Vanadium as an indicator of the impact of fuel oiled thermal power plants on the environment: paleolimnological reconstructions

The article presents data on the behavior of vanadium in recent sediments from small urban lakes in the North of Russia. The works were carried out in Murmansk, Petrozavodsk and Monchegorsk. The main role in the entry of vanadium into the environment of these cities is played by emissions from thermal power plants operating on fuel oil.
