Journal Title：Environmental Geochemistry And Health

Environmental Geochemistry and Health publishes original research papers and review papers across the broad field of environmental geochemistry. 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.

The journal particularly welcomes novel research linking environmental geochemistry and health issues on such topics as: heavy metals (including mercury), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and mixed chemicals emitted through human activities, such as uncontrolled recycling of electronic-waste; waste recycling; surface-atmospheric interaction processes (natural and anthropogenic emissions, vertical transport, deposition, and physical-chemical interaction) of gases and aerosols; phytoremediation/restoration of contaminated sites; food contamination and safety; environmental effects of medicines; effects and toxicity of mixed pollutants; speciation of heavy metals/metalloids; effects of mining; disturbed geochemistry from human behavior, natural or man-made hazards; particle and nanoparticle toxicology; risk and the vulnerability of populations, etc.

《環境地球化學與健康》發表環境地球化學領域原創研究論文和評論論文。《環境地球化學與健康》建立并解釋了地球表面自然或受干擾的化學成分與植物、動物和人類健康之間的聯系。

有益元素調節或促進酶和激素活性，而其他元素則可能有毒。基巖地球化學控制土壤的成分，從而控制水和植被的成分。討論了由礦產資源開采和使用引起的環境問題，例如污染。研究了引入地球地球化學系統的污染物的影響。對土壤、水和植物的地球化學調查顯示了主要元素和微量元素在地理上的分布情況。相關的流行病學研究揭示了自然或受干擾的地球化學環境與疾病之間存在因果關系的可能性。實驗研究闡明了自然或受干擾的地球化學過程的性質或后果。

該期刊特別歡迎將環境地球化學與健康問題聯系起來的新穎研究，主題包括：重金屬（包括汞）、持久性有機污染物 (POP) 和人類活動排放的混合化學物質，例如不受控制的電子廢物回收；廢物回收；氣體和氣溶膠的地表-大氣相互作用過程（自然和人為排放、垂直輸送、沉積和物理化學相互作用）；受污染場地的植物修復/恢復；食品污染和安全；藥物的環境影響；混合污染物的影響和毒性；重金屬/準金屬的形態；采礦的影響；人類行為、自然或人為危害造成的地球化學紊亂；顆粒和納米顆粒毒理學；人群的風險和脆弱性等。

Environmental Geochemistry And Health創刊于1985年，由Springer Netherlands出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環境科學 - 工程：環境全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約3.0個月 ，影響因子指數3.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
