Abstract The toxicity studies using soil invertebrates are good tools for assessing the quality of a region.

Abstract The proposed study investigates the key hydro-geochemical relationships between salts and ions, their spatial distribution, sources of occurrence, non-malignant health effects associated with fluoride contamination risk in lakes Rajasthan, India. covers a cluster 18 lakes, assessed using standard procedures from USEPA WHO. findings highlight significant influence both anthropogenic activities natural lithology on which are crucial potable domestic water supply. Water quality parameters such as BOD, pH, Fe, Mn²⁺, PO₄³⁻, F⁻, HCO₃⁻ exceeded permissible limits set by Correlation analysis revealed strong positive associations (F⁻) like Ca²⁺, electrical conductivity (EC), K⁺, HCO₃⁻, influenced geological factors, soil composition, pH levels, temperature, ion presence, redox reactions. Hydro-geochemical characteristics were primarily represented combinations Ca-HCO₃, Mg-HCO₃, SO₄-HCO₃, Na-K-HCO₃, reflecting context, high bicarbonate elevated levels Mg²⁺ sulphate ions. hazard quotient index (HQI) for exposure to risks, an HQI greater than 1 infants (93%), followed children (89%), teenagers (79%), adults (54%). area, including regions Udaipur, Jodhpur, Alwar, Ajmer, showed that approximately 52% population falls within Category F2 (concentrations 0.5 mg/L 1.5 mg/L).
