CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF WATER FROM THE SOURCES OF THE CARPATHIAN BIOSPHERE RESERVE

Abstract

The results of research into the sources of carbon dioxide underground water within the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve (CBR) are presented. According to the results of statistical processing of the results of the analysis of the chemical composition of water, the limits of the content of the components of the salt composition — SO42–, Cl–, Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3–, Na++K+, mineralization, pH value, temperature, as well as СО2 and a comparison with known mineral carbon dioxide were established the waters of the Caucasus — Arzni, Narzan, Borjomi. Possible sources of carbon dioxide inflow into groundwater are given. It has been established that the source of the Kveliv forestry of the Chornohirsky massif of the CBR is similar to the carbonated mineral waters of the Narzan type, the sources of the tracts of Hoverla, Piddil and Krasne Pleso are similar to the carbonated mineral spring of the Borjomi type. The microcomponent composition (As, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, V, Cr, F) of the sources of carbonated waters of the CBR was determined, the median content and concentration coefficients were calculated, on the basis of which the source located in the Hoverla tract (the village of Lugi, Chornohirsky massif) was singled out CBR) has a content of cadmium, 20 times, lead — 9 times, and arsenic and chromium — 5 times higher than background. The possibility of enrichment of spring waters with microcomponents due to their inflow into underground waters from polymetallic ore deposits is considered.
