Metal elements in environment, medicine and biology. Tome 3. Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium, October 26-28, 1998. Garban Z., Drăgan P. (ed.)

Publishing House Eurobit Timisoara (1998). – 392 p.The Symposium Metal Elements in Environment, Medicine and Biology - being at the third edition - continues the arise the interest of the scientific community from at least two distinct reasons of joining the desideration of fundamental and applicative researches.
A first aspect is represented by the inter- and multidisciplinary horizon of the moderne coceptions reffering to the mechanisms of metals translocation which stay at the base of the so-called trophic chain soil-plants-animals-humans. In this context the problems have in view biochemical and pathobiochemical, physiological and pathophysiological as well as morphological and morphopathological aspects.
The second aspect is related also to the specific inter- and multidisciplinary character of the theme but in the acceptance of the applicative sphere with practical problems involving the habitual environment of humans ( i.e. soil, water, air), macroand micronutrients, chemotherapeutical products (for human and veterinary use), pathological processes, materials utilized in prothesis and implantology, different residues with metal content discharged in the environment etc.
