Slags are composed of iron-enriched minerals (fayalite, wüstite, hematite and goethite), while quartz, calcite and phyllosilicates are the main component of sediments. Geochemical results confirm the low capacity of thesé slags as a significant source of heavy metals to the environment}, publisher = {Sociedad Geológica de España}, title = {Vertidos de escorias en el Rio Oka (Reserva Natural de la Biosfera de Urdaíbaí, Vizcaya): Aspectos mineralógicos y geoquímicos}, title = {Slag dumpings in the Oka River (Urdaibai National Biosphere Reserve, Vizcaya): mineralógica! and geochemical characteristics}, author = {Irabien, María Jesús}, }
