Résumé

This discussion considers two aspects of environmental health and Quaternary geology. One aspect considers the inhalation of dusts derived from unconsolidated sediments, and the other aspect considers ingestion and the "waterfactor". Both of these aspects of environmental health require mineralogical and geochemical information regarding Quaternary sediments, and most often there are little data available.
