Abstract

This is the second six-month progress report on studies in environmental geochemistry in the State of Missouri initiated on behalf of the Environmental Health Surveillance Project in July, 1969. The studies are being made in support of epidemiological investigations of the Surveillance Project to provide general information pertaining to the occurrence and distribution of chemical elements in rocks, soils, plants, and water throughout the State. Emphasis is placed on the occurrence and distribution of elements in the natural environment, though studies of the effects of some types of chemical pollution are necessarily included. The objectives and plans for the three phases of the Survey that are directed at the rocks, soils, and vegetation are described in the progress report for the first six-month period; those for the phase of the project concerned with the water are described by Gerald L. Feder in a later section of the present report. The addition of this latter phase significantly expands the scope of our study and increases its relevance to studies of human and animal health. Mr. Feder has a valuable background in the geology and hydrology of Missouri, and we are most pleased that he has joined us in this effort.
