Abstract
The aim of this research is to study the main ecological parameters of the Black Sea in an experimental way as well as to evaluate the results and to draw conclusions. We aim at determining the cause of pollution of the sea area represented by the emissions from ships’ engines and pollution by surface waters. Our empirical part that included the field expeditions, sampling was carried out with the involvement of students within the framework of the internal grant research project “Monitoring of the Black Sea Ecological Status - Sea Water Quality Survey”. We studied the level of pollution of two rivers flowing into the Black Sea, Bartskhana and Kubistskali, and made relevant conclusions about the types of pollution, proper measurements and causal relationship of the causes of sea water pollution with the vessels entering the port of Batumi.
Highlights
Numerous studies have been devoted to the study of the ecological status of the Black Sea [1, 2]
The pollution of rivers leads to the disturbance of the ecological condition of the Black Sea
Seawater analyses were taken at sensitive points of the Black Sea, the concentration of seawater hydrogen ions and the quantitative salinity were determined in laboratory conditions - on average, 17-20 ‰; Third, laboratory studies have shown that the concentration of hydrogen ions in the confluence of the rivers "Bartskhana" and "Kubistskali", as well as in the water area of the port of Batumi varied in the range of pH = 6.5-8.3
Summary
Numerous studies have been devoted to the study of the ecological status of the Black Sea [1, 2]. As the economy and transport infrastructure of the Black Sea Basin countries grow, the research problem is constantly changing [3]. The degree of pollution of the marine environment increases. The most important ecological problem is the introduction of large amounts of biogenic substances, various pollutants (pesticides, phenols, resins, etc.) by rivers into the sea. Increased maritime traffic is another factor in marine pollution. In previous studies we have explored issues about ballast waters
