Abstract Due to water shortages and the potential impact of Ethiopia’s new dam on Nile River, Egypt is seeking resources. This study assesses drinking quality associated risks from potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in Quaternary aquifer (QA) Beni-Suef, Egypt. Using a comprehensive approach, including PHREEQC geochemical modeling, ionic ratios, multivariate statistical analyses, integrated weight index (WQI), evaluated sources ion contamination mixing with QA. Various indices, such as Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI), ecological Risk (RI), Hazard Quotient (HQ), (HI), were used assess health risks. Monte Carlo simulations provided probabilistic assessments non-carcinogenic for adults children. GIS tools map risk identifying most deteriorated locations sustainable management. The hydrochemical analysis revealed facies Na–Cl, Ca–Mg–HCO 3 , mixed types, influenced by carbonate dissolution, exchange, silicate weathering. Contamination sources, particularly north south, linked agricultural activities, irrigation return flow, municipal waste, evaporation. WQI indicated that 10.14% samples extremely poor, 21.7% 26% medium, 42% good excellent. PTE varied, HPI values indicating central area 53.6% collected (HPI < 30), but south high > 51).

In comparison, hazard (HI) through oral/ingestion, exhibited HI ranging 0.012 2.16, while children showed higher values, 0.045 8.25.

Abstract This study assessed the environmental and health risks associated with heavy metals in water resources of Egypt's northwestern desert. The current approaches included Spearman correlation matrix, principal component analysis, cluster analysis to identify pollution sources quality-controlling factors. Various indices (HPI, MI, HQ, HI, CR) were applied evaluate human risks. Additionally, Monte Carlo method was employed for probabilistic carcinogenic non-carcinogenic risk assessment via oral dermal exposure routes adults children. Notably, all exhibited high HPI MI values exceeding permissible limits (HPI > 100 6), respectively. Furthermore, HI indicated significant both children, while contact posed a 19.4% samples 77.6% children (HI 1).

Consequently, comprehensive treatment measures are urgently needed mitigate Siwa Oasis.

Abstract The contamination of water due to heavy metals (HMs) is a big concern for humankind; particularly in developing countries. This research systematic review, conducted by searching google scholar, Web Science, Science Direct, PubMed, Springer, and Scopus databases related published papers from 2010 July 2021, resulting including 40 articles. Among the analyzed HMs presented average content Cr, Pb, Ba, Al, As, Zn, Cd exceeded permissible limits suggested World Health Organization (WHO) 1,053 Iranian standards. Also, rank order Hazard Quotient (HQ) was defined as Cd>As>Cr>Pb>Li children which means has highest non-carcinogenic risk Li least. verifies current As>Cr>Pb>Fe=Zn=Cu>Cd adults. corresponded values HQ Index (HI) most cities villages were investigated results indicated lower than 1 value, consumers are not at (HQ).
