Abstract
In the southern part of the Khadzhibey Liman in the warm period, and in Odesa Bay in the cold period of the year, the wastewater from BTS “Pivnichna” is brought in, which leads to bacterial contamination of these ecosystems. The aim of the work was to provide a sanitary and microbiological assessment of the quality of the bottom sediments in the southern part of the Khadzhibey Liman and Odesa Bay in summer 2016 and to assess the distribution of saprotrophic and coliform bacteria under conditions of sewage discharge. Methods. We used methods of general microbiology in determining the number of bacteria. Results. As a result of the research, it was revealed that insufficiently treated wastewaters of BTS “Pivnichna” enter the southern part of the Khadzhibey Liman and Odesa Bay, which leads to the accumulation of opportunistic bacteria in the bottom sediments. The largest number of coliform bacteria in the bottom sediments of the southern part of the Khadzhibey Liman and the shallow part of the Odessa Bay was observed near the place of sewage release from BTS “Pivnichna” in the investigated water areas – 4 ∙ 10³ CFU∙g−1 and 4.35 ∙ 10³ CFU∙g−1, respectively, with decrease towards zero as the distance increased. The majority of the stations (<55%) of the bottom sediments of the southern part of the Khadzhibey Liman belonged to the slightly contaminated class by the number of saprotrophic bacteria, and Odesa Bay – to the sufficiently pure class. Conclusion. The emergency discharge of the waters of the Khadzhibey Liman into Odesa Bay during the warm season may lead to an unfavorable sanitary situation within the boundaries of population water use and may pose a threat to human health. It is necessary to clean the wastewater discharged from BTS “Pivnichna” in accordance with regulatory documents and discharge it outside the boundaries of population water use, that is, at a distance of more than 2 miles from the waterfront.
