Abstract
Abstrtact
Groundwater quality was evaluated in Leningrad oblast and Southern Karelia in terms of their physicochemical characteristics and heavy metal concentrations. Estimates of groundwater quality indices revealed pollution levels from moderate to severe, high and extremely high groundwater toxicity in some regions, high risks of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects. It was found that the largest effect on the quality of the examined groundwater is due to the concentrations of Fe, Mn, Ba, Zn, Ni, and Cd.
期刊介绍:
Water Resources is a journal that publishes articles on the assessment of water resources, integrated water resource use, water quality, and environmental protection. The journal covers many areas of research, including prediction of variations in continental water resources and regime; hydrophysical, hydrodynamic, hydrochemical and hydrobiological processes, environmental aspects of water quality and protection; economic, social, and legal aspects of water-resource development; and experimental methods of studies.
