“…ARPCIW = Age range of paint chips obtained in walls (years) followed by lead for both adults and children. These ndings are consistent with other studies that have reported high levels of heavy metals in indoor dust and paint chips, and their potential health risks to the occupants, especially children and pregnant women(Lin et al, 2015; Chem et al, 2023;Soltanpour et al, 2023). Heavy metals in indoor environments can originate from various sources, such as interior paint, metal objects, building materials, vehicle emissions, and soil(Lin et al, 2015).…”

Paints beautify and shield houses, but may have risky metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury that endanger occupants, mainly children and pregnant women. To assess the levels and health risks of 14 metals in paint chips from indoor walls of residential houses in four states in South-western Nigeria. Paint chips were collected from 144 houses with childrens’ occupants and analyzed for metals using inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometer. The Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) levels (mg/kg) ranged from 1239.9-2254.2 and 1126.5- 3080.3 in all the states examined, respectively. Arsenic (As) ranged from 1236.3- 915.2 ± 4.800 and 972.5–1492.0 in Lagos and Ibadan, respectively. In Ado-Ekiti and Akure, the levels of As ranged 828.3- 920.4 and 822.1-842.3 mg/kg, respectively. The chronic daily intake, hazard quotient, hazard index, and lifetime cancer risk of metals were estimated for ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure routes. The concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, and lead in paint chips exceeded the permissible limits for paints. The highest metal exposure and health risk were through ingestion, followed by inhalation and dermal contact. Children had higher exposure and risk than adults. Arsenic had the highest hazard index and lifetime cancer risk among the metals, followed by lead, chromium, and cadmium. The study revealed that paint chips from indoor walls pose a significant source of metal contamination and health risk, especially for children. There is a need for stricter regulation and monitoring of metal content in paints and paint chips in Nigeria.

“…The adverse health effects associated with the inhalation of welding fumes (WFs) have been well documented in several epidemiological and biological studies showing an increase in mortality and in respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity. 1–12 In 2018, WFs were classified as a human carcinogen (Group 1) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). In a working atmosphere, fumes emitted by thermal processes such as welding or thermal spraying operations are unintentional by-products of these processes.…”
