This study assessed total hydrocarbon content and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content in Grönfjord (the Greenland Sea, Svalbard). The field study was held in marine expeditions of research vessel “Barentsburg” by the North-Western Branch of the Federal State Budget Institution, Research and Production Associaton «Typhoon» in summer periods of 2012 to 2022. In the framework of the field works simultaneous measurements of hydrological and hydrochemical characteristics of the water column were done. The data was analyzed using standard procedure in purpose to gather new information about the levels of hydrocarbons (measured as total hydrocarbon contents), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The results showed pronounced interannual variations of total hydrocarbon contents and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons concentrations.

At the same time, some local elevated petroleum hydrocarbons concentrations, which were detected in the surface water layer, may be a sign of existing industrial activity affecting the waters of the fjord.
