Article Synopsis
- The study investigated pollution signatures in marsh sediments of the Odiel-Tinto Estuary to guide restoration efforts, focusing on various pollution sources like acid mine drainage and agricultural runoff.
- We analyzed chemical elements and sediment characteristics across multiple marshes, creating spatial maps to visualize pollution distributions from different sources.
- Our findings can help identify responsible polluters, assess the most affected areas, and serve as a baseline for evaluating the future impacts of the RESTORE 2030 restoration plan.

- * It analyzed data from 805 CRC survivors using the SF-12 and FCSI questionnaires, revealing that factors like age, sex, and geographic area significantly impact both physical and mental quality of life.
- * The findings suggest that older women have the worst HRQoL scores, indicating a need to identify these factors to create strategies that improve survivorship outcomes and reduce the negative impacts of cancer.
The development of nuclear fusion as a safe and virtually limitless power source is receiving growing attention in the context of looming energy crisis and climate change. ITER project stands as the flagship international initiative and is advancing steadily. The construction of the Tokamak Complex is nearly finished, and the assembly of core components has begun on site.
