Based on results of several expeditions, carried out in 2001–2014, ideas about the total suspended matter (TSM) sources were obtained. The main features of the TSM concentration field structure in the Kerch Strait waters were revealed. It was shown, that the natural TSM field is being significantly distorted by anthropogenic impact. The most significant anthropogenic TSM sources include the operating ports on the Kerch Strait and in the Sea of Azov shores, industrial enterprises, sewage collectors, cargo terminals and landfill sites. The spatial scale of their effect was estimated. It was found, that the waters with excess TSM content are also saturated by dissolved organic matter (DOM) of anthropogenic origin. In the Kerch Strait, a frontal section in the TSM concentration field was found. It was revealed that depending on the Strait waters pollution degree the frontal section in the TSM field content cannot always be sufficiently viewed. It changes shape, shifts relative to thermohaline front and sometimes changes the horizontal gradient sign. It is found that the Black and the Sea of Azov waters have qualitatively different signs of total suspended matter vertical stratification. The Sea of Azov waters, unexposed to anthropogenic impact are characterized by non-monotonic TSM distribution. The TSM streams from the Sea of Azov contain the lenses of high TSM content, which alternate with the lenses of low TSM content.
