Samenvatting:

Selenium is arguably the naturally occurring trace element of greatest concern worldwide. In excessive amounts it can lead to toxicosis and teratogenesis in animals, while the impact of selenium deficiency can be even more significant. Contributors from many countries explored the connections and inter-relationships between selenium in the environment, agriculture, human and animal health, and molecular and biochemistry processes to complete this book. The text represents glimpses of the presentations delivered at the 4th International Conference on Selenium in the Environment and Human Health in 2015 in Cuiaba, Brazil.
