ISEH-ICEPH-ISEG conference

The ISEH-ICEPH-ISEG conference was held at the University of Galway in August 2024, bringing together experts in environmental science, public health, and geochemistry. The ISLANDR presentation, given by research scientist Soili Solismaa from GTK, 'Long-term soil degradation and remediation needs in the historical Outokumpu Cu-Co-Zn mining area, Finland,' was well received. The topic generated interest, as soil contamination in historical mining towns is causing environmental and health concerns. The findings were discussed in the context of historical mining impacts and potential remediation strategies.
