Ipsala district in the northwest of Turkey is an intensive agricultural area where paddy cultivation has been carried out for over 50 years. The levels of toxic metals in drinking water samples were measured and compared with guidelines, showing that water quality is suitable for consumption with no health risks. Carcinogenic risk levels were within acceptable range, indicating no health hazards to local residents.
Ipsala district located in the northwest of Turkey is an intensive agricultural area, where paddy cultivation has been carried out for more than 50 years. The main source for drinking water in the area is groundwater. Since large amounts of agrochemicals are applied to the paddy fields, groundwater in the study area can be contaminated with toxic metal (loid)s (TMs). In this study, levels of eight TMs in the drinking water samples taken from the district and its 22 villages in the dry and wet seasons were measured and compared with drinking water quality guidelines. In addition, non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks, and pollution status of TMs were assessed. The mean values of Cd, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, Pb, As and Cr in both seasons were below the drinking water limits. High clay content and low infiltration rate of the soils in the study area may have caused low TM concentrations. The TMs levels were higher in the wet season due to high rainfall intensity. Metal pollution indices indicated that groundwater quality is suitable for potable uses. All hazard quotient and hazard index results for children and adults in both seasons were lower than the acceptable risk level of 1. Carcinogenic risk results of As and Cr in both seasons were within or below the acceptable risk range. These findings revealed that the TMs in the drinking water would not pose health risks to the local residents.
