Abstract
The distribution of several ecologically important elements in Black Sea waters, suspensions, sediments and organisms was studied. The correlation analysis of the data carried out reveals a higher level of correlation along the natural process of elemental accumulation: from waters and suspended matter to the thin surface layer and, then, to sediments and living organisms. According to this conclusion a suggestion is made to perform anthropogenic studies in the marine environment mainly on sediment or biological samples where pollutants distribution can be effectively proven.Keywords
