The Northern Indian Plains are facing severe environmental challenges that threaten the health and well-being of millions people in region. Deforestation, soil degradation, water pollution scarcity, poor air quality some major issues require urgent attention. Deforestation region has resulted loss biodiversity, erosion, reduced availability. Soil degradation is another issue region, resulting from unsustainable agricultural practices, overuse chemical fertilizers, erosion caused by deforestation. It also fertility, lower crop yields productivity. Using fertilizers pesticides led to pollution, affecting animals who rely on these sources. Water scarcity with many having limited access clean safe drinking water. sources due industrial activities further compounded problem, leading waterborne diseases various issues.

Abstract This research aimed to identify the main sources of groundwater pollution and assess non-carcinogenic human health risk resulting from nitrate fluoride contamination. These goals were achieved by employing unsupervised supervised machine algorithms, including principal component analysis (PCA) multilayer perceptron artificial neural networks (MLP-ANN). Thirty-seven samples analyzed for twelve physical chemical parameters, pH, EC, TDS, TH, Cl, F, SO 4 , NO 3 Ca, Mg, Na, HCO 3, initial investigation indicated that except all parameters are above guidelines World Health Organization (WHO). PCA mineral dissolution is source while high concentration primarily resulted agricultural operation due extensive use nitrogen calcium-based fertilizers. Consequently, (HHR) children adults evaluated based on F. The conventional approach assessing HHR time-consuming often associated with errors in calculating hazard quotients (HQ) indices (HI). In this research, MLP-ANN suggested overcome these limitations. modeling, data divided into two parts training (80%) validation (20%), F as inputs HQ HI outputs. performance models was tested using root mean square error (RMSE) coefficient determination (R 2 ). model provided a satisfactory result maximum RMSE 4% R higher than 97% validation. As result, obtained HIs 97.3% study area suitable consumption. successfully assessed learning results have led conclusion highly recommended effectively managing resources.

Abstract Inorganic arsenic (iAs) and fluoride (iF) are ubiquitous elements whose coexistence is frequent in several regions of the world due to natural contamination water sources destined for human consumption. It has been reported that coexposure these two can cause toxic effects on health, which controversial since antagonistic synergistic have reported. However, there little information possible toxicological interaction between concurrent exposure iAs iF metabolism profile. The goal this study was determine effect methylation patterns urine tissues female mice C57BL/6 strain, were divided into four groups exposed daily 10 days through drinking as follows: purified (control); arsenite 1 mg/L, 50 mg/L & 1:50 mg/L. To characterize pattern concomitant exposure, its methylated metabolites (MAs DMAs) quantified alone or combination. Our results showed a statistically significant decrease species concentrations altered relative proportions As-iF group compared iAs-exposed group. These findings show decreases disposition alters capacity. Nevertheless, additional studies required elucidate mechanisms involved iAs-iF affecting metabolism.

This first micro-level ground related region. In total twenty (20) groundwater (GW) samples from tube-wells at different locations nine (09) Gram Panchayats (GP) were collected and analyzed. results have been compared Indian standard (IS) based on eight parameters, such as pH, dissolved solids (TDS), suspended solid (TSS), conductivity, alkalinity (TA), hardness (TH), chloride (Cl), arsenic (As). Moreover, TDS (50%) Total Hardness (TH) (90%) found be above desirable limit. However, Chloride, has within permissible revealed that high contamination GW identified middle eastern side Barasat-I. As acceptable limit 70% sampling points. Therefore, rural people are prone a higher risk black-foot disease due level As. Overall, block not suitable fit direct drinking.
