Title: Recent Progress in Medical Geology

Medical Geology is defined as the science dealing with the relationship between geological factors and health problems in humans, animals and plants. The International Medical Geology Association (IMGA) aims to provide a network and a forum to characterise the properties of geological processes and agents, the dispersal of geological material and their effects on human populations. MEDGEO series conferences are held by IMGA once every two years, and the 8th International Conference on Medical Geology is held in Guiyang, China, during August 12–15, 2019. To exhibit the recent progress on medical geology, we organized special issue in the journal of "Environmental Geochemistry and Health". We kindly invite you to consider submitting your full paper (either a comprehensive review or full research paper) to this special issue.
