ABSTRACT

Results of the study of the influence of oil products (petrol and diesel fuel) on the cultures of blue-green and green algae are given in the paper. The following indices were taken into account in performing investigations: dynamics of algae biomass (in terms of dry matter content) and the content of chlorophyll a and carotinoids. The response of algae to the influence of oil products depended on their concentration, on the type of oil products (petrol and diesel fuel), on the duration of exposure, and also on the individual sensitivity of algae to the influence of oil products.
