Environmental geochemistry: introduction

Assessing the physical, geographic, chemical, and geological aspects are important to understand environmental impacts as well as health concerns in view of building a more sustainable planet with circular economies that would last for the foreseeable future. In the recent years, the significance of incorporating ecosystem, anthropogenic activities, and climate has fortified from being an academic concern (e.g., WEF, 2011) into a broadly societal concern as the forecasted realities of environmental deterioration and global climate change come to pass, creating urgent public and environmental health issues. The degree and difficulty of these issues, especially within the broader narrative of a ballooning world population and unsustainable consumption patterns, need a harmonized, multidisciplinary, and global effort to increase public attentiveness, and also develop a reasonable response. Researchers, authorities, global managers, policy creators, international governments, stakeholders, and concerned citizens have become aware of the urgent need to address the profound and enduring challenges. In this context, nano-geoscience opens a new avenue to understand a wide range of environmental concerns. Markedly, the most important claims of nano-mineralogy are geared toward the ecologically benign effects of air quality, water, and soil
