Dynamics of mineral nitrogen compounds in the waters of the Dniester River

Abstract

This article presents the results of studying the content of mineral (ammonium ions, nitrites and nitrates) and organic nitrogen compounds in water samples collected from the Dniester river in 2020. In the study are examines the seasonal dynamics of the forms of mineral nitrogen, total nitrogen and the correlation between organic and mineral nitrogen. Limits of ammonium ion concentration in the Dniester river varied between 0.002 mg N/l and 0.93 mg N/l, nitrite ions 0.002 mg N/l and 0.05 mg N/l, nitrate ions 0.002 mg N/l - 1.36 mg N/l.
