Analytical Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 17

Опубликована: Ноя. 12, 2024

Water quality assessment is crucial for public and ecosystem health, yet traditional approaches often overlook the nutritional aspects of drinking water. This study introduces Drinking Nutritional Quality Index (DWNQI) to Africa, presenting its first application in continent. The research evaluated status water resources semi-urban areas Southeast Nigeria, shifting from a contaminant-focused paradigm. samples were strategically collected various sources. Five key elements (Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Zn2+) that play roles both human health environmental processes considered. DWNQI model revealed concerning trend, with scores ranging 9.76 78.54 (average 32.02). analysis showed 73.33% fell within "Poor" category, 13.33% "Marginal," 6.67% "Fair," "Good" categories, no reaching excellent range, indicating low trend area. Sensitivity reveal Mg2+and Ca2+ exerted most influence on studied samples. Removal Mg2+ index resulted 23.77% decrease average score, while removal led 23.42% decrease. Key recommendations include implementing targeted mineral enrichment programs developing initiatives address potential deficiencies. contributes sustainability by providing new perspective quality, potentially informing management policies guiding interventions African settings beyond.

Health risk assessment of groundwater use for drinking in West Nile Delta, Egypt

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Март 3, 2025

Abstract Human health is at risk from drinking water contamination, which causes a number of problems in many parts the world. The geochemistry groundwater, its quality, origins groundwater pollution, and associated risks have all been subject substantial research recent decades. In this study, west Rosetta Nile branch Delta Aquifer examined for potential. Numerous quality indices were applied, such as index (WQI), synthetic pollution (SPI) models, assessment (HRA) method. limits measured parameters are used to test validity on basis WHO recommendations. TDS southern regions within desirable allowable with percent 25.3% 29.33%, respectively. Nearly study area has value HCO 3 , Al Ba. Ca Mg values center south portion investigated area, whereas north unsuitable. Na, Cl SO 4 fall desired level but become unsuitable towards north. Mn NO inappropriate except northwestern part. Fe suitable range southwestern regions. Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd undetected collected samples. Regarding WQI classified into classes good, poor, very poor unfit According SPI model, 20%, 18.7%, 8% 34.6% samples suitable, slightly, moderately, highly polluted unfit, respectively Based HRA, Children most category endangered 14.7% overall obtained, followed by females males 12% 8%, This offers insights conservation management coastal aquifers’ supplies. These findings significant implications developing strategies executing preventative actions reduce resource vulnerability related hazards West Delta, Egypt.
