Source apportionment and human health risk assessment of toxic trace elements in urban road dust

Human health risk assessment of heavy metal pollution in airborne dust from Zakho City, Iraq

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...

Trace Metal Concentrations in Rainwater, Sources, and Health Risks: A Case Study of Hanoi, Vietnam

Atmospheric wet deposition, where pollutants, including metals, are washed from the atmosphere by rain, is a significant concern, particularly in urban and industrial areas, given the risks to human and ecosystem health. This study investigated the concentrations, sources, and potential health risk of 10 metals in 102...

Integrated Assessment of Heavy Metal Accumulation in Urban Trees and Soils and Associated Non-carcinogenic Health Risks in Sabzevar, Iran

Elemental composition of indoor dust and health risk assessment in preschools located in a seasonal haze-affected area: Lampang Province, Thailand

Overall, indoor dust posed low ecological and health risks; however, continued monitoring is recommended due to potential long-term exposure effects on children, although children were more susceptible than adults.

Geoinformatics-driven mapping of heavy metal contamination and associated health risks.

Findings confirmed that groundwater containing As, Cr, and Pb above permissible values is unsuitable for consumption posing serious health hazards to the population of study area.
