YKA **************************************** *1. Essentials of Medical Geology: Impacts of the Natural Environment on Public Health* by: *Olle Selinus* * Publisher: Academic Press * Number Of Pages: 832, 19 MB, PDF * Publication Date: 2005-01-25 * Link: *http://ifile.it/5dtfhi8/0126363412.zip* Description: This authoritative reference volume emphasizes the importance and interrelationships of geological processes to the health and diseases of humans and animals. Its accessible format fosters better communication between the health and geoscience communities by elucidating the geologic origins and flow of toxic elements in the environment that lead to human exposure through the consumption of food and water. For example, problems of excess intake from drinking water have been encountered for several inorganic compounds, including fluoride in Africa and India; arsenic in certain areas of Argentina, Chile, and Taiwan; selenium in seleniferous areas in the U.S., Venezuela, and China; and nitrate in agricultural areas with heavy use of fertilizers. Environmental influences on vector borne diseases and stormflow water quality influences are also featured. Numerous examples of the environmental influences on human health from across the globe are also presented and discussed in this volume. * Covers recent advances and future research topics at the intersection of environmental science and public health * Developed by 60 experts from 20 countries and edited by professionals from the International Working Group on Medical Geology * Includes 200+ color photographs and illustrations * Organizes information in a highly structured format for easy reference * Written for a broad audience, ranging from students, researchers, and medical professionals to policymakers and the general public *2. Medical Geology, Volume 2: Effects of Geological Environments on Human Health (Developments in Earth and Environmental Sciences)* by: *M. M. Komatina* # Publisher: Elsevier Science # Number Of Pages: 502, 31 MB, PDF # Publication Date: 2004-03-31 # Link *http://ifile.it/eubcwt4/0444516158.zip* Description: Geology, one of the basic natural sciences, is proving to be of outstanding importance in solving problems relating to: * agriculture * exploitation of the Earth's mineral resources * environmental issues * soil preservation * water * energy and other resources * protection against natural disasters (landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes) as well as human health. The main objective of the book Medical Geology: Effects of Geological Environments on Human Health is to show how the geological environment affects human health and to explore preventative methods for improvement. This monograph consists of the following five segments: * Introduction * Geological and other factors and their influence on the human health * Subject, tasks and methods of geomedical discipline * Regional medical geology * Applied medical geology The topics covered in this book will be of interest to a wide circle of readers, including geologists, doctors, biologists, ecologists, planners and many others who are dedicated to the quality and protection of human health. **************************************** 2009/3/5 miko <m...@cbn.net.id> > Mas Yo dan rekan-rekan Gem-Lovers yang budiman, > > Alhamdulilah, pancingan mang Okim yang umpannya mineral Mesolite akhirnya > nyangkut juga.
