Distribution of hydrocarbons in water and bottom sediments of the Northern and Middle Caspian Sea

详细

A study of two classes of hydrocarbons (HCs)—aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic—in suspended matter of the surface waters and bottom sediments of the Northern and Middle Caspian Sea (R/V Nikifor Shurekov, October 2015) is described. It has been determined that oil pollution transported by river runoff and fluid streams flowing from sedimentary formations in the northeastern part are the main sources of hydrocarbons in the river–sea boundaries of the Volga, Terek, and Sulak rivers.
