Probabilistic Risk Assessment and Integrated Statistical Modelling to Identify the Key Factors in Acute and Chronic Arsenic Toxicity Among Schoolchildren for Proactive Toxicity Management

Health risks of arsenic and chromium in groundwater and surface water in India: A systematic review

Groundwater arsenic contamination poses a major public health threat in India, while evidence on chromium ingestion risks are limited, and higher non-carcinogenic risk was reported from groundwater than surface water, especially via dermal exposure in children.

Source apportionment and health risk assessment of arsenic contamination in groundwater in Xinxiang city based on the PCA-PMF model and WQI method

Age-dependent health risk assessment and excess lifetime cancer risk from radon in groundwater of northeastern Iraq

Abstract Naturally occurring radon in groundwater represents a significant public health concern due to exposure through both ingestion and inhalation. This study investigated radon concentrations across 30 groundwater samples collected from northeastern Iraq, together with associated physicochemical parameters and rad...

Assessment of Human Health Risks Posed by Soil Contamination with Heavy Metals and Arsenic in a City with the Developed Metalworking Industry

Introduction: The study was conducted to assess health risks posed by soil pollution to the population of Kolchugino, one of the old industrial centers of the Vladimir Region. Objective: To assess carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks to the population of the city of Kolchugino caused by soil pollution with h...

Recent and ever exposure predictors of urinary pesticide biomarkers among children in South Africa: A two - year longitudinal study.

Residents of agricultural regions are exposed to complex mixtures of agricultural and household pesticides, yet determinants of exposure remain poorly characterized in low-and middle-income countries, limiting accurate exposure assessment and health risk evaluation. This study aimed to identify self-reported recent and...

Probabilistic assessment of cumulative heavy metal exposure from staple foods in a selenium-endemic area: Implications for dietary risk management.

A risk-based dietary optimization framework is developed by assessing the concentrations, spatial distribution, and probabilistic health risks of 24 elements in four staple crops collected from Shuang'an Township, a recognized human Se poisoning area in China.
