1. 1A. Geoscience methods in medical geology -- 1A2. Evaluating geoavailability -- 1A3. Isotope techniques used in biomedical studies -- 1B. Biomedical methods in medical geology -- 1B1. Exposure assessment -- 1B2. Bioaccessibility and bioavailability -- 1B3. Toxicology: basic toxicology methods and principles -- 1B4-Medical diagnosis -- 1C.Data sources in medical geology -- 1C1. Geoscience databases describing occurrence of key pollutants -- 1C2. Spatial analysis and GIS methods -- 1C3. Health databases -- 2. 2A. Medical geology of geologic materials -- 2A1. Medical geology of water -- 2A2. Medical geology of soil -- 2A3. Medical geology of dust -- 2A4. Medical geology of ore mining -- 2A5. Health impacts of asbestos -- 2A6. Volcanic emissions -- 2B. Medical geology of energy use -- 2B1. Coal -- 2B2. Fracking and other unconventional oil and gas -- 2B3. Radioactivity -- 2C. Impacts -- 2C1. Impacts of geology on animal health -- 2C2. Occupational issues -- 2C3. Essential element deficiencies -- 2C4. Environmental justice -- 2C5. Benefits -- 2C6. Urban medical geology/legacy of natural disasters -- 2C7. Medical geology of indigenous people -- 2C8. Climate change and medical geology -- 3. Case Studies [TBD] .

This edited volume provides a framework for integrating methods and information drawn from geological and medical sciences and provides case studies in medical geology to illustrate the usefulness of this framework for crafting environmental and public health policies related to natural materials. The relevance of medical geology research to policy decisions is a topic rarely discussed, and this volume attempts to be a unique source for researchers and policy makers in the field of medical geology in addressing this gap in practical medical geology applications. The book's four sections establish this framework in detail using risk assessment, case studies, data analyses and specific medical geology techniques. Following an introduction to medical geology in the context of risk assessment and risk management, the second section discusses specific methods used in medical geology in the categories of geoscience, biomedicine, and data sources. The third section discusses the medical geology of natural materials, energy use, and environmental and workplace impacts. This section includes specific case studies in medical geology, and describes how the methods and data from the previous section are used in a medical geology analysis. The fourth section includes a guide to the medical geology literature and provides some examples of medical geology programs in Asia and Africa.
