Investigating sources, driving forces and potential health risks of nitrate and fluoride in groundwater of a typical alluvial fan plain

Yong Xiao et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the changes in groundwater chemistry are driven by both water-rock interaction and anthropogenic influences. Anthropogenic inputs/influences are the dominant factors increasing groundwater nitrate content and salinity, posing potential noncarcinogenic risks to various populations through oral intake pathway. Rational measures should be taken to protect groundwater quality out of the threats of anthropogenic pollution.

Hydrogeochemical insights into the signatures, genesis and sustainable perspective of nitrate enriched groundwater in the piedmont of Hutuo watershed, China

Yong Xiao et al.

Summary: Groundwater nitrate contamination is a global issue that threatens water supply, especially in arid and semiarid piedmonts. An extensive hydrogeochemical investigation was conducted in a heavily human-impacted semiarid piedmont in North China. The study found that the groundwater in this area is alkaline and has high variations of salinity. The concentration of nitrate in the groundwater exceeds the permissible limit recommended by the World Health Organization. Anthropogenic inputs from residential land usage are responsible for the nitrate enrichment and salinity increase. The study also assessed the non-carcinogenic risks posed by nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia through dermal and oral pathways for different population groups. The findings indicate that all population groups are at risk, with minors being more susceptible. Measures such as improving awareness, environmental protection, and targeted water treatment are recommended for sustainable groundwater resource development in arid and semiarid piedmonts.
