Interactions between humans and the physical environment in which they live have been studied extensively reason being that human activities to a great extent exert an influence on (biotic abiotic). Pollution other hand is introducing harmful substances into are damaging living organisms. Pollutants can be gases, liquids or solids produced concentrations higher than usual diminish quality of environment. Human adverse effects by polluting air we breathe, water drink even cause climatic changes. In terms provision manifold services, technology societal modernization, industrial revolution recorded outstanding success, it however, was beginning mass production pollutants emitted caused health our era, industrialization urbanization evidently reaching unprecedented disturbing proportions globally with anthropogenic pollution one major public hazards, accounting for almost 9 million deaths annually. This research therefore aims investigate environmental from activities, particularly water, climate change provide comprehensive understanding interconnectedness their consequences. Furthermore, since emerges as global concern developing countries; this study thus also highlights significance efficient wastewater treatment crucial strategy sustainable development, exploring its potential contribution mitigation.

More about making profits or providing safe drinking water? A state-of-the-art review on sachet water contamination in Nigeria

Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part C, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 42(4), P. 255 - 297

Published: March 4, 2024

Public health concerns on surface and groundwater contamination worldwide have increased. Sachet water has also raised serious across many developing countries. While previous studies attempted to address this issue, review takes a different approach by utilizing comprehensive analysis of physicochemical parameters, heavy metals, microbial loads tested in sachet Nigeria's six geopolitical zones, within the period 2020–2023. In study, over 50 articles were carefully analyzed. Collected data unveiled regional variations quality Nigeria. Noteworthy revolve around levels pH, total hardness, magnesium, calcium, nickel, iron, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium. Fecal was identified as significant with prevalence several pathogens like Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis. The manufacturing, delivery, storage, final sale water, well poor environmental hygiene, potential sources. intake contaminated exposes citizens waterborne carcinogenic diseases. industry keeps growing making profits, it is apparent that improvement calls made studies, regarding produced, not been paid attention.

Seasonal variations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in drinking water and health risk assessment via Monte Carlo simulation and Sobol sensitivity analysis in southern Iran's largest city

Applied Water Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(12)

Published: Nov. 18, 2023

Abstract The escalating concern over the presence and health implications of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in drinking water has underscored need for rigorous risk assessments. Our study aimed to quantify both non-carcinogenic carcinogenic risks associated with exposure selected PTEs—namely arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd). Also, we evaluated ingestion skin contact exposures during summer winter using metrics such as hazard quotient (HQ), index (HI), cancer (CR) children, adult males, females. For all demographic groups pathways, HQ values remain below established safety threshold (HQ < 1). Notably, As consistently had highest average HI value across male adults, female adults. Seasonal variations were statistically significant ( p 0.05) Cr, but not Cd. During summer, total (TCR) from 7.61 × 10 –6 , 8.94 1.12 –5 respectively. In winter, these 1.18 1.40 1.75 fuzzy C-means clustering analysis provided insights into our dataset's Cd, distribution patterns. Results indicate that As, Cd mean concentrations World Health Organization health-based guidelines. CR children adults slightly above or US Environmental Protection Agency’s standards. These findings can inform research policy-making regarding PTEs highlight monitor Shiraz regularly.
