Abstract

Early studies on the possible influences of environmental geochemistry and health were concerned with major diseases such as cancer or multiple sclerosis. They were generally confined to simple comparisons of geochemical and epidemiological maps and corresponding rural areas. Subsequently, studies of dental health produced evidence for the roles of environmental fluoride, selenium, molybdenum and lead in the aetiology of caries. In recent decades lead has been closely studied. Most people in the western world live in urban areas, rather than rural areas, and research on lead has yielded much information on the distribution of the element in streets, parks and gardens of cities and in the home environment. The role of lead in human health has thereby been better understood. Cadmium, selenium and aluminium are good candidates for future study but success will depend on applying appropriate methods of investigation and here the experiences from research on lead are a valuable model to follow.
