Soil pollution indices and health risk assessment of metal(loid)s in the agricultural soil of pistachio orchards

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: April 18, 2024

Elevated levels of metal(loid)s in soil may pose potential threats to the ecosystem and can be harmful for human health. The concentrations As, Cd, Pb, Cr Ni were determined agricultural collected from 45 pistachio orchards around Feizabad city, Khorasan Razavi province, Iran using ICP-OES. Also, pollution indices including contamination factor (CF), load index (PLI) geo-accumulation (Igeo) evaluated. In addition, non-carcinogenic carcinogenic risk estimated. mean order = 466.256 > 120.848 Pb 12.009 As 5.486 Cd 0.394 mg/kg. Concentrations samples within their respective permissible limits set by World Health Organization (WHO). But 84.4 100% samples, respectively exceeded WHO allowable limits. CF, PLI Igeo showed that some was contaminated with metals. possible sources metals are application pesticides, chemical fertilizers, manures as well irrigation water. Hazard quotient (HQ) ad (HI) values all found below threshold limit (1), suggesting there is no immediate non-cancer threat arising at children adults. highest cancer (1.13E-02 1.25E-03 adults) estimated soil. Collectively, this study provides valuable information improve reduce minimize associated health risks population area.

Assessment of soil heavy metal pollution and associated ecological risk of agriculture dominated mid-channel bars in a subtropical river basin

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(1)

Published: July 9, 2023

The elevated concentrations of heavy metals in soil considerably threaten ecological and human health. To this end, the present study assesses pollution its threat to ecology from mid-channel bar's (char) agricultural Damodar River basin, India. For this, contamination factor (CF), enrichment (EF), geoaccumulation index (Igeo), index, risk (RI) were measured on 60 samples at 30 stations (2 each station, i.e., surface sub-surface) different parts bar. CF EF indicate that both levels char have low hence portray a higher potential for future by metals. Moreover, Igeo portrays are uncontaminated moderately contaminated. Further, indices all (both levels) unpolluted with mean 0.062 soils 0.048 sub-surface soils. Both potentiality an average RI 0.20 0.19 Technique order preference similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) indicates lower than geostatistical modeling reveals simple kriging technique was estimated as most appropriate interpolation model. investigation exhibits reduced metal is due sandy nature frequent flooding. However, limited revealed intensive practices riverine chars. Therefore, would be helpful regional planners, engineers, stakeholders basin area.

Groundwater level dynamics in a subtropical fan delta region and its future prediction using machine learning tools: Sustainable groundwater restoration

Journal of Hydrology Regional Studies, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 47, P. 101385 - 101385

Published: April 17, 2023

The Damodar Fan Delta, West Bengal, India. depletion of groundwater resources worldwide is escalating due to its profuse demand for drinking, irrigation, domestic, and industrial uses. Overexploitation in a subtropical fan delta region with rapid population growth like the Delta India great concern sustainable mapping, monitoring, managing water resources. During 2000–2020, portrayed an increase semi-critical community development blocks, implying decline level. To this end, present study intends show level dynamics including future prediction, using machine learning algorithms based on seasonal data from 2013‐14 2020‐21 30 wells. Post-monsoon kharif rabi depicted higher fall rate compared pre-monsoon monsoon periods. Future predictions best-fit model indicated increasing trend depth levels (2025–26). extreme gradient boost regressor appeared be best model, while decision tree was worst performer. major controlling factors were decreasing rainfall abstraction increased water.

Abstract The main objectives of this research are to assess groundwater, a primary source drinking water in the urban areas Hawler (Erbil) and Bnaslawa northern Iraq, non-carcinogenic human health risks nitrate contamination associated with quality. For purpose, twenty-seven groundwater samples were collected from wells hydrogeochemical characteristics quality for both natural anthropogenic purposes during wet (May 2020) dry (September seasons. During seasons, NO 3 − ranged 14.00 61.00 mg/L 12.00 60.00 mg/L, an average value 35.70 29.00 respectively. Approximately 25.92% exceeded permissible limit WHO (2011) standard. ratios /Na + vs. Cl SO 4 2− indicate effect agricultural activities wastewater leaking cesspools or septic tanks on entropy weighted index method ranked 62.5% 75% as not recommended drinking, remaining moderately suitable risk assessment displayed that 29.6% 25.9% adults, 48% 30% children, 48.1% infants exposed increased concentrations groundwater. Due high water, levels vary infant > child adults. findings obtained study can assist policymakers better understanding properties terms safety, thereby facilitating management resources take necessary measures.
