Comprehensive health risk analysis of heavy metal pollution using water quality indices and Monte Carlo simulation in R software

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

Published: Sept. 22, 2023

Rapid urbanization, population growth, agricultural practices, and industrial activities have led to widespread groundwater contamination. This study evaluated heavy metal contamination in residential drinking water Shiraz, Iran (2021). The analysis involved 80 samples collected across wet dry seasons. Water quality was comprehensively assessed using several indices, including the metals evaluation index (HEI), pollution (HPI), degree (CD), (MI). Carcinogenic non-carcinogenic risk assessments were conducted deterministic probabilistic approaches for exposed populations. In assessment, chronic daily intake (CDI), hazard quotient (HQ), (HI) are employed. precision of assessment bolstered through utilization Monte Carlo simulation, executed R software platform. Based on results, both seasons, Zinc (Zn) consistently demonstrates highest mean concentration, followed by Manganese (Mn) Chromium (Cr). During 25% 40% regions exhibited high CD, respectively. According Cr presents CDI HQ children adults, Mn, As HI values, indicating elevated children. carcinogenic while lowest Cd sensitivity found that concentration ingestion rate significantly impact risks. These findings provide critical insights shaping policy allocating resources towards effectively managing water.

Different natural and anthropogenic processes cause pollution of various water bodies worldwide creating numerous health problems for humans. This causes serious concern as is a basic necessity to all living beings, needs be adequately monitored managed prevent its contamination. If found contaminated, the cleaned using suitable treatment methods keeping in view WHO regulations before it intended purpose (drinking, irrigation, etc.). Application different ICP-MS techniques such classical ICP-MS, ICP-MS/MS, ICP-TOF-MS, HR-ICP-MS, MH-ICP-MS, MC-ICP-MS qualitative quantitative determination toxic metals, isotopes and, metal species, effective monitoring other pollutants drinking water, surface groundwater, industrial effluents, used aquaculture industries focal point this article. In general, concentrations major, minor, trace element composition samples are influenced mainly by bedrock geology emergence, well residence time depth aquifer. For better management resources, necessary have comprehensive understanding quality (with respect physical, chemical, biological) requirements, sustainability groundwater from particular source. Identifying sources contamination, risks associated, application technique(s) supplied public consumption. It also intensify our studies on species (e.g., As3+, Cr6+ methyl mercury) their effects human health, regulatory limits water.

Ecological risk assessment and heavy metals accumulation in agriculture soils irrigated with treated wastewater effluent, river water, and well water combined with chemical fertilizers

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(3), P. e14580 - e14580

Published: March 1, 2023

Contaminated irrigation water can increase trace heavy metals concentration in agricultural soil. The present research aimed to investigate the effect of three types sources, including treated wastewater effluent, Gharasoo river water, and well with chemical fertilizer, on accumulation ecological risk soils. Soil samples were collected before after crop evaluate metal concentrations. analyzed determine presence arsenic, nickel, cadmium, iron, chromium, zinc, lead, copper, manganese. Based results, essential soil process was more than toxic metals. different sources increased all soil, Cr, Ni, Cd significantly elevated others. Irrigation resources' effectiveness transferring obtained as effluent < fertilizer water. Furthermore, potential index (RI) for irrigated a high-risk category. Therefore, it is recommended that should not be used irrigate vegetables utmost possible. Finally, low nutrients make this source most suited because eliminates need fertilizers by farmers transfers fewer

Prediction of human health risk and disability-adjusted life years induced by heavy metals exposure through drinking water in Fars Province, Iran

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

Published: Nov. 4, 2023

Abstract Exposure to heavy metals in contaminated drinking water is strongly correlated with various cancers, highlighting the burden of disease. This study aimed assess non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated exposure (As, Pb, Cd, Cr) Fars province evaluate attributed Non-carcinogenic risk assessment was performed using hazard quotient (HQ) method, while utilized excess lifetime cancer approach. The disease evaluated terms years life lost, lived disability, disability-adjusted (DALY) for three specific cancers: skin, lung, kidney cancer. average concentrations arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) lead (Pb) were determined be 0.72, 0.4, 1.10 0.72 μg/L, respectively. total HQ area 0.127, 0.0047, 0.0009 0.0069, ILCRs metal entire country following order: 1.15 × 10 −5 As, 2.22 −7 Cd 3.41 Cr. results also indicated that among counties analyzed, Fasa experiences greatest DALYs, a value 87.56, specifically cancers caused by arsenic. Generally, it can said critical aspect public health requires comprehensive understanding effective intervention.

Molecules, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 29(13), P. 3169 - 3169

Published: July 3, 2024

Interest in measuring major and trace elements plants has increased recent years because of growing concerns about the elements' contribution to daily intakes or health risks posed by ingesting vegetables contaminated potentially toxic elements. The advances using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) measure plant samples are reviewed present work. sample preparation before instrumental determination main advantages limitations ICP-OES described. New trends element extraction liquid solutions fewer solvents microextractions observed recently published literature. Even though is a well-established routine technique, innovations increase its performance have been found. Validated methods needed ensure obtaining reliable results. Much research focused on assessing principal figures merit, such as limits detection, quantification, selectivity, working ranges, precision terms repeatability reproducibility, accuracy through spiked certified reference materials analysis. According literature, 50 after release first commercially available equipment, remains powerful highly recommended tool for wide range concentrations.
