Abstract
Iron migration forms and variations of its concentrations in water and bottom sediments of the Vygozero Reservoir were studied in period from 1993 to 2014. The decrease in wastewater volume discharged from the pulp and paper mill in the early 1990s caused stabilization of water oxidation regime and accumulation of iron in bottom sediments, from which it returns into the water mass when the environmental conditions change in the seasonal oxygen cycle.
