Municipal sewage waters contain different kinds <strong>of</strong> heavy metals, high amount<br />
<strong>of</strong> suspended and dissolved organic matter and nutritious salts. These loads<br />
as well as less intensive streaming within the <strong>port</strong> aquatorium are the main<br />
factors influencing the limpidity reduction, sedimentation <strong>of</strong> suspended matter<br />
and increase <strong>of</strong> nutritious matter amount within the <strong>port</strong> aquatorium, which, in<br />
conditions <strong>of</strong> increased temperature and a proper illumination <strong>of</strong> water column<br />
may lead to an accelerated overgrowing or a mass development <strong>of</strong> algae.<br />
These processes may have unfavourable impact on the sea ecosystem as<br />
well as on aesthetic properties <strong>of</strong> sea water.<br />
The <strong>port</strong> itself may load the <strong>port</strong> aquatorium by its activities, the freight<br />
tranloading from ships.<br />
Emptying <strong>of</strong> untreated waste water from the equipment maintenance facilities<br />
is a considerable source <strong>of</strong> sea pollution.<br />
Concentration <strong>of</strong> heavy metals (cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, vanadium and<br />
nickel) and polycyclic hydrocarbons in sediment <strong>of</strong> the Ploce <strong>port</strong> are<br />
characteristic for areas under a very low anthropogenic influence.<br />
Polychlorinated biphenyls have been not detected. Sediment load with heavy<br />
metals is quite possible result <strong>of</strong> discharge <strong>of</strong> untreated sewage into the <strong>port</strong>.<br />
