RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH ON HEAVY METAL CONTENT IN BOTTOM SEDIMENT IN THE SUPERVISED AREA OF THE BELARUSIAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Abstract

The article presents the results of bottom sediment study in the supervised area of the Belarusian NPP. The approximate coefficients of heavy metal content in bottom sediment and in a water body as a whole are calculated on the basis of a literature review. According to the experimental data, both background and critical river pollution levels are estimated in the supervised area of the Belarusian NPP.
