Abstract

High concentrations of hydrocarbons were found in ground (400–4560 mg/kg) and bottom sediments (1180–17640 mg/kg) of the industrial zone of Khabarovsk. Intense microbiological transformation of organic pollutants was confirmed by the predominance of microbial components in alkanes, by the composition of volatile organic compounds (methanol, propanol, acetaldehyde, etc.), and by the total number of heterotrophic bacteria (27‒47 million CFU/g in ground and 180 million CFU/g in bottom sediment). The contribution of carbon of chlorophyll “a” to the total organic carbon in bottom sediments (3.6–9.5%, on average 6.2%) was two times higher than in ground.
