- Abstract
Evidence is presented that the condition of the hydrological systems around the oilfields of Albania is very poor, being deeply affected by on-going oil extraction. The recent positive developments in the hydrocarbon industry are mitigated greatly by the pollution assessment reported here. The data show that the oil industry plays a major role in environmental contamination, particularly around the oilfields near the two refineries in Balish and Fier.
