MODELING ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE FROM BOGUCHANSKY RESERVOIR WATER CONTAMINATION DUE TO INCOMPLETE DISFORESTING IN THE IRKUTSK REGION
Model experiments performed in laboratory conditions have studied some indicators of quality and quantity of water extracts of bark-free pine and birch as the most numerous species of wood submerged in Boguchansky reservoir bed in the Irkutsk region. The quantity of extractives obtained through the short extractive exposure calculated for the amount of wood and stumps left in the reservoir bed suggests that they will become a lasting source of Boguchansky reservoir water dangerous pollution with biogenous and phenolic compounds among others. According to the categorization of emerging risks expressed in terms of the environmental and economic damage it is necessary to develop and implement measures to protect the purity of the reservoir waters.
