关于此电子书

Calcium and magnesium are abundant in groundwater, but the role of groundwater as the essential source of these important nutrients is very often neglected. Hydrogeochemical studies have focused mainly on the distribution and behaviour of constituents that cause deterioration of water quality, such as: nitrate, nitrite or iron and manganese. Theref

She received an award for her doctoral thesis: “Hydrogeochemical changes in the Czestochowa region caused by the flooding of the iron mines” from the International Mine Water Association in the category: Hydrochemistry. She is engaged in a wide range of hydrogeological studies including: regional hydrogeology, aquifer pollution and protection, hydrogeochemical modeling, CO2 storage in geological formations, acid mine waters and mineral waters and is also interested in medical geology. She is a regional editor of the Hydrogeological Map of Poland, author of 33 and co-author of 58 articles and co-author of 6 books and was an editor of the IAH SP volume “Nitrate in Groundwaters”.

She was a chairman of the seminar “Calcium and magnesium in groundwater – distribution and significance” in Katowice in 2012, and is author of 3 and co-author of 5 articles on the importance of water chemistry and pollution for human health.
