Abstract
The content and accumulation of particular heavy metals in phyto- and zooplankyon from the technogenically transformed Lake Kenon (Chita, Transbaikalia) have been studied. Algae contains the highest concentrations of Zn and Sr. Zooplankton is characterized by concentrations of Ni, Cu, Cd, and Hg either below or equivalent to those known for other water bodies. It has been shown that the distribution of heavy metals in the studied water body is differentiated. Their greatest concentration has been registered in the plankton of technogenically contaminated sites—CHPP and Oil Tank Farm.
