“…The presence of elevated manganese levels in water can give rise to toxicity and pose health risks to individuals (WHO 2017a). Manganese is naturally occurring in various sources, including surface water, groundwater, and food (Oeppen 1998;Chowdhury et al 2022;Rushdi et al 2023). While manganese is an essential mineral for both humans and animals, research conducted on neonates receiving parenteral nutrition has indicated that excessive levels can lead to neurotoxicity (Gomes-Silva et al 2023).…”

The study presents an assessment of groundwater vulnerability due to heavy-metal contamination using Heavy Metal Pollution and Contamination Index of Urban Aligarh. Globally, hazardous compounds in industrially contaminated sites are pressing and high-priority issue. A detailed risk assessment was carried out to determine the potential health hazards linked to locations that were recently polluted. A total of 17 groundwater samples were taken from hand-pump and 20 industrial drainage samples were collected from selected areas of Aligarh. The concentration of heavy-metals in the collected samples analyzed were shown on maps using ArcGIS software and interpreted for Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPIx) and Contamination Index (CDx). These analyzed values were subsequently compared with the permissible limits established by the agencies like EPA, WHO, and BIS. The mean concentration of heavy-metals in groundwater of different locations was observed as follows particular sequence: Ni (1.40), Cu (0.58), Zn (0.06), Fe (0.08), Mn (0.04), Cr (0.001), Pb (0.00025) mg/l. Additionally in industrial effluent, Cr (18.3), Ni (13.34), Mn (1.16), Cu (1.99), Pb (1.2), Fe (6.3), Zn (0.51) mg/l. According to HPIx, the analysis reveals 64.7%, of visited areas belonged to have safe groundwater. Conversely, a smaller proportion, 35.3%, was found falling into heavy metal-polluted group.

“…The water quality index (WQI) was applied to assess the quality of groundwater based on the concentration of certain physicochemical parameters [49][50][51]. Such parameters were identified and assigned weights based on their potential impact on human health, particularly in the context of drinking water [52,53]. Table 3 presents the assigned weights (w i ) to physicochemical parameters ranging between 1 and 5.…”

“…Iron (Fe 2+ ) and manganese (Mn + ) have lower concentrations than the ions, but the values recorded are above those normally found in surface and underground waters, whose presence is evident in the samples collected, as they give a reddish color to the water. The presence of these minerals in groundwater is mainly due to the dissolution of rocks and minerals such as siderite, which are found in the ferrous state (Fe 2+ ); given the anoxic conditions of the aquifer environment, once in contact with the atmosphere it oxidizes, changing to the ferric state (Fe 3+ ), obtaining the appearance described above [53,59,60]. The identification of the exact minerals contributing to the presence of iron in the Arroyo Grande aquifer recures further mineralogic studies.…”

Hydrochemical analysis is crucial for understanding soil and water composition dynamics in coastal aquifers. This study presents a novel framework for the comprehensive assessment of groundwater quality, integrating multivariate analysis and hydrochemical techniques. It comprises seven stages aimed at characterizing physicochemical properties, identifying water constituents, elucidating dominant mechanisms in water composition, evaluating ion exchange processes, analyzing spatial distribution of components, identifying impacting processes, and assessing drinking water quality. The framework was applied to the coastal unconfined Arroyo Grande aquifer in Cartagena, Colombia. Fifteen points were sampled, assessing physicochemical parameters such as total hardness, alkalinity, pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, anions, cations, among others. Findings reveal the presence of dominant anions including bicarbonate, chloride, and sulfate, with relevant variations observed between the dry and wet season, with manganese and iron surpassing WHO drinking water standards. The prevalence of these constituents has been attributed to mineral dissolution, ion exchange, salinization due to seawater intrusion, and anthropogenic contamination. Over 50% of samples in both seasons fail to meet freshwater drinking standards due to elevated dissolved mineral concentrations in groundwater. These findings provide insights for sustainable management and mitigation strategies, and the systematic approach enables researchers to identify key factors influencing water composition.

Intense anthropogenic activities pose a serious threat to groundwater quality in urban areas. Assessing pollution levels and the health risks of trace elements within urban groundwater is crucial for protecting the groundwater environment. In this study, the heavy metal pollution index (HPI) and health risk assessment were conducted to analyze trace element pollution levels and the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks of groundwater resources in Sichuan Basin, SW China, based on the hydrochemical results of 114 groundwater samples. The HPI results displayed that 14.92% of groundwater samples were contaminated, primarily attributed to anthropogenic influence. The health risk assessment indicated that children faced the highest non-carcinogenic risk while adults had the highest carcinogenic risk. The Monte Carlo simulation further enhanced the reliability of the health risk model. A sensitivity analysis indicated that Pb was the most sensitive element affecting both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks. The achievements of this research would provide a basis for groundwater management in urban areas.
