It was shown that water and sediments are contaminated mainly by the organic substances, in particular oil products, and demonstrate toxic effect. Partial detoxification of contaminants occurs downstream the cascade. The most polluted lake in the system is Lugove and the least polluted are Kyrylivske and Iordanske. %8 2020-07-28
