Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geology and Health is an integration of papers from geo-bio-chemical scientists on health issues of concern to humankind worldwide, demonstrating how the health and well-being of populations now and in the future can benefit through coordinated scientific efforts. International examples on dusts, coal, arsenic, fluorine, lead, mercury, and water borne chemicals, that lead to health effects are documented and explored. They were selected to illustrate how hazards and potential hazards may be from natural materials and processes and how anthropomorphic changes may have contributed to disease and debilitation instead of solutions. Introductory essays by the editors highlight some of the progress toward scientific integration that could be applied to other geographic sites and research efforts. A global purview and integration of earth and health sciences expertise could benefit the future of populations from many countries. Effective solutions to combat present and future hazards will arise when the full scope of human interactions with the total environment is appreciated by the wide range of people in positions to make important and probably expensive decisions. A case to illustrate the point of necessary crossover between Geology and Health was the drilling of shallow tube wells in Bangladesh to provide non-contaminated ground water. This "good" solution unfortunately mobilized arsenic from rocks into the aquifer and created an unforeseen or 'silent' hazard: arsenic. Geologists produce maps of earth materials and are concerned with natural processes in the environment with long time-frame horizons. The health effects encountered through changing the water source might have been avoided if the hydrological characteristics of the Bangladesh delta had been known and any chemical hazards had been investigated and documented. A recurrence of this type of oversight should be avoidable when responsible parties, often government officials, appreciate the necessity of such integrated efforts. The book extols the virtues of cooperation between the earth, life and health sciences, as the most practical approach to better public health worldwide.

Download or read book Geohazards written by Nicholas K. Coch and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-colour book on the market and the only text to thoroughly cover both geologic hazards and environmental problems. Extremely current and up-to-date coverage of volcanoes, earthquakes, flooding, landslides along with separate chapters on pollution, surface water, ground water, landslides, subsidence/ collapse, air pollution, and comprehensive four-chapter treatment of coastal zones. Unique full-color art program. Contains a wealth of instructive photographs and illustrations to engage students and bring the material to life. Offers many conceptual diagrams on hazard processes never treated before such as how levees fail, liquefaction in earthquakes, pollution processes in estuaries, dredging effects and pollutant concentration. Explores the fundamental environmental principles and internal and external geologic processes early (in the first 3 chapters) to provide students, especially non-majors, with a sound, basic geologic background. Examples in book have been chosen to be as geographically diverse as possible. For example, the chapter on estuaries discusses New York Harbor, Charleston Harbor, and San Francisco Bay. Unique - includes detailed coverage of Hurricanes -
