Welcome to the MEDGEO 2019

DEAR COLLEAGUES!

On behalf of the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the China-Ireland Concord of IMGA, we are delighted to invite you to participate in MEDGEO 2019: the 8th International Conference on Medical Geology, to be held in Guiyang, China, during August 12–15, 2019 (Conference website: www.medgeo2019.com).

The Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGCAS) hosts the Conference with the support of the Guangzhou University, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), National University of Ireland(Galway), Guizhou Medical University and the International Medical Geology Association (IMGA).

The IGCAS was founded in 1966, which is the one of the world leading research institutions in environmental geochemistry, ore deposit geochemistry, experimental geochemistry, and lunar and planetary science. In 1989, the State Key Laboratory of Environmental Geochemistry (SKLEG) was founded, which was officially approved by the state authority in 1995. It has a long history of studying the relationships between natural geological factors and the endemic diseases. At present time, heavy metal pollution and human health is the main research field of SKLEG.

Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou province of Southwest China, well-known as China's first “Forest City” and one of the best summer resorts, with an area of 8,034 square kilometers and a population of 4.3 million. The Mountain Park-Colorful Guizhou is abundant on natural beauties and resources as well as ethnic customs. The Karst landscape in Libo, the Red Cliff in Chishui, and the Huangguoshu Waterfall will surely impress you. Qing Yan Ancient town, Xijiang Miao Village, and Zhaoxing Dong village are famous for traditional minority culture. Guizhou is the homeland of National liquor-Moutai and paradise of Chinese snacks.

MEDGEO conferences are held once every two years, providing a unique opportunity to share new research progress on medical geology and make friends for further international cooperation. The Conference will include workshops, plenary lectures, general lectures as well as fieldtrips, which will give the participants better understanding of the main issues on medical geology.

We look forward to seeing you in Guiyang in 2019! Faithfully yours,

The volunteer will remind the speaker when 5 min left. The PPT file should be opened in Microsoft Office Version 2010. Please copy PPT file at the registration desk or before the start of the session. Logistics & Guidelines - Poster Presentations Presenters are expected to be present at their posters during the dedicated poster session times, to be determined closer to the conference. The exact location of each poster presentation will be listed in the final program. Posters must be in portrait orientation (vertical) and not exceed 1.2 meters tall and by 0.8 meters wide. Posters in landscape orientation (horizontal) will not fit on the poster boards being used at the conference. Every presenter will get their own number, and then they can paste the poster at correct place. Poster boards are laminated. Use double-sided adhesive tape or binder clips to attach your poster to the board. Double-sided adhesive tape and binder clips will be available on-site. You are responsible for set-up and take down of your own poster. Posters must be mounted by the author(s) and may not be mailed in advance. Unclaimed posters are not the responsibility of the conference organizers, planner, or conference center staff and will be disposed following the conference. You will be notified of the set up and tear down times closer to the conference. Suggestions for effective posters: Letters and numbers should be large enough to be readable from 1.5 m. For example, font size recommendations for Arial font: Title = 72pt; Author and affiliation =48pt; Text =36pt. Use simple typeface and use bold type for headings. Use bullets, and keep text to a minimum. Don’t crowd information onto the poster. Keep figures and tables simple. Use a simple background and color scheme that does not detract from the information being presented. Excessive use of organization logos or advertisements is discouraged. If possible, provide miniaturized copies of the poster (e.g., 22 cm x 28 cm) and your business card. Provide an envelope where people can leave their business card for requesting additional information.

An Introduction to Medical Geology

Natural materials such as rocks, minerals, soil, natural dust, and uncontaminated water as well as geologic processes such as volcanoes and earthquakes have and continue to adversely impact health of people in China and around the world. In this short course we will examine these geologic materials and processes to explore the varied and surprising ways they impact human and animal health, usually causing widespread and severe health problems but also producing unanticipated beneficial effects. Principal topics covered will include: basics of toxicology; an overview of geologic materials and processes; examples of how trace elements, minerals, and ambient dust impact human health; examples of how climate change and complex industries such as the coal sector impact human health; examples of how geoscientists and biomedical/public health researchers are teaming to find practical solutions to health problems. Many of the examples used will come from Guizhou Province and other regions of China. Some new initiatives in global health security, such as One Health, Total Health, Planetary Health and its relevance to Medical Geology, along with computer-aided health data analyses will also be discussed.
