Overview

GEOMEDICOLOGY is a newly developed interdisciplinary field introduced by Haydar Toraman, geologist, scientist, and ethicist. It examines the complex interactions between geological processes, environmental conditions, and human health within a holistic and ethically guided framework. The Earth is not merely a habitat but a dynamic system. Plate tectonics, volcanism, soil formation, mineral cycles, hydrological processes, and atmospheric dynamics directly influence biological systems and physiological functions. Essential trace elements such as iodine, selenium, and iron originate from geological sources and are vital for metabolism and cellular health. Conversely, geogenic contaminants such as arsenic or heavy metals can pose significant health risks. GEOMEDICOLOGY investigates: Soil composition and nutrient availability Groundwater chemistry and drinking water safety Air quality and climatic influences Geophysical factors such as the Earth's magnetic field and natural radiation Health impacts of natural disasters Within the 3-dimensional holistic framework (Time - Place - Ethics), health is understood as a planetary phenomenon. Sustainability, environmental responsibility, and ethical awareness are central pillars of this discipline. GEOMEDICOLOGY demonstrates that human health is inseparable from the health of the Earth.
