Luminescent Spectroscopy in Determining Oil Product Accumulation in Epishura and Bioassaying of Pollution

Luminescent spectroscopy techniques are used to study the accumulation of oil and diesel fuel in fatty inclusions in the organisms of Epishura baicalensis Sars during their incubation in water containing oil products. The role of nutrition in the accumulation and elimination of oil products is studied. It is shown that the intense luminescence of fatty inclusions in the Copepoda organisms can be used for bioassaying oil pollution.
