Abstract

Estimation of consequences of the petroleum flood from pipeline in Usinsk has shown that in samples of the bottom sediments taken up after the leakage the concentrations of PAH of the anthropogenic origin are somehow increased, however there are not anomaly high ones. In general, anthropogenic influence is detected at the molecular markers level and it is far from being catastrophic.
