Interactions between humans and the physical environment in which they live have been studied extensively reason being that human activities to a great extent exert an influence on (biotic abiotic). Pollution other hand is introducing harmful substances into are damaging living organisms. Pollutants can be gases, liquids or solids produced concentrations higher than usual diminish quality of environment. Human adverse effects by polluting air we breathe, water drink even cause climatic changes. In terms provision manifold services, technology societal modernization, industrial revolution recorded outstanding success, it however, was beginning mass production pollutants emitted caused health our era, industrialization urbanization evidently reaching unprecedented disturbing proportions globally with anthropogenic pollution one major public hazards, accounting for almost 9 million deaths annually. This research therefore aims investigate environmental from activities, particularly water, climate change provide comprehensive understanding interconnectedness their consequences. Furthermore, since emerges as global concern developing countries; this study thus also highlights significance efficient wastewater treatment crucial strategy sustainable development, exploring its potential contribution mitigation.

Contamination in coastal regions attributed to fluoride and nitrate cannot be disregarded, given the substantial environmental public health issues they present worldwide. For effective decontamination, it is pivotal identify regional pollution hotspots. This comprehensive study was performed assess spatial as well indexical water quality, contamination sources, hotspots, evaluate associated risks pertaining Al-Hassa region, KSA. The physicochemical results revealed a pervasive of overall groundwater. dominant type Na-Cl, indicating saltwater intrusion reverse ion exchange impact. Spatiotemporal variations properties suggest diverse hydrochemical mechanisms, with geogenic factors primarily influencing groundwater chemistry. index varied between 0.8426 4.7172, classifying samples moderately very highly polluted. Similarly, synthetic (in range 0.5021–4.0715) that none had excellent various degrees categories. Nitrate quotient (HQ) values indicated chronic human ranging from low severe, infants being most vulnerable. Household use nitrate-rich for showering cleaning did not pose significant risks. Fluoride HQ decreased age, children faced highest risk fluorosis. hazard (HI) yielded moderate- high-risk values. were 1.21 times higher than risks, per average HI assessment. All fell into vulnerable category based on total (THI), 88.89% classified high risk. research provides valuable insights guiding authorities, inhabitants, researchers identifying safe regions, populations. highlight need appropriate treatment techniques long-term management plans.

Toxicological risk assessment using spring water quality indices in plateaus of Giresun Province/Türkiye: a holistic hydrogeochemical data analysis

Environmental Geochemistry and Health, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 46(8)

Опубликована: Июль 5, 2024

Abstract Water scarcity is a growing concern due to rapid urbanization and population growth. This study assesses spring water quality at 20 stations in Giresun province, Türkiye, focusing on potentially toxic elements physicochemical parameters. The Quality Index rated most samples as "excellent" during the rainy season "good" dry season, except 4 (40° 35′ 12″ North/38° 26′ 34″ East) 19 44′ 28″ 06′ 53″ West), indicating "poor" quality. Mean macro-element concentrations (mg/L) were: Ca (34.27), Na (10.36), Mg (8.26), K (1.48). trace element values (μg/L) Al (1093), Zn (110.54), Fe (67.45), Mn (23.03), Cu (9.79), As (3.75), Ni (3.00), Cr (2.84), Pb (2.70), Co (1.93), Cd (0.76). Health risk assessments showed minimal non-carcinogenic risks, while carcinogenic from arsenic slightly exceeded safe limits (CR = 1.75E−04). Higher were increased recharge, arsenic-laden surface runoff, human activities. Statistical analyses (PCA, PCC, HCA) suggested that metals physico-chemical parameters originated lithogenic, anthropogenic, or mixed sources. Regular monitoring of recommended mitigate potential public health risks waterborne contaminants.

More about making profits or providing safe drinking water? A state-of-the-art review on sachet water contamination in Nigeria

Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part C, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 42(4), С. 255 - 297

Опубликована: Март 4, 2024

Public health concerns on surface and groundwater contamination worldwide have increased. Sachet water has also raised serious across many developing countries. While previous studies attempted to address this issue, review takes a different approach by utilizing comprehensive analysis of physicochemical parameters, heavy metals, microbial loads tested in sachet Nigeria's six geopolitical zones, within the period 2020–2023. In study, over 50 articles were carefully analyzed. Collected data unveiled regional variations quality Nigeria. Noteworthy revolve around levels pH, total hardness, magnesium, calcium, nickel, iron, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium. Fecal was identified as significant with prevalence several pathogens like Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis. The manufacturing, delivery, storage, final sale water, well poor environmental hygiene, potential sources. intake contaminated exposes citizens waterborne carcinogenic diseases. industry keeps growing making profits, it is apparent that improvement calls made studies, regarding produced, not been paid attention.
