Abstract: | The following parameters were determined in the interstitial waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk and the Pomeranian Bay: nutrients (ammonia and phosphates), sulphates, total iron and iron(II) concentrations. Redox potential (Eh), pH, humidity and organic matter content measured as a loss on ignition were determined in bottom sediments from these regions. Interstitial waters of both regions were found to have reducing character (Eh < 250 mV). Reduction processes were more advanced in the Gulf of Gdańsk, rich in organic matter, as evidenced by lower values of the redox potential, lower Fe(III)/Fetot ratio, and incidents of sulphates exhaustion. |
