Abstrakt: The results of biomonitoring of the Olkhovaya River (Donetsk oblast) are presented. The impact of mine sludge waste on the state of surface water was shown. The assessment of physical and chemical parameters made it possible to characterize the water in the Olkhovaya River as dirty and polluted with a large number of suspended coal particles, whose content significantly exceeded the maximum permissible standards. The decrease in the content of chlorophyll in water samples taken below the sludge drains into the riverbed was determined by the fluorimetric method. The results of analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence induction curves are presented. It was found that contamination by sludge drains leads to disruption of primary photosynthetic reactions in phytoplankton cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
