Influence of physico-chemical characteristics of the bottom sediments on the trace elements’ distribution by the example of Sevastopol bays (Black Sea)
Physico-chemical characteristics of bottom sediments upper layer (0-5 cm) of the Sevastopol and Kazachya bays (Black Sea) are given. The pollution load of some trace metals is estimated. The ability of the bottom sediments on accumulation of the trace metals and iron, manganese, strontium, arsenic is considered.
