Modern technological advancements in mining involve the implementation of environmental standards and protective measures that significantly contribute to preserving natural resources preventing potentially harmful impacts on environment. These enable early identification minimisation risks. The industry plays a vital role economic development society while simultaneously adhering strategies for preservation public health protection. This is achieved through modern methods monitoring parameters population health. Mining geological exploration may lead presence toxic elements (PTEs), which certain concentrations across various media pose challenges both environment human Environmental crucial strategy achieving sustainable mining. Sustainable effective water, soil, air, biological indicators areas ensures ecological balance regions where mineral exploitation occurs.

Chemical contaminants in drinking water, including arsenic, nitrate, and fluoride, pose significant health risks, particularly low-income countries with inadequate water management infrastructure. This study aims to identify the most hazardous chemical contaminants, evaluate global quality, assess impacts based on a comprehensive literature review guided by PRISMA method. The findings revealed that arsenic concentrations Romania, Pakistan, India exceed WHO USEPA safety thresholds, maximum levels reaching 130.3 µg/L. Nitrate Morocco were found be as high 844 mg/L 270.1 mg/L, respectively, far surpassing standards. Fluoride contamination Pakistan reached 30 well above recommended limits. These are primarily sourced from industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, improper waste disposal. highlights regional disparities, 67% of reports 88% cases linked groundwater sources. results underscore urgent need for improved monitoring, stricter regulations, effective strategies mitigate vulnerable populations such infants children. Governments international bodies must prioritise addressing protect public health.

Mercury and arsenic are two highly toxic pollutants, many researchers have explored the effects of substances on environment. However, research content in frozen periods is relatively small. To explore spatial vertical distribution mercury ice, water, sediments Wuliangsuhai Lake under ice conditions, to assess harm degree human beings. We collected lake December 2020, tested contents Hg As. The single-factor pollution index method, local cumulative ecological risk coding method were used status these three environmental media, Monte Carlo simulation combined with quantitative model recommended by USEPA was population health risk. results showed that (1) average values As water 0.367 0.114, both pollutants at clean levels during period. (2) mean Igeo 0.657 -0.948. bioavailability period high, its value 7.8%, which belonged low-risk grade. ranged from 0.2% 3.7%, an 1.3%. (3) indicate acceptable risks ice. This study preliminarily investigated characteristics their potential lakes cold arid regions It not only clarified period, but also provided beneficial supplements for protection basins. lays a foundation further science region future.

Groundwater serves as a vital water source for significant population in the Gujarat region of India. However, substantial contamination from heavy metals, pose serious threat to human health through various pathways, including drinking water. The rapid industrial and agricultural growth recent years has exacerbated metal pollution state. This study focuses on assessing groundwater using Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI). research covers entire state, considering its diverse physical, climatic, topographical, geographical conditions. HPI scores obtained individual studies highlight extent caused by metals. overall findings underscore severe problem Gujarat's associated risks. Various other indicators, Evaluation Index, Degree Contamination, Water are discussed tools assess levels. These indices compare concentrations different metals with established limits determine level. goal is provide valuable insights investors policymakers formulating strategies manage reduce across Additionally, paper explores effective, environmentally friendly, economically viable treatment techniques remove aquatic systems, safeguarding environment. By employing indicators remedial actions, this aims guide efforts mitigating impact Gujarat.
