Analyzing Heavy Metal Contamination for One of the High-rate Consumption Fruits in Iran: a Probabilistic Health Risk Assessment

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(9), P. e30392 - e30392

Published: April 28, 2024

Good health and well-being is one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) that can be achieved through fruit consumption. This study measured cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) heavy metal concentrations. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used to analyze samples for content. The uncertainty sensitivity analyses carcinogenic non-carcinogenic intake via consumption were assessed by Monte Carlo simulation. mean ± SD levels Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, As determined 157.87 128.54, 33.81 6.27, 288.46 114.59, 35.22 18.67, 33.6 18.1 μg/kg, respectively. 95th percentile HI related among children adults 2.64 1.75, Also, ELCR 8.26E-4 4.14E-3 adults, LTCR As, Pb in WHO target range (1E-04 1E-06) so reducing concentration them help reduce overall LTCR. When HQ are below cut limits, metals high-consumption meals a good way lower them. In general, due wide various fruits, such as L.), environmental pollutants their edible tissues should monitored regularly, these minimized proper planning.

Elemental composition and potential health risk of vegetable cultivated in residential area situated close to abandoned gold mine dump: Characteristics of soil quality on the vegetables

Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part B, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 59(6), P. 300 - 314

Published: April 15, 2024

The presence of toxic metals in residential areas near abandoned gold mine tailings is a major environmental issue. This study mainly aimed to investigate the elemental distribution both and essential elements soils leafy vegetables (Brassica oleracea) collected from eight different sites around Davidsonville area, located closer Princess dump, Johannesburg, South Africa. nutritional value human diet was determined assess their health. contained following descending order: Ca > Mg Sb Pb Fe Mo Cr Se As V Ni Co Cd. bioaccumulation factor (BAF) revealed that tend accumulate most even (toxic) during transfer translocation process.

Physicochemical and geochemical analysis of groundwater quality in Ilaporu, Ogun State, Nigeria, for domestic and agricultural usage

HydroResearch, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 7, P. 225 - 247

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

The inhabitant of Ilaporu settlements solely depends on groundwater for domestic and agricultural purpose as a result scarcity contamination surface water. present study therefore aimed at investigating the physicochemical geochemical composition suitability. Hand-dug well waters were picked randomly from thirty (30) major with aid Global Position Satellite (GPS). physical parameters such Hydrogen ion concentration (pH), Electrical conductivity (EC),) Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) measured in-situ while chemical compositions cations (Ca2+, K+, Mg2+ Na+) anions (Cl−,F−,SO42−,NO3−and CO32−) obtained through laboratory procedure. water was subjected to an analytical measurement utilizing Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) examine seven heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Ni, Fe, Mn, Co, Zn). This conducted various pollution indicators, including degree (DoC), modified (mDoC), enrichment factor (ER), accumulation index (Igeo), loading (PLI), ecological risk potential (ERIP), health risks related carcinogenic non-carcinogenic substances. Water quality indexes permeability (PI), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble percentage (SSP), (%Na), residual carbonate bicarbonate (RSC RSBC), Kelly's (KR), magnetic (MR) also used evaluate suitability irrigation. revealed that has no trace lead (Pb) other are within acceptable limit WHO NSDWQ, except cadmium.
