Urbane Geochemie: Prozesse, Muster und Auswirkungen auf die menschliche Gesundheit

  • Chapter
Geochemie und Umwelt

Zusammenfassung

Kulturlandschaften sind von Aktivitäten wie Bergbau, Verhüttung, Exploration, Nutzung fossiler Brennstoffe usw. geprägt, die mit der Errichtung und Funktionsweise anthropogener Systeme verknüpft sind (Transport, Landwirtschaft, Städte etc.). Eine Diskussion der Geochemie auf globalem oder regionalem Maßstab bedarf inzwischen der sorgfältigen Analyse der Energie-und Stoffflüsse innerhalb dieser Kulturlandschaften. Seit Beginn der antiken Zivilisation veränderten Bergbau, Verhüttung und der wirtschaftliche Umgang mit verschiedenen Mineralen die Spurenelementzusammensetzung von Böden und Sedimenten in globalem Maßstab. Dieser Beitrag erörtert solche Veränderungen und deren Auswirkungen und bewertet sie im Hinblick auf Kulturlandschaften und deren Bewohner.
