This book includes a collection of chapters illustrating the
application of geochemical methods to investigate the interactions
between geological materials and fluids with humans. Examples
include the incorporation and human health effects of inhaling
lithogenic materials, the reactivity of biological fluids with
geological materials, and the impact on nascent biomineral
formation. Biomineralization is investigated in terms of
mineralogy, morphology, bone chemistry, and pathological
significance with a focus on the health impacts of "foreign"
geological/environmental trace element incorporation. One of the
contribution is devoted to particulate matter, the presence of
metals and metalloids in the environment, and the possibility of
using human hair as a biomarker between environmental/geological
exposure and human bioincorporation. Other chapters focus on the
last advances on the analytical methods and instrumentational
approaches to investigating the chemistry of biological fluids and
tissues.
