Arsenic in the geo-environment: A review of sources, geochemical processes, toxicity and removal technologies

N. Janardhana Raju

Summary: Arsenic contamination in groundwater is a global concern for human health through drinking and irrigation practices. The review in this paper covers sources, processes, health effects, and treatment technologies for arsenic removal. The most serious known arsenic contamination problem with the largest population at risk is found in Bangladesh and West Bengal state in India.

Coastal macrophytes as bioindicators of trace metals in the Asia's largest lagoon ecosystem

Sadaf Nazneen et al.

Summary: Coastal trace metal contamination is a serious concern and the use of new bioindicator species in monitoring is crucial. This study measured trace metal concentrations in sediment and macrophytes in Chilika lagoon, India, and examined the bioindicator potential of seagrasses, saltmarshes, and macroalgae. The findings showed variations in the accumulation of different trace metals in different plant species.

Assessment of toxicity and potential health risk from persistent pesticides and heavy metals along the Delhi stretch of river Yamuna

Musarrat Parween et al.

Summary: The study aimed at evaluating the environmental quality of the most polluted stretch of river Yamuna in Delhi, focusing on the presence of harmful substances in sediment and vegetable samples, and assessing the ecological and dietary health risks posed to the local population. The results indicated significant contamination of sediments with heavy metals, with some metals reaching levels of high concern, and high translocation factors in vegetables, suggesting bioaccumulation and potential health risks to consumers.

Potentially toxic elements in soil and road dust around Sonbhadra industrial region, Uttar Pradesh, India: Source apportionment and health risk assessment

Arif Ahamad et al.

Summary: The study found significant mercury contamination in the soil and road dust samples from the Sonbhadra region, while arsenic contamination was found to be moderate. The assessment of potential toxic elements' risks for adults and children showed values below the safe threshold, except for iron in the ingestion pathway for children.

Assessment of heavy metal pollution in Yamuna River, Delhi-NCR, using heavy metal pollution index and GIS

Mohd Asim et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the concentrations of heavy metals in the Yamuna River using the HPI approach. Results showed high pollution levels in the river water, exceeding permissible limits for drinking water. Significant variations in heavy metal concentrations between sampling sites were observed, likely due to industrial effluents and sewage wastes entering the river water through anthropogenic activities.

Seasonal variation of potentially toxic metal contamination in Yamuna riverine ecosystem, Delhi, India

Shobhika Parmar et al.

Summary: The study concluded that the River Yamuna in Delhi region carries potentially toxic metals discharged from industrial, agricultural, and household activities, with higher metal loads observed in downstream sites compared to international standards. Spatial and temporal variations in metal concentrations suggest seasonal variation and common point sources for some metals, calling for regular monitoring and strict regulations to prevent further contamination.

Uptake prediction of nine heavy metals by Eichhornia crassipes grown in irrigation canals: A biomonitoring approach

Ebrahem M. Eid et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop regression equations to estimate the absorption of heavy metals by E. crassipes and their distribution among different organs, finding that heavy metals were more concentrated in the roots of E. crassipes, showing a significant correlation with the levels of heavy metals in the water.

Production of biogas from human faeces mixed with the co-substrate poultry litter & cow dung

Shubhra Singh et al.

Summary: The study shows that co-digestion of human faeces with cow dung produces higher biogas yield, possibly due to maximum COD reduction, optimum C/N ratio, and faster bacterial activity on cow dung. However, pathogen inactivation remains inefficient after anaerobic digestion.

Assessment of selected trace metals in fish feeds, pond water and edible muscles of Oreochromis mossambicus and the evaluation of human health risk associated with its consumption in Vhembe district of Limpopo Province, South Africa

Mukhethwa P. Mannzhi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the levels of trace metals in fish feeds, water, and edible muscles of fish in South Africa. Most trace metals were within recommended limits but copper and iron exceeded the limits at the control site. The presence of metals in water could bioaccumulate in fish muscles, with some metals showing moderate to extreme bioaccumulation in certain sampling sites. Overall, there was no carcinogenic health risk identified for consumers of the fish.
