Abstract

The bay of Santiago de Cuba is the second in importance and contamination in the country. Aggressive waste discharges with organic and inorganic materials, heavy metals, masonry residues, grease, oils and hydrocarbons, among others, are discharged into the bay. A systematic review of databases, publications, web pages and other documents was carried out in order to find out more about contamination. Eighty-five percent of the main reports refer to organic matter contamination and waste characterization, followed by hydrocarbon contamination (15 %). This makes the work related to sustainable management in the bay insufficient.

Keywords

contaminated water, contamination, bays, hydrocarbons.
