GEOMEDICOLOGY is a newly developed interdisciplinary field introduced by Haydar Toraman, geologist, scientist, and ethicist. It examines the complex interactions between geological processes, environmental conditions, and human health within a holistic and ethically guided framework.
The Earth is not merely a habitat but a dynamic system. Plate tectonics, volcanism, soil formation, mineral cycles, hydrological processes, and atmospheric dynamics directly influence biological systems and physiological functions. Essential trace elements such as iodine, selenium, and iron originate from geological sources and are vital for metabolism and cellular health. Conversely, geogenic contaminants such as arsenic or heavy metals can pose significant health risks.
