ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH SCIE

中文简介

环境地球化学与健康学科建立并解释了地球表面的自然或受干扰的化学成分与植物、动物和人的健康之间的联系。有益的元素调节或促进酶和激素的活性，而其他元素可能是有毒的。基岩地球化学控制着土壤的组成，因此也控制着水和植被的组成。讨论了开采和利用矿产资源所产生的污染等环境问题。研究了进入地球地球化学系统的污染物的影响。土壤、水和植物的地球化学调查显示了主要元素和微量元素在地理上的分布情况。相关的流行病学研究揭示了自然或受干扰的地球化学环境与疾病之间可能存在因果关系。实验研究阐明了自然或扰动地球化学过程的性质或后果。《环境地球化学与健康》出版环境地球化学广泛领域的原始研究论文、简短通讯、评论论文、专题论文集和专题问题。论文可以是理论性的，解释性的，也可以是实验性的。报道包括直接联系健康和环境的论文。但是，不应提交只对当地有兴趣的论文，也不应提出关于处理环境地球化学和健康问题的国际知识。在研究局部地球化学问题时，简单地复制已知知识或技术的文章通常不经审查就会被拒绝详情请参阅该期刊的宗旨和范围。本刊不收版面费。所有2014年2月1日以后接受的文章将在网上和印刷版免费提供颜色。

英文简介

The discipline of environmental geochemistry and health establishes and explains links between the natural or disturbed chemical composition of the earth’s surface and the health of plants, animals and people. Beneficial elements regulate or promote enzymatic and hormonal activity whereas other elements may be toxic. Bedrock geochemistry controls the composition of soil and hence that of water and vegetation. Environmental issues, such as pollution, arising from the extraction and use of mineral resources, are discussed. The effects of contaminants introduced into the earth’s geochemical systems are examined. Geochemical surveys of soil, water and plants show how major and trace elements are distributed geographically. Associated epidemiological studies reveal the possibility of causal links between the natural or disturbed geochemical environment and disease. Experimental research illuminates the nature or consequences of natural or disturbed geochemical processes.Environmental Geochemistry and Health publishes original research papers, short communications, review papers, topical collections of papers and special issues across the broad field of environmental geochemistry. Papers may be theoretical, interpretative or experimental. Coverage includes papers that directly link health and the environment. However, papers should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge on addressing environmental geochemistry and health issues. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local geochemical problem will normally be rejected without reviewPlease see the Aims and Scope of the journal for full details.There are no page charges to publish in this journal.All articles accepted after February 1, 2014 will have free color online and in print.
