Abstract
The study of the problem of pollution of the aquatic environment with nitrogen compounds: ammonia, nitrates and nitrites of surface and groundwater within the city of Tatarbunary, Odessa region. Water quality and pollution with nitrogen compounds are a major environmental problem for providing the population with drinking water.
The quality and quantity of groundwater are influenced by a variety of factors, including adverse weather conditions, rains, floods and flooding of the adjacent territories by the melt, sewage, and wells, due to their close location to outbuildings, composting and cesspools, which may lead to chemical contamination of drinking water by organic decomposition products.
Households are at high risk of contamination of water bodies with nitrates because they: concentrate the high proportion of livestock of the total number of animals, lack of proper storage conditions for manure and contamination of organic and mineral fertilizers of water bodies near farms.
