Geogenic factors as drivers of microbial community diversity in soils overlying polymetallic deposits

open access: yes, 2019
This study shows that the geogenic factors landform, lithology, and underlying mineral deposits (expressed by elevated metal concentrations in overlying soils) are key drivers of microbial community diversity in naturally metal-rich Australian soils with

Integrated geomicrobiological controls on arsenic and per- and polyfluoroalkyl in Gangetic aquifer: Legacy and emerging threats to drinking water

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Science, Health & Sustainability
Groundwater contamination by arsenic (As) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represents one of the most pressing environmental and public health challenges globally. While As contamination is predominantly geogenic and widespread in alluvial

The lung response to geogenic particles was characterised by acute (6 hours post-exposure) inflammation and long term (7 days post-exposure) deficits in lung function.

open access: yes, 2014
Mean(SD) scores for Factor 1 (inflammation, left) and Factor 2 (lung function, right) for all mice exposed to geogenic PM10 obtained following principal components factor analysis.
