Abstract: | The physicochemical, toxicological, and teratological properties of bottom sediments in Karelian lakes (Vuontelenjarvi, Suojarvi, Venderskoe, and Chuchjarvi) and Kondopoga Bay of Lake Onega are studied. Bioassay results testify to a high toxicity of bottom sediments in heavily acidified lakes (with the water pH of 5.5 and lower). |
