The National Environmental Agency monitors the water quality of the Black Sea continuously, every month. Hydrobiological and chemical parameters, including 13 heavy metals, total petroleum hydrocarbons, 16 polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and other physicochemical parameters, are determined during the water sampling studies at 12 points.
The research of the samples taken from the Black Sea is carried out in the accredited laboratory of ambient air, water, and soil analysis of the National Environmental Agency. The laboratory is equipped with high-precision analytical tools and fully meets modern requirements and standards.
It should be noted that, in accordance with the EU maritime strategy framework directive, the National Environmental Agency is actively working on improving the monitoring system. At this stage, the implementation of new parameter analysis methods is underway.
According to the laboratory analyses carried out by the agency, the water quality of the Black Sea is within the norm on the entire perimeter of the coast.
