Unfilterable "geoaerosols", their use in the search for thermal, mineral and mineralized waters, and their possible influence on the origin of certain types of mineral waters

 Many articles describing the unusual mobility of solid particles in the subsurface layers of the Earth's crust have been published in the last decades, especially in the geological literature. In an attempt to explain this phenomenon, several hypotheses have been developed. The one closest to the behavior observed in nature is based on quantum mechanics. Based on this phenomenon, a new geological prospecting method called Molecular Form of Elements (MFE) was developed in former Czechoslovakia during the 1970s. It has been widely applied since for various types of prospecting, including the search for thermal and mineral waters. When using the MFE method for prospecting, the relationship between the ascending mineral springs and the four directions of structural faults was discovered. The possibility of whether a process, similar to the one acting during the absorption of elements when using the MFE method, can be a source of dissolved solid particles during the creation of mineral waters is also discussed.
