WATERS AND LANDS POLLUTION IN UKRAINE
AZOV SEA
There is a situation of increasing of mineral nitrogen in the Azov sea area. There is a situation of high level of mineralization in waters aroud of the Azov sea. Contents of nitrogen compounds is also very high (in 2000):
• for NH4 compounds - from 1 to 9 times of MPC (maximum permissible  concentration)
• for NO2 compounds – from 1 to 34 times of  MPC
Contents of nitrogen compounds in the Azov sea is low – less than 1 MPC.
Contents of petroleum products in the waters – from 1 to 2 MPC.
Contents of phenolic compounds – about 3 MPC.
