Compounds of Reduced Inorganic Sulfur in the Waters of the White Sea and the Northern Dvina Mouth

Abstract

The occurrence and distribution of reduced inorganic sulfur compounds in the waters of the White Sea and the Northern Dvina mouth are studied. Universal occurrence of micro-quantities of the above compounds in the oxic marine and fluvial waters is established. The White Sea water is found to be depleted of reduced sulfur, judging by the sum of reduced S forms (<0.5 μmol), as compared with that in the water of the Black and Baltic seas.
