Diet and Health examines the many complex issues concerning diet and its role in increasing or decreasing the risk of chronic disease. It proposes dietary recommendations for reducing the risk of the major diseases and causes of death today: atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (including heart attack and stroke), cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, and dental caries.

This book focuses on the environmental property of minerals including mineralogical record of environmental changes, mineralogical influence on the environmental quality, mineralogical evaluation of the environment, mineralogical processing of environmental pollutants and interaction between minerals and microbes. Understanding of the environmental property of minerals is a good supplement to the traditional concept of “mineral”. By demonstrating plenty of case studies with easy-to-understand figures and tables, this book introduces the environmental effects of interaction between minerals and microbes, physiological and ecological effects of biomineralization, reductive precipitation property of iron sulfide minerals, photocatalytic reduction property of sphalerite, photocatalytic oxidation property of rutile, tubular structure property of chrysotile, tunnel structure property of K-feldspar tetrahedron, tunnel structure property of cryptomelane octahedron, nano property of cryptomelane, crystallization property of jarosite, interaction between semiconducting minerals and microbes, pathological mineralization of human body, mineralogical processing of inorganic pollutants, mineralogical degradation of organic pollutants, mineralogical purification of smoke-type pollutants, mineralogical evaluation of soil environmental quality, mineralogical prevention and control of waste pollutants and mineralogical processing of mine tailings. The book is written for environmental mineralogist as well as postgraduates majoring in environmental science.

Low-temperature geochemistry -- a 'hot topic' in geochemistry at present -- deals with geological and chemical processes and the geochemical evolution of elements in nature below 200C, including the geochemical behaviour of elements in the processes of their extraction, remobilization, transport and mineralization at room temperature and below 0C. This book focuses on the low-temperature geochemical behaviour of precious metals, REE, some individual dispersed elements and some non-metallic elements and their minergenesis at low-temperatures. The book deals with the following topics: 1) geochemistry of selected low-temperature deposits or prospects (horizons); 2) geochemistry of elements during diagenesis, buried metamorphism and low-grade metamorphism; 3) remobilization, transport and precipitation of some ore-forming elements under low-temperature conditions; 4) water/rock interactions in low-temperature open systems

623435-28a.gifVolume A deals with the dynamics, mobility and transformation of pollutants and nutrients. Soil is a dynamic system in which soil minerals constantly interact with organic matter and microorganisms. Close association among abiotic and biotic entities governs several chemical and biogeochemical processes and affects bioavailability, speciation, toxicity, transformations and transport of xenobiotics and organics in soil environments. This book elaborates critical research and an integrated view on basic aspects of mineral weathering reactions; formation and surface reactivity of soil minerals with respect to nutrients and environmental pollutants; dynamics and transformation of metals, metalloids, and natural and anthropogenic organics; effects of soil colloids on microorganisms and immobilization and activity of enzymes, and metabolic processes, growth and ecology of microbes. It offers up-to-date information on the impact of such a processes on soil development, agricultural production, environmental protection, and ecosystem integrity.

In many cases, the application of in situ technologies evolved as a necessity from a cost perspective. However, the basic understanding of the mechanisms and theory behind these technologies was treated as a "black box." Although we have seen some tremendous successes in the application of remediation technologies over the past several years, we have also seen many cases in which a technology has been incorrectly or inappropriately applied. In most cases, this misapplication has been the result of a poor understanding of the basic concepts and mechanisms behind the technologies. Without proper understanding, the potential for misapplication of technologies remains a serious economic and technical threat.
