Abstract

The goal of this study is to evaluate the literature on the subject of medical geology's use of minerals, emphasizing the significance and connections between geological elements and human health. An analysis of earlier studies on the subject of interest was undertaken using the results of a document-based qualitative study that clarified the geologic origins and movement of harmful components in the environment that expose humans through intake of food and water. This was done taking into account the growing interest between the health and geoscience communities in the topic. Medical geology proposes a collaboration between two unrelated fields of expertise, such as Earth sciences and biomedical sciences, and it has been established that the growth of science and technology has facilitated the creation of new research avenues requiring interdisciplinary work with the participation of experts from many disciplines of expertise. Numerous factors are taken into account, including the relationship between environment and health, which is crucial for a wide audience, including students, researchers, geologists and biomedical experts, legislators, and the general public. It has been established that the development of science and technology has facilitated the creation of new research avenues requiring interdisciplinary work with the participation of experts from many disciplines of expertise. Medical geology proposes a collaboration between two unrelated fields of expertise, such as Earth sciences and biomedical sciences. The link between the environment and health is one of many considerations, and it is vital for a large audience, including learners, scholars, geologists and biological specialists, politicians, and the general public.
