Characterization and Utilization of Landfill-Mined-Soil-Like-Fractions (LFMSF) for Sustainable Development: A Critical Appraisal

N. Chandana et al.

Summary: Unscientifically created landfills and dumps pose a severe threat to the geoenvironment due to the uncontrolled release of greenhouse gases and toxic leachate. Landfill mining is being advocated as a method to recover resources such as metals, plastics, glass, and paper from these sites, but it generates large volumes of fine-fractions, also known as 'Landfill-Mined-Soil-like-Fractions' (LFMSF), which are a mix of organics, soils, debris, and smaller chips of metals, plastics, and glass. Utilizing LFMSF as a manmade resource for sustainable development is still a challenge due to site-specific characteristics and lack of understanding.

Heavy metal associated health hazards: An interplay of oxidative stress and signal transduction

Jagdish Gopal Paithankar et al.

Summary: The oxidative stress induced by heavy metals and its connection with different signaling pathways are complex, which may lead to a variety of health issues. Exposure to heavy metals/metalloids such as Arsenic, Chromium, Cadmium, and Lead can trigger oxidative stress and subsequently cellular and organismal responses, involving regulation of multiple signaling pathways.

Status, source, human health risk assessment of potential toxic elements (PTEs), and Pb isotope characteristics in urban surface soil, case study: Arak city, Iran

Meghdad Bineshpour et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the contamination levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in surface soils from Arak city, indicating that the main sources of PTEs are anthropogenic and geogenic inputs, particularly from industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust. The findings suggest that residents, especially children, are at risk of carcinogenic effects due to the high levels of PTEs in the soil.

Health Risk and Geochemical Assessment of Trace Elements in Surface Sediment along the Hooghly (Ganges) River Estuary (India)

Priyanka Mondal et al.

Summary: This study investigated the spatial and seasonal distribution of trace elements in sediment along the Hooghly River Estuary in India and their effects on human health. The results suggest that Cd is the major contaminant, Ni shows moderate/high contamination, and children are more exposed to carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks compared to adults. High lifetime cancer risks were found for Cr and As in children, indicating the need for management of significant carcinogenic risks.

Trace element-based geochemical contamination characteristics and potential risks to human health: a case study from Northeast Turkey

Yasar Kobya et al.

Summary: Based on the results of enrichment factor, geo-accumulation index, and contamination factor, the soils of Artvin province show slight enrichment, moderate pollution, and very high contamination with arsenic. The pollution load index score indicates that Artvin province is polluted in terms of trace elements. HI values for children and adults reveal that there may be a non-carcinogenic risk for children. Total potential carcinogenic health risk values suggest a potential risk for children rather than adults.
