The enrichment factors (EF) of metal associated to sulphide deposits (Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb and As), in most cases, is over 2. Cu, Zn and As have much higher EF, over 10 in surficial samples. The progressive shallowness of the estuary has undergone a relative increase in acidic river water volume with respect to seawater. This effect has originated a downstream displacement of acid mixing processes affecting the estuary, which is reflected in higher metal concentration in sediments of the outer zones of the system}, publisher = {Sociedad Geológica de España}, title = {Factores de enriquecimiento metálico en sedimentos holocenos del estuario del río Tinto (SO de España)}, title = {Metal Enrichment Factors in Holocene Sediments in the Tinto River Estuary (SW Spain)}, author = {López González, Nieves and Borrego Flores, José and Carro Flores, Berta and Lozano Soria, O.}, }
