Heavy metals in food can pose significant health risks, necessitating regular monitoring and assessment of their concentrations commonly consumed foods. This study aims to assess the levels essential heavy conduct risk assessments peanuts date palms. Using wet acid digestion, metals: iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr) were measured six each sample palms, via Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). To risks for adult males females, calculated estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), index (HI), incremental lifetime cancer (ILCR) based on Maximum Recommended Daily Intake (MRDI) metal. The average were: Fe 12.6 ± 0.54, Zn 5.3 0.1, Cu 3.53 0.33, As 0.001 0.0, Pb 0.01 Cr 0.02 0.0 mg/kg.

In contrast, palms exceeded 1, suggesting potential Incremental allowable limits. conclusion, Jigjiga market are limits set by WHO.

Heavy metals pose a significant threat to public health and economic stability in Ethiopia, contaminating various environmental media, including water, soil, air. This paper aimed provide an overview of the burden heavy Ethiopia. Exposure such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic has been linked numerous adverse effects, neurological disorders, renal failure, cardiovascular diseases, cancer. In populations are particularly vulnerable metal exposure due factors, artisanal mining, industrial activities, agricultural practices, inadequate waste management systems. The contamination manifests through increased healthcare costs, loss productivity, remediation expenses. Furthermore, impact extends sectors agriculture tourism, affecting national development goals exacerbating poverty levels. Efforts mitigate burdens Ethiopia require multidisciplinary approaches, policy interventions, regulatory enforcement, awareness campaigns, investment sustainable practices. Strengthening monitoring systems, implementing pollution control measures, promoting research on alternative technologies for essential steps toward addressing this pressing issue. conclusion, challenges posed by necessitates concerted efforts from government, industry, academia, civil society safeguard human health, preserve environment, promote development.

Spring and well waters are among the most important sources of drinking water in Gofa Zone rural areas; therefore, it is vital to evaluate quality these sources. Hence, this study aims determine physicochemical parameters metallic mineral concentration with its associated health risks selected areas zone, Ethiopia. The purposive sampling method was used for sample collection. Standard analytical procedures were contents. average values all spring well‐drinking obtained as temperature (20.73°C 20.30°C), pH (7.2 6.07), electrical conductivity (481.13 µS/cm 584.24 µS/cm), dissolved oxygen (4.09 6.07 mg/L), turbidity (1.60 NTU 6.55 NTU), total solids (330.83 338.3 suspended (84.76 89.24 chloride concentrations (58.15 60.47 SO 4 2− ion (68.50 mg/L 5.58 NO 3 + (3.25 2.75 fluoride (0.49 0.37 mg/L). Health risk assessment indicates that Co metal showed high hazard indices compared Fe, Cu, Zn. Additionally, heavy pollution index (MPI) evaluation (HEI) indicate Sawla Kusti (SSW5), Geze Mhirzho Wola (GGSW7), Bulki Guya (BGWW8) considered highly polluted not recommended purposes.

Sugarcane is an economic crop and one of the most dominant crops worldwide. This research aim was to evaluate impacts long-term sugar cane monoculture on some groundwater physicochemical biological properties as indicators water quality. Survey study covering belt area El-Minia Governorate, Egypt conducted. revealed that suitability for irrigation falls under degree "severe" use restriction, continuous this may increase salinity problem in alluvial soils. Groundwater highly contaminated by total coliforms, E. coli faecal coliform bacteria both rotation agricultural systems. The coliforms population ranged from 360 362,Cfu/100 mL, fecal 212 215 Cfu/100 mL 248 256 Cfu/100mL with insignificant differences between Under sugarcane monoculture, average concentrations cadmium, chromium, nickel lead 60, 1220, 1320, 1250 μg/L, while were 57, 1350, 1230 μg/L differences. mean concentration heavy metals observed samples often exceeded permissible limits specified World Health Organization (WHO). Based these findings, it can be inferred has greatly degraded quality characteristics. highlights pressing need implementing more sustainable management strategies safeguard Nile Valley.
