Abstract Heterogeneity between ambient and personal exposure to heavy metals has been documented. However, few studies have investigated potential health risks posed by inhalational airborne metal(loid)s at the individual level. A total of 404 fine particles (PM 2.5 ) samples were collected from 61 adult residents (aged 18–63 years) in Hong Kong during 2014–2015. Heavy analyzed using energy dis...

Long-term trends in air quality by studying the criteria pollutants (PM 2.5 , PM 10 CO, O 3 NO 2 and SO ) climate variables (temperature, surface pressure, relative humidity) were depicted this study. The 17-year (2003–2019) average values of 88.69 ± 9.76 μg/m 124.57 12.75 0.69 0.06 ppm, 51.42 1.82 ppb, 14.87 2.45 8.76 2.07 respectively. among ambient increasingly significant ( p < 0.05)...

The great horned owl (GHO; Bubo virginianus) was used in a multiple lines of evidence study of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) exposures at the Kalamazoo River Superfund Site (KRSS), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. The study examined risks from total PCBs, including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin equivalents (TEQWorld Health Organization [WHO]-Avia...

This investigation measured the extent of heavy metal concentrations (Cr, Pb, Fe, Zn and Ni) in nine finfish shellfish species from a tropical estuary to determine degree pollution evaluate human health risk exposure metals through consumption fish. The hierarchy mean (mg/kg) were: (398.47) > Fe (83.015) Cr (0.906) Ni (0.233) Pb (0.128). edible tissues were ranked following sequence: A. bato C....

Soil properties may change due to climate change, but in recent times, the changes occur as a result of anthropogenic activities such metal workshop operations. This study was conducted assess impact contamination on human health operating workshops. In this research work which carried out estimated risk heavy around workshops, five different Garejin Oga Abdul (GOA), Nakowa Welding Construction...

Abstract Background Excess accumulation of heavy metals in frequently consumed food (e.g., vegetables, fruits) is a serious threat to human health. The concentration four root vegetables and five leafy collected from the Kawran Bazar fresh vegetable market Dhaka, Bangladesh, were analyzed. Average daily intake (ADI), hazard quotient (HQ), index (HI) also estimated assess health risks posed by c...

In this study, the performance of one most popular household drinking water purification systems (WPS) Turkey was evaluated. Tap and purified samples were taken from İpsala District (Thrace Region). A total 23 significant quality assessment parameters including essential toxic metals (pH, TDS, EC, turbidity, Cl, NO3, SO4, PO4, BOD, COD, B, Al, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Mo, Sb, Ba, Pb) measure...

Background: Contamination of groundwater could result in serious and irreparable health problems for consumers. This study assessed the water quality human implications metals packaged from Abeokuta Sagamu, southwestern Nigeria. Methods: One hundred forty bags were purchased analyzed physical chemical parameters using standard procedures, while determined inductively coupled plasma optical emis...

introduction public transportation system is the perfect solution to organize transportation in the city. this system reduces the demand for private car or taxi area provides economic savings. public transport will not only reduce the use of private vehicles, but it will reduce traffic and air pollution. the public transportation system of buses to be extremist as one of the most efficient publ...
