Abstract

The Pink Lagoon in Torrevieja is found in the Bajo Segura region of the province of Alicante (Spain). This exorheic lake of marine sedimentary origin was connected to the Mediterranean Sea up until Quaternary times. Today it acts as a salt flat, receiving water from its neighbouring Lagoon La Mata and brine from washing of the El Pinoso quarry. The purpose of the work is to study its environmental resources: the factors of the climate, the physicochemical properties and the composition of the waters, the thermal and textural characteristics of the natural peloid, and assess their possible use as thalassotherapeutic agents. The results obtained: marine climate; hypothermal water of strong mineralization (390 g/l), hypersaline, rich in magnesium sodium chloride and extremely hard; and lime muds of mineral sediment mainly organic with a low water content and scarce hardness and adhesiveness. They allow their application in thalassotherapy, obtaining the best results in musculoskeletal and skin disorders.

托雷维耶哈粉红泻湖的气候、水和球体评价及其在海洋疗法中的应用前景。

托雷维耶哈的粉红泻湖位于阿利坎特省（西班牙）的巴霍塞古拉地区。直到第四纪，这个海洋沉积起源的湖一直与地中海相连。今天，它作为一个盐滩，从邻近的拉玛塔泻湖接收水，从埃尔皮诺索采石场洗涤的盐水。本工作的目的是研究其环境资源：气候因素，水体的理化性质和组成，天然球体的热特性和质地特征，并评估其作为海洋治疗剂的可能性。得到的结果是：海洋气候；矿化强（390 g/l）、高盐、富含氯化镁钠、极硬的低温水；而石灰泥以有机矿物沉积物为主，含水量低，硬度和黏性稀缺。它们允许将其应用于丘脑疗法，在肌肉骨骼和皮肤疾病中获得最佳效果。

期刊介绍： The Journal publishes original research papers, review articles and short communications on studies examining the interactions between living organisms and factors of the natural and artificial atmospheric environment. Living organisms extend from single cell organisms, to plants and animals, including humans. The atmospheric environment includes climate and weather, electromagnetic radiation, and chemical and biological pollutants. The journal embraces basic and applied research and practical aspects such as living conditions, agriculture, forestry, and health. The journal is published for the International Society of Biometeorology, and most membership categories include a subscription to the Journal.
