Abstract
The stability of the cycles of biogenic elements in water bodies is a determining factor of ecological stability, the use of modern methods of chemical control and software of statistical allows to investigate the variability of the signs of the content of biogenic elements and to establish the inherent correlations of the forms of the content of the relevant biogenic elements, which during further observation will reveal possible changes under the influence of natural or anthropogenic factors and take appropriate corective measures. The study carried out a systematic analysis of the total content of inorganic (TIC) and organic (TOC) forms of carbon in the water of the Styr River in the zone of influence of the Rivne NPP return water discharges, revealed seasons of variability, correlations of the content. Based on the widespread carbonate rocks of the Styr Basin lithology, we expected that TIC would be the dominant form of TC. The results of the study are initial data for further monitoring of the C cycle in the waters of the Styr River and possible trends in its changes, including changes due to the influence of anthropogenic factors of Rivne NPP discharge waters.
