Currently, the disease is attributed to particles that are believed to move through the skin and into the lymphatic system causing swelling of the lower legs. Identity of these particles or their composition remains unclear, though the presence of silicon and/or aluminum is often noted and frequently cited as causal agents. We applied multivariate analyses to the bedrock compositions of a large set of cases from an online database in an effort to identify underlying patterns or combinations of relative element abundances associated with podoconiosis-endemic regions. Using a combination of principal component analysis, discriminant function analysis, and ANOVA, we analyzed ten oxides from five regions on the African continent known to be associated with podoconiosis. The Hawaiian Islands were included as a control group since they are not known to have cases of podoconiosis despite similarity in geology and agricultural practices. Our analyses suggest that a unique alkaline- and silicon-rich geochemistry underlies regions associated with podoconiosis. Our results also imply that minerals enriched in incompatible elements, such as Ca, K, Mg, and Na, may be stronger predictors of the presence of the disease than either silicon or aluminum.

Fowler, 1995, The relation of diagenetic clays and sulfates to the treatment of coal bed methane reservoirs: paper number SPE 30736, preseented at the 1995 SPE annual meeting, October, 1995, pp. 363-372. Field procedures and laboratory experiments to stimulate production from coalbed methane reservoirs have largely been designed from experience with fractured reservoirs and coal geochemistry. This paper describes experiments to investigate the occurrence of cements in the permeability pathways in coal samples from mines and cores and how these diagenetic materials interact with completion and stimulation fluids based on core flow tests. Core flow testing of coals generally suggests damage by polymers and stimulation by several acids. Examination of cleat surfaces from teh Mary Lee and Black Creek coal seams in the Black Warrior Basin and Fruitland coal from the San Juan Basin by light microscopy, SEM, and XRD analyses show the presence of carbonate, quartz, and iron sulfide cements in impermeable cleats and quartz, illite, kaolinite, barite, gypsum, and iron sulfates in permeable fractures. Fracture morphology is also complex with many branching shapes and surface textures. Illite is typically the most abundant clay and is also interlaminated with or interspersed in the coal. Kaolinite is most likely to migrate and its occurrence in meniscus forms and packed against steps in the cleats document mobility. Coal fines are also present in the cleats, concentrated with clays at steps and bends in the cleats. Injection of fluorescin tagged guar through coal plugs demonstrated the polymer''''s affinity for clay and identified permeability pathways in coal. (10/1995)
