Objetivo
The Kola River in Northern Russia, an important drinking water source and fish spawning area, is heavily polluted by sources of complex origin, which brings about a negative effect on water quality and biota in the river ecosystem as wellas in the nearby marine ecosystem of the Arctic sea. The sources environmental aspects of pollution, however, as well as spread of pollutants downstream into the Arctic Sea, are not adequately known. In the framework of the proposed project, pollution sources of the Kola River, their harmfulness and subsequent spread will be studied in detail. Policies to mitigate pollution and a protocol for more adequate water pollution control will be worked out, to be carried out by local laboratories. As wetlands appear to be very suitable for waste water purification in cold climates, possibilities for introducing this low cost technology in the area will be estimated and pilot studies will be conducted at suitable sites.
