Одеса,20-28 серпня,2006 р.-Одеса:Астрапринт,2006Population growth and the resultant acceleration of domestic,municipal, industrial,agricultural and recreational activity are the primary causes of anthropogenic pollution of the marine realm(Yanko et al., 1999).Such pollution produces numerous obvious biological effects, including diseases in plant and animal species,local or complete extinction of some species,changes in community structure,and loss or modification of habitat,as well as human health complications.The marine environment,as the ultimate destination of virtually all terrestrial runoff,is especially affected by pollution,and the shallow nearshore marine environment is particularly subject to frequent and extensive industrial and municipal pollution.Marine protozoa,especially Foraminifera,play a significant role in global biogeochemical cycles of inorganic and organic compounds,making them one of the most important animal groups on earth.enforaminiferaldiversitymorphological deformitiesiron sulfidesBenthic foraminifera as indicators of pollution in the north-western part of the Black SeaArticle
