Erionite was first named by Eakle (1898); It
constitutes a single and 6-ringed, fibrous, bundled member of group-2 of
zeolites. It has been epidemiologically revealed that this mineral has a
carcinogenic effect on living things due to its crystalline structure.
In this study, toxic element contents of
Nevşehir Province and its surroundings were investigated and evaluated. In
particular, erionite, which is a zeolite group mineral in the volcanic tuff
rocks in the region, has been discussed. The samples taken from the determined
regions were evaluated by mineralogy and chemical analysis. By revealing the
health problems of the people living in the region, precautions and solutions
that can be taken for the region are presented. The fact that the necessary
importance is not given to human health in Nevşehir Province and its
surroundings, which is the research region, reveals the purpose of the study.
