Abstract

The results of hydrochemical studies of Petrozavodsk Bay of Lake Onega carried out during 2001–2004 were analyzed. Due consideration was given to the pollution of bottom sediments with oil products and to the trend in pollution variations. The present condition of bottom sediments of the bay and the consequences of their pollution were assessed.
