Geology, one of the basic natural sciences, is proving to be of outstanding importance in solving problems relating to: agriculture, exploitation of the Earth's mineral resources, environmental issues, soil preservation, water, energy and other resources, and protection against natural disasters (landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes) as well as human health. The main objective of the book Medical Geology: Effects of Geological Environments on Human Health is to show how the geological environment affects human health and to explore preventative methods for improvement.
