RT Journal Article T1 Determinación de los valores de fondo regional en sedimentos Holocenos del estuario del río Guadiana (SW de España) T1 Determination of the regional background in Holocene sediments of the Guadiana River estuary (SW of Spain) A1 Delgado Rodríguez, Joaquín María A1 Nieto Liñán, José Miguel A1 Boski, Tomasz A1 Alabardeiro, L. AB This main aim of this work is the determination of the regional background in Holocene sediments of theGuadiana River estuary. These background values are essential in order to establish the environmentalquality of the most recent sediments, and to evaluate the possible incidence that some processes associatedto human activities (acid mine drainage, urban effluents) could produce in these sediments. For this purpose,a sedimentological and geochemical characterization have been done in two sediment cores from thelower Guadiana basin, in which Al normalized concentration has been calculated for the most importantmetals and metalloids present in these sediments (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn).The resultsobtained have allowed us the determination of the regional background in these sediments YR 2008 FD 2008 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8248 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8248 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 30 may 2026
