Abstract
The aim of the publication is to present a detailed explanation of the integrated criteria developed for the Methodology for identification, assessment, and ranking of the Black Sea land-based pollution sources (the Hot Spots Methodology) as well as to present results of UA land-based pollution sources ranking. The paper contains also the general description of the Hot Spots Methodology. The key focus is made on two integrated criteria for ranking of the land-based pollution sources. The first one: the degree of overall impact on water quality, which characterizes the influence of wastewater discharge on the environment based on the „effective“ mass of pollutant and the criterion of the effect of pollutant discharge on the receiving aquatic environment. Formulae used for calculation are presented in detail. The another one is the degree of local impact on water quality, which characterizes the local impact of wastewater discharge on the receiving aquatic environment taking into account the dilution of wastewater by inland or sea waters. Formulae used for calculation are presented in detail. Results of testing are presented by using UA official statistical data. Also, a general comparison of ranking the 4-top UA land-based pollution sources on various criteria are presented. Interpretation: the developed criteria were integrated into the Hot Spots Methodology. The obtained data were used for compilation of the final list of 10-top UA Hot Spots and provided to the Ministry of the Environmental Protection of Ukraine as well as to the Black Sea Commission.

Key words
Land-based pollution, Black Sea, Hot Spots Methodology, marine ecosystem
