“…The The calculated HQ for the three main exposure routes showed that ingestion of particulate matter pose greater health risk effect followed by inhalation and dermal contact pathways. This order is in conformity with previously reported studies [56,62,63]. The values of the total hazard index (HI) revealed that children and adults were less than one for inhalation and dermal contact, suggesting no non-carcinogenic adverse health effects.…”

“…Elements such as Cd, Ni, Cr and Pb were established to be in significant amounts in the PM10 and therefore, they may pose a severe risk to human health [52,55]. ) Table 4 presents the elemental constituents of PM10 reported elsewhere in the world, e.g., Jeddah, Saudi Arabia [49], Beijing, China [56], Agra, India [57], Changping, China [9], Ibadan, Nigeria [27], Changhua, Taiwan [58], Accra, Ghana [44], and Lahore, Pakistan [59]. In comparison, the mean concentrations of Mo, Pb, Cu, Mn, Se and Ba in Beijing, China [56], were above the values obtained in this study, while Cu, Fe and Zn in this study were higher than the concentrations reported in Agra, India [57] and Cr, Ni, Cu, Sr, Zn, As and Fe in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia [49].…”

The study determined the ambient mass concentrations, chemical composition and health risks associated with PM10 around Ashaka cement factory, Gombe, Nigeria. The samples were collected for the period (2019-2020). A total of 60 PM10 samples were collected and analyzed for seventeen elements using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The data collected were analyzed for descriptive and inferential statistics. The health risk was analyzed for hazard quotient (HQ), hazard index (HI) and cancer risk (CR). The average annual PM10 mass concentrations were found to be higher than the annual limit value for air quality standards (40 μgm-3). The HI estimated were >1 for children, while CR values of Cd, Ni, As and Cr for children and Cr for adults were higher than the acceptable value 10-6, indicating children are more probable to develop cancer than adults.

“…In the present study, only Ba and K demonstrated higher levels in urban honey samples (Table 5); interestingly, higher levels of Ba were found in honey from Gorzów Wlkp., compared with Szczecin (Table S5). This could result from pollution caused by a fireworks display held in Gorzów Wlkp., which is in line with the literature on the subject [48][49][50][51]. In addition, the honey from Gorzów Wlkp.…”

Urban vegetation is generally exposed to high levels of air pollution in airborne particles, with the greatest exposure in the EU being seen in Poland. With the continuing growth of urban populations, there is a need to confirm whether honey produced from urban areas is of similar high quality to that from rural areas. A total of 27 honey samples were collected from urban and rural apiaries and tested for the concentrations of 19 elements by ICP-OES. The results were compared with data on honey produced in old and new EU countries (metadata). Our evaluation used a novel approach to determine threshold values in the identification of the bioproduct contamination index. The analysed urban honey samples demonstrated higher concentrations of K, Sr, Ba, Ni, and Co, and lower levels of Mn and B than rural honey samples. Contamination by PM10 particles and the toxic elements contained in them proved to be a poor predictor of the content of these elements in honey, in contrast to the effect of atmospheric pollution measured during firework shows, which demonstrated higher concentrations of Ba, Pb, Ca, Cu, and Mg. The non-carcinogenic risk assessment indicated that the analysed honey samples are of good quality and are comparable or of even better quality than honey products from other EU countries.

Exposure to fine particulate-bound toxic metals in ambient air poses adverse effects to human. This study aims to determine the spatial variability in heavy metals in PM2.5 samples, for identifying their potential sources and to perform health risk modelling. PM2.5 samples were collected using a high-volume sampler on a 24 h basis from three sites in Johor areas in Malaysia from January to March 2019. Metals were initially extracted using microwave-assisted digestion and the metal concentrations were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. Overall, the abundant metals in PM2.5 among the metals analyzed were Zn with mean 29.92 ng/m3 and Se with mean 27.02 ng/m3. The sources of PM-bound metals were identified using absolute principal component score with multiple linear regression. The major contribution was noted from vehicle emission (41%). Other potential sources for the metals in PM2.5 were from coal-fired power plants (34%) and oil refineries and industrial emission (4%), leaving 22% of metals undefined. From the health risk analysis, the hazard quotient (HQ) and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) values of the metals were within the tolerance level. The trend for HQ values was Co < Zn < Pb < Cu < Ni < As for adolescents and Co < Zn < Cu < Pb < Ni < As for adult age, whereas for ELCR values, the trends were the same for both adolescent and adult age groups as Pb < Ni < As. Few of the toxic metals showed comparatively high HQ values that might be a risk in long-term exposure. Considering the highest noted contribution from vehicular emissions, it is advised to raise public awareness to practice carpooling and use public transportation to reduce emissions from vehicular sources.
