Environmental Quality and Human Health Risk of Urban Groundwater Sources Based on Hydrochemical Analysis: a Case Study of Suzhou, China

Abstract: Groundwater is the main water supply in Suzhou City in China. In recent years, heavy metal contamination of urban groundwater sources has become a serious threat to water quality and human health. Groundwater samples from 87 monitoring wells were collected in the study area and analyzed using ICP-MS spectrometry, their major heavy metals concentrations have been analyzed by a series of chemical and statistical indexes for the evaluation of pollution status and dinking suitability. We found that heavy metals ar… Show more

“…Wang L. et al [8] and Zhang Q. et al [9] provide foundational insights into the environmental quality and human health risks associated with water pollution due to rapid urbanization in China. Building on this, Yang W et al's [10] evaluation of green development levels presents a stark contrast in regional ecological efforts, while Yang W. et al [11] four-party evolutionary game model offers a nuanced understanding of regulatory compliance dynamics.…”

“…There is a serious danger to the environment if heavy metals get into the soil during compost treatment. At the same time, heavy metals in the soil are gradually absorbed by crops as they grow and eventually enter the human body in the form of food [13]. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct a heavy metals test on the pertinent soil following the application of kitchen compost [14].…”
