Although, the practice might be beneficial to the health of the consumers, its negative effects could overshadow the positive effects and might lead to detrimental health issues. The present work sought to investigate the geochemical composition as well as pH and organic matter (OM) content of geophagic materials commonly consumed in the study area. Furthermore, assessment of the potential health risk of the materials on geophagic individuals was also considered. Twelve samples were collected in the study area and analysed by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Inductively Coupled Plasma—Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for major and trace elements composition. 2023-08-09T07:38:02Z 2023-08-09T07:38:02Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10653-023-01551-6 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/8765 en application/pdf Springer
