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). Ecological below threshold 100% (RI confirming safety regarding PTEs. In comparison, hazard (HI) through oral/ingestion, exhibited HI ranging 0.012 2.16, while children showed higher values, 0.045 8.25. However, oral/ingestion exceeded safe limits (HI oral 1), posing significant exposure manganese (HQ El-Wasta El-Fashn, necessitating further treatment

Toxic elements are present naturally in the environment; however, during last century, their level has been continuously rising air, water, and soil due to anthropogenic activities, including urban runoff, pesticides fertilizers, industrial effluents, vehicle emissions. Once released environment, they extremely stable, therefore humans can get contact with them through different routes of exposure. In addition, because toxicities, increasingly threatening human health. Exposure toxic such as heavy metals (HMs) might contribute onset disorders ability generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which involved cell macromolecule injuries. Moreover, several (arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), beryllium (Be)) classified by International Agency for Research on Cancer group one carcinogens induce types cancer various heterogeneous mechanisms. Therefore, a better understanding etiopathogenesis development identification new bioactive products prevent metal carcinogenicity is warranted. Microalgae, known wide range biological could possess promising metallo-protective effect against metal-induced carcinogenicity. This protective mainly attributed antioxidant anti-cancer capacities well chelating potential. review discusses mechanisms implicated deep microalgae's mitigating roles strategies reviewed.

Abstract The quality of irrigation water sources can significantly affect the concentrations heavy metals (HMs) in cultivated vegetables. This study aimed to investigate effect various resources, including treated wastewater effluent (TWE), river (RW), and well with chemical fertilizer (WW+F), on accumulation three most widely consumed edible vegetables (Coriander, Radish, Basil) Iran. A total 90 samples vegetables, 13 water, 10 soil were collected determine HMs concentrations. Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni,) Arsenic (As) analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Eventually, Total Target Hazard Quotient (TTHQ) for toxic As, Pb, Cd was determined. results revealed that TTHQ less than allowable limits (TTHQ = 1). Also, TWE best type since content low. By comparing national international standards, it be concluded Gharasou RW inappropriate.

The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) combines the strengths of both Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) into a single framework. By doing so, it allows for quicker learning adaptable interpretation capabilities, which are useful modeling complex patterns identifying nonlinear relationships. One significant challenge in assessing water quality is difficulty time-consuming nature determining various factors that impact it. Given this situation, predicting heavy metal levels groundwater resources, urban rural, essential. This paper investigates two methods, ANFIS-FCM ANFIS-SUB, to determine their effectiveness Cadmium (Cd) resources. ‏The parameters be considered are: dissolved solids (TDS), electroconductivity (EC), turbidity (TU), pH were assumed independent variables. A total 51 sampling location used with resource develop fuzzy models. For evaluating performance ANFIS-SUB models, three different criteria including correlation coefficient, root mean square error, sum error comparing model outputs actual outputs‏.‏ Based on obtained results from scatter plots predicted value by ANFIS- FCM determination coefficient (R2) data, test train sets equal 0.978, 0.982, 0.993 0.983, 0.999 0.998 respectively. result proved Cd predictions implemented was significantly close measured all experimental data R2 0.983. compared found provided slightly higher accuracy than model. Also, comparison between indicated have strong potential estimating metals high degree accuracy.
