САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

The presence of organic substances in soil or peloid and their concentration are very important parameters of the features and qualities of peloid. The peloid from Sutomore turned out to be particularly interesting because so far no similar research has been done with it, nor has it been used on a larger scale for the treatment of patients compared to the other two peloids from Montenegro – from Igalo and Ulcinj. As it is known that the medicinal composition of peloid is influenced by the content of organic components in it, we determined the total organic matter content in two peloids – from Sutomore and Igalo. Based on the determination of the total organic substance, it is possible to determine the content of the total organic carbon, which we also did and concluded that both peloids according to the content of organic substances are classified as peloids with a high content of organic matter.
