T27. Environmental mineralogy and sustainable development

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

Environmental mineralogy investigates the risk and environmental impact of natural and synthetic mineral species thus covering a broad interdisciplinary field ranging from mineralogy to geochemistry including geology, biology, ecotoxicology, and industrial waste management. This session is focused on recent research activities dealing with minerals of environmental concern without excluding fibrous and tubular minerals as well as waste management. It will include environmental risk assessment, comprising release, diffusion, and targeting as well as remediation and rehabilitation studies. The session will also provide a forum to promote a discussion on the roleminerals play in solving environmental problems (e.g. toxic organic and inorganic elements immobilization) as well as their applications in medicine and pharmacy. Contributions analyzing the effects on human health are also welcome.

CONVENERS: Roberto Buccione (Università della Basilicata), Sonia Conte (CNR), Riccardo Fantini (Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia), Giancarlo Capitani (Università di Milano Bicocca), Michela Sturini (Università di Pavia), Maura Mancinelli (Università di Ferrara).
