Black Sea coastal zone, Rv.Supsa delta

Concentration of other organic contaminants in the water column

Discrete water samplers; gas chromatographs

The Rv. Supsa and the sea area adjacent to the river delta are located in the limits of the zone subjected to the impact from oil pipeline and oil terminal. Objectives of cruise were the collection and analyze of water and sediment samples from Rv. Supsa, offshore zone of Oil Terminal and river delta, with purpose of the evaluation of Terminal impact on marine environment. Concentration of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in sea water is determined by gas-chromatographic method after extraction with hexane.
