The effect of increasing the concentration of aluminum on the ecological state of the Azov Sea
Abstract
The effect of increasing the concentration of aluminum on the ecological state of the Azov Sea
Incoming article date: 16.12.2017The estimation of the modern ecological state of the Azov Sea is considered. For evaluation, a specific combinatorial water pollution index is used, an element is revealed, a sharp increase in the annual average concentrations of which leads to a negative effect on the ecological state. The influence of elevated aluminum concentrations in natural water and environmental degradation on human health is assessed.
Keywords: Maximum allowable concentration (MPC), specific combinatory index of water pollution (UKIZV), water quality, aluminum, human health, neurotoxin, Azov Sea
