Environmental Geochemistry And Health With Special Reference to Developing Countries (Geological Society Special Publication, No. 113)

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 water and food, and any geochemical anomaly (enrichment or depletion) within these local environments will have a marked influence on the health of people as well as of wildlife and domesticated animals.
