Synopsis

The first reference to focus on human health from a soils perspective, this book discusses human health as a product of soil health. Authors discuss how soils influence human health in a variety of ways, including the supply of nutrients, presence of toxic materials and pathogens, and other factors such as medicines and climate change. Chapters cover soil elements and human health, soil water, geophagy, organic pollutants in soil, medicinal uses of soils, pathogens in soil, radioactive elements/issues in soil, soil degradation, soil-based public health recommendations, heavy metals in soil, food security, and climate change.
