Hydrogeochemical and isotopic assessment for characterizing groundwater quality and recharge processes in the Lower Anayari catchment of the Upper East Region, Ghana

Dickson Abdul-Wahab et al.

Summary: The study assessed the groundwater chemistry in the Lower Anayari Catchment (LAC) and identified silicate mineral dissolution and agrochemicals/domestic waste as the main factors impacting groundwater quality. Stable isotopes analysis showed that groundwater in LAC mainly originates from meteoric water, with some deviations suggesting evaporation or recharge from an enriched source.

A study of hydrogeochemical processes using integrated geochemical and multivariate statistical methods and health risk assessment of groundwater in Trans-Varuna region, Uttar Pradesh

Sughosh Madhav et al.

Summary: The study analyzed groundwater samples in the Trans-Varuna region of Uttar Pradesh, revealing that a portion of the samples exceeded WHO drinking water standards and showed elevated levels of heavy metals. While most samples were suitable for agricultural use, the research also indicated that infants and children in the area are highly vulnerable to nitrate contamination.

Geospatial Distribution and Potential Noncarcinogenic Health Risk Assessment of Nitrate Contaminated Groundwater in Southern India: A Case Study

Narsimha Adimalla et al.

Summary: Groundwater nitrate contamination in Nirmal province, South India has been assessed in this study, with nitrate concentration ranging from 0.8-130 mg/L and 26.47% of samples exceeding WHO drinking water guidelines. Health risk assessment shows that children are more vulnerable to noncarcinogenic health risks of nitrate compared to adult males and females.

Groundwater quality evaluation using Shannon information theory and human health risk assessment in Yazd province, central plateau of Iran

Vahab Amiri et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the groundwater quality in Yazd, Iran, finding that increased salinity is due to interactions with silicates and direct cation exchange. Through entropy theory and entropy weighted water quality index, the study reveals the controlling variables of groundwater chemistry and the water quality status, with approximately half of the samples being affected by health risks.

Impact of land use on shallow groundwater quality characteristics associated with human health risks in a typical agricultural area in Central China

Xi Liu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the shallow groundwater in the Jianghan Plain is polluted by nitrogen and phosphorus, with higher nutrient concentrations in the dry season than in the rainy season, significantly influenced by cultivated land. Approximately 75% of the samples have a health risk index higher than 1, indicating potential risks to human health.

Groundwater quality evolution based on geochemical modeling and aptness testing for ingestion using entropy water quality and total hazard indexes in an urban-industrial area (Tiruppur) of Southern India

D. Karunanidhi et al.

Summary: This study in an urban-industrial area of southern India found that groundwater samples had high levels of fluoride and nitrate exceeding WHO limits, with majority showing high salinization levels and poor water quality. Groundwater posed health risks for children, women, and men due to high levels of nitrate and fluoride.

Groundwater chemistry, distribution and potential health risk appraisal of nitrate enriched groundwater: A case study from the semi-urban region of South India

Narsimha Adimalla et al.

Summary: Global groundwater is facing an increasing problem of elevated nitrate concentration, which directly impacts human health. Research in a specific region showed that a significant portion of groundwater samples exceeded safe nitrate levels according to Indian guidelines. Health risk assessment revealed that oral exposure to nitrate poses a higher risk than dermal contact, with a considerable percentage of groundwater samples in the study area posing non-carcinogenic health risks for children, females, and males.

A characterization of groundwater fluoride, influencing factors and risk to human health in the southwest plain of Shandong Province, North China

Jiutan Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the fluoride concentration in groundwater from the southwest plain of Shandong Province, finding spatial and seasonal variations in the fluoride levels influenced by factors such as calcium, pH, bicarbonate, and sodium. The results suggest a regionalization pattern of low concentrations in the east and high concentrations in the west, with important factors affecting groundwater fluoride levels identified.

Characterization of the hydrochemistry of water resources of the Weibei Plain, Northern China, as well as an assessment of the risk of high groundwater nitrate levels to human health

Jiutan Liu et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the hydrochemistry of water resources in the Weibei Plain, Northern China, and found that high groundwater nitrate concentrations were mainly due to anthropogenic inputs, posing risks to human health. Groundwater showed relatively high NO3- concentrations, originating from agricultural production and domestic sewage, with implications for residents' health, especially infants and children.

Fluoride and nitrate in groundwater of rural habitations of semiarid region of northern Rajasthan, India: a hydrogeochemical, multivariate statistical, and human health risk assessment perspective

Anchal Jandu et al.

Summary: In the rural areas of Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan, India, groundwater is contaminated with high concentrations of fluoride and nitrate, exceeding the permissible limits set by Bureau of Indian Standards and World Health Organization. The study indicates that anthropogenic factors contribute to the high nitrate concentrations observed in the area, leading to poor water quality index and potential health risks for the residents. The dominant hydrochemical facies and geochemical mechanisms governing the evolution of groundwater hydrogeochemistry in the region are identified through principle component analysis and Gibbs plot.

Sources, controls, and probabilistic health risk assessment of fluoride contamination in groundwater from a semi-arid region in Gujarat, Western India: An isotope-hydrogeochemical perspective

Reema Mandal et al.

Summary: This study investigated fluoride contamination in groundwaters of a rural region in semi-arid Western India using geochemical and isotopic techniques, along with Health Quotient assessment. It found that high fluoride levels were mainly from water-rock interaction and phosphate fertilizers. Samples with high fluoride content were characterized by high pH, Na, and alkalinity, and low Ca, with calcite precipitation affecting the solubility of fluoride-bearing minerals. Estimated non-carcinogenic risks revealed that hundreds of thousands of adults and children may be at risk of fluorosis.
