• 摘要: This volume presents a range of papers by geochemists, nutritionists, medical and veterinary researchers that illustrate the relevance of environmental geochemistry to the study of human and animal health problems in developing countries. People in these areas are very dependent on localized sources of food and water, and any geochemical anomaly (enrichment or depletion) within these local environments may have a marked influence on the health of people as well as of wildlife and domesticated animals. Subjects covered in the volume reflect the breadth of the topic, ranging through animal and human health issues related to soil, plant, water and volcanic gas chemistry. The role of natural and anthropogenic influences on the environment are covered, as are the roles of geochemical mapping, monitoring and baseline identification.
