Abstract—The occurrence and distribution of reduced inorganic sulfur compounds in the waters of the White
Sea and the Northern Dvina mouth are studied. Universal occurrence of micro-quantities of the above com-
pounds in the oxic marine and fluvial waters is established. The White Sea water is found to be depleted of
reduced sulfur, judging by the sum of reduced S forms (<0.5 mol), as compared with that in the water of the
Black and Baltic seas.
