Medical Geology
Medical geology has only relatively recently become a recognised discipline. The publication of a number of books on the subject and the formation of several international bodies, have contributed to this development. Geoscientists, public health/biomedical researchers, chemists, geographers and veterinarians now routinely focus attention on the health issues related to natural materials and natural processes. The focus of this session is on the progress made in understanding and mitigating the health problems caused by trace elements, minerals, naturally occurring organics, radionuclides and gases.
Please note that this is preliminary and final allocations in the programme will be announced in the 5th Announcement and updated on the Website in July.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PRESENTING AUTHORS (FOR ORALS) OR AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR (FOR POSTERS) MUST BE REGISTERED FOR THE MEETING BY 31 MAY 2016 IN ORDER TO HAVE THE ABSTRACT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAMME.
