Medical Geology, Treatments of Diseases from Earth Materials, and Geomaterials Used in Pharmaceutical Production - Paperback

by Morteza Sheshpari (Author)

The developing scientific discipline of Medical Geology has absorbed equally researchers and contributors parallel bearing in mind its exceedingly interdisciplinary aspect. It is in excess of two and half billion years from the time when the primary properties of natural life initiated to impact Earth's atmosphere, waters and continents. The branch of medical geology has sustained to develop in attention and standing over the preceding few decades. This exclusive investigation field emphases on interactions among geological settings and human being, resulting in together damaging and positive health consequences. Not astonishingly, the discipline is comprehensive and difficult, and generally needs a wide-ranging interdisciplinary attention to report the diversity of human healthiness matters and diseases explicitly associated to geological materials or earth structure events. This book delivers a model of the multiplicity noticeable through numerous study subjects. For instance, scholars continue attracted in health problems subsequently after contact to toxic minerals and absence of vital trace elements, complications by main origins in geology, either natural or anthropogenic. On the other hand, investigation generally results in health benefits that for instance are connected by hot springs and sand baths or definite well-being protecting properties interconnected to natural elements in consumed water or elements extracted from Earth minerals in pharmaceutical industries. Several elements are vital to human, animal and vegetal wellbeing in trivial dosages. Furthermost of these elements are engaged into the human organisation through nourishment, water, and air. It is the goal of this book to present the topic to students and academics both in the fields of Medicine and Geology concerned in geosphere humanoid connections.
