Urban Geochemistry
December 2012, Vol. 8, No. 6
By 2030, about 60% of the human population will live in cities. Clearly, anthropogenic activities in urban environments affect geochemical cycles, water resources, and the health of ecosystems and humans globally. Past practices are still having biogeochemical impacts today, and in many cases remediation is needed. Both natural and manÂmade disasters greatly change the geochemistry of urban areas. Understanding past impacts can aid in future disaster planning. An increased awareness of the geochemical and mineralogical effects of urbanization on geoÂchemical cycling will aid urban planners in the effort to make urban development sustainable.
