Indoor Dust Investigation in Homes from Istanbul, Türkiye: Household Conditions, Heavy Metals, and Health Risk of PTEs

Seasonal assessment of heavy metal contamination, pollution indices, and human health risks in dumpsite soils of Abakpa bridge, Enugu State, Nigeria

This study assessed heavy metal contamination and associated ecological and human health risks at a municipal dumpsite using established pollution indices and risk models. Soil samples collected from three stations (A–C) during rainy and dry seasons were analyzed for Cd, As, Fe, Zn, Cr, Pb, and Hg. Results showed clear...

Spatial distribution and health risk implications of elemental hazard quotients in selected Nigerian cities

The disease burden associated with air pollution is now comparable to that of other major global health threats, including poor nutrition and tobacco use. This study employed the gravitational settling method to collect airborne particles in selected Nigerian cities. The cities include; Benin, Kano, Abuja, Lagos, Enugu...

 Detection of Air Pollution with Lead, Cadmium, and Zinc in Selected Industrial Areas of Baghdad

The objectives of this study are to investigate the concentrations of heavy metals in two selected industrial areas. Airborne heavy metal pollution represents a persistent environmental and public health problem in rapidly urbanizing cities.
