of bottom sediments there are almost continuous transitions caused by gradual change of their particle size and material composition. Analysis of the available materials revealed that the studied layers of deep-sea sediments that match the concept of "peloids", are dominated by terrigenous subcalcareous silty-pelitic and pelitic silts; the second place is held by biogenic-terrigenous pelitic silts, the third - by terrigenous silts. Biogenic highly calcareous pelitic and sapropelic-similar silts are distributed almost equally with a slight predominance of the latter. Among the youngest of deep-sea sediments diminishing role of terrigenous components is observed while the biogenic carbonate component is increasing. Author received prognosis estimation Black Sea deep-water peloids prospective resources in deep zone Ukrainian sector of the Black Sea region and recommended setting priorities for exploration. The basic principles and directions in the area of marketing Black Sea deep-water peloids, considered marketing approach to the market of recreational services and use of resources Black Sea deep-water peloids as components of the preparation of medicines, the economic and environmental criteria for assessing their effective use for medicinal purposes is given. Given the accumulated factual material and the main conclusions of this dissertation can predict that production and wide use of Black Sea deep-water peloids, provided precedence them comprehensive market research involving relevant experts, will be economically feasible in the application of sustainable technologies and sustained claims as Ukrainian and international law.
