Endemic Geochemical: How deficiency and excess of microelements affect health

Geochemical endemic is a disease that is associated with a deficiency or excess of certain trace elements in soil and water. This phenomenon can have serious consequences for the health of people, animals and vegetation.

One of the most well-known forms of Geochemical endemicity is iodine deficiency endemia. It occurs as a result of low iodine content in soil and water, which leads to thyroid diseases such as goiter. Iodine is an essential element for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and its deficiency can lead to serious disorders in the body.

Another form of endemic geochemical is fluorosis. This disease occurs as a result of excess fluoride in water and soil. The cause of this endemic may be natural and anthropogenic factors, such as the use of fluoride fertilizers or fluoride-containing industrial waste. Fluoride is an important element for dental health, but excess of this element can lead to deformation and destruction of tooth enamel.

One of the most serious forms of Geochemical endemicity is selenium deficiency endemia. This disease occurs as a result of a lack of selenium in soil and water. Selenium is an important element for the immune system and protection against free radicals, and its deficiency can lead to serious diseases such as cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy.

Endemic Geochemical may also have negative effects on vegetation and animals. For example, excess aluminum in the soil can lead to decreased yields and plant death, and excess lead can lead to poisoning of animals.

To prevent the development of endemic Geochemical, it is necessary to take into account the content of microelements in soil and water, and take measures to eliminate the deficiency or excess of certain elements. For example, to prevent iodine deficiency endemia, iodized salt can be used, and to prevent selenium deficiency endemia, selenium can be added to fertilizers.

Thus, endemic geochemical is a serious problem that requires attention from the scientific and medical communities. It is necessary to continue research in this area and develop measures to prevent the negative consequences of the Geochemical endemic on the health of people, animals and vegetation.

**Geochemical endemic**

**E., caused by a deficiency in soil and hydraulic systems and an excess in soils and waters of certain elements of mineral nutrition of plants**. Found on all continents. It is especially typical for areas where natural conditions impede the normal activity of microorganisms that participate in the mineralization of organic compounds, for example, in conditions of periodically waterlogged lands and soils. A deficiency or excess of nutrients creates a favorable environment for the development of microflora that contributes to the development of plant diseases. On soils excessively rich in phosphorus, diseases of the fruits of grain crops develop (necrosis, separosis). Magnesium in high concentrations causes liming of soils; excess iron and manganese creates unfavorable conditions in relation to the zones of the root system of cultivated plants. Environmentally determined microelementoses also cause increased phytotoxicosis when soils are polluted with pollutants. A deficiency of microelements can lead to changes in the biological structure of soils, a shift in the pH of the soil environment and a deterioration in its properties, and as a result, to a deterioration in the conditions for crop formation. In agricultural practice, positive and negative effects of microelements on plants are discovered. An increased need for basic nutrients, a lack of iron, manganese, boron, magnesium and especially copper, zinc, and molybdenum lead to inhibition of plant growth. Long-term boron deficiency causes the formation of yellowness, premature drying of shoots and leaf fall. Damage to flag flags observed
