Arsenic‐contaminated groundwater of the Western Banat (Pannonian basin): Hydrogeochemical appraisal, pollution source apportionment, and Monte Carlo simulation of source‐specific health risks

Water Environment Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 96(8)

Published: Aug. 1, 2024

Abstract Due to rapid urbanization and industrial growth, groundwater globally is continuously deteriorating, posing significant health risks humans. This study employed a comprehensive methodology analyze in the Western Banat Plain (Serbia). Using Piper Gibbs plots, hydrogeochemistry was assessed, while entropy‐weighted water quality index ( EWQI ) used evaluate quality. Pollution sources were identified using positive matrix factorization (PMF) accompanied by Pearson correlation hierarchical cluster analysis, Monte Carlo simulation assessed associated with consumption. Results showed that groundwater, mainly Ca–Mg–HCO 3 type, mostly suitable for drinking. Geogenic pollution, agricultural activities, sewage major pollution sources. Consumption of contaminated poses serious non‐carcinogenic carcinogenic risks. Additionally, arsenic from geogenic source found be main contributor, considering its worryingly elevated concentration, ranging up 364 μg/L. These findings will valuable decision‐makers researchers managing vulnerability. Practitioner Points Groundwater severely As northern part area. The predominant hydrochemical type area . PMF method apportioned three rock dissolution as primary risk contributor. Health mortality are positively correlated.

Appraisal of pollution levels and non-carcinogenic health risks associated with the emergence of heavy metals in Indonesian community water for sanitation, hygiene, and consumption

Emerging contaminants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(3), P. 100313 - 100313

Published: Feb. 23, 2024

Excessive heavy metal concentrations in water can pose a threat to human health. The research analyzed 160 groundwater samples used for hygiene and sanitation, of which 62 were consumption, 98 other types drinking analyzed. findings indicate that 6% sanitation 13% (7.8% groundwater, 5.2% refill water) deemed unfit use due elevated certain metals surpassing the maximum limits. As, Cd, Co, Hg, Mn, Pb detected several unsuitable consumption. Several suspected originate from natural sources are Fe, Zn, while Pb, Co have anthropogenic sources. Only arsenic exposure through ingestion pathway posed non-carcinogenic health risk local population. Children found be more susceptible than adult males females. estimated average levels based on > well rainwater spring water. Therefore, it is essential monitor raw at depots study area implement policies related quality sources, technology maintenance processes, processed depots. Additionally, community should educated about household-scale treatment minimize risks consider using untreated
