Abstract

The geochemical release is the process of chemical weathering of minerals from their parent materials. These minerals originate from naturally occurring solids which interact with the environment through their surfaces. Depending on different environmental conditions that affect these surfaces, they could release minerals and gases to the environment. These released minerals and gases could transfer through environmental interfaces. Environmental interfaces are broadly de need as any surface in equilibrium with its surrounding environment. There are various types of environmental interfaces including geochemical, atmospheric aerosols, nanomaterials, and indoor surfaces. Thus, investigating the connection between geochemical release and these varied and complex environmental interfaces is necessary to understand both beneficial and adverse effects on living organisms.
