Abstract

The results of Russian and foreign studies on the process of eutrophication of water bodies are summarized. The main sources of export of nutrients in water bodies with catchment areas are discussed in the article. The toxins produced by blue-green algae and their effects on organisms are considered. Critical total phosphorus loads are estimated for some lakes of the Russian Federation and five largest lakes of China.
