BIOGEOCHEMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF HUMAN POPULATION HEALTH 

In 1938 A. Vinogradov published the book Biogeochemical provinces and human endemic diseases . He has analyzed the relationships of organisms and populations with geochemical structure of the biosphere. This book initiated the 

In the USSR Kovalsky showed that productivity in cattle can be correlated to the excess or deficiency of boron, cobalt, copper, molybdenum and selenium in animal feed. Similar studies were carried out in England and Ireland by Webb (Webb, 1964 Webb et al., 1966) and in USA, by Ebens (Ebens and Schaclette, 1982).
