Assessment of contribution of water cycle and in-basin processes to marine environment pollution at the license area “Lagansky”

Abstract

The article describes the method for the calculation of background concentration of pollutants in marine water and bottom sediments, developed by the authors. Comparative analysis of seasonal changes in mean and background concentrations lays the basis for the assessment of contribution of water cycle and in-basin processes to marine environment pollution at the license area “Lagansky”.
