Produktbeschreibung

Calcium and magnesium are abundant in groundwater, but the role of groundwater as the essential source of these important nutrients is very often neglected. Hydrogeochemical studies are focused mainly on distribution and behaviour of constituents that cause deterioration of water quality, such as: nitrate, nitrite or iron, manganese. Therefore, most recent books and papers concentrate mainly on these water components and only a small number of papers describe results of groundwater studies on valuable water components as calcium or magnesium. Calcium and magnesium are of great importance to human health and inadequate intake of either nutrient can impair health. The main objective of this IAH Selected Papers book is to present the results of the studies on calcium and magnesium in groundwater as well as their importance for human health.
