“…The health risk assessment of heavy metals in tap water/drinking water has been carried out in different parts of the world. For example, carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risk assessment in Iran ( Alidadi et al., 2019 ; Fallahzadeh et al., 2017 ; Mohammadi et al., 2019 ; Rezaei et al., 2019 ; Sadeghi et al., 2018 ; Saleh et al., 2019 ; Sarvestani and Aghasi, 2019 ), compositional and health risk assessment in Pakistan ( Muhammad et al., 2011 ; Murtaza et al., 2019 ), and water quality and human health risk assessment in China ( Ji et al., 2020 ). Perhaps it is good to conclude by stating the two-sides of the study outcomes: some with low risk and some in alarmingly high risk.…”

“…Several studies were performed previously in different countries assessing the heavy metal contamination in different environmental samples such as water, sediment, soil, and foodstuff ( Ahmad et al., 2020 ; Alidadi et al., 2019 ; Barbieri et al., 2019 ; Egbueri and Unigwe, 2020 ; Jehan et al., 2020 ; Khalid et al., 2020 ; Mazhar and Ahmad, 2020 ; Rasool et al., 2016 ; Sarvestani and Aghasi, 2019 ). However, there is no assessment in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, related to the municipal water supplies.…”

Water is an essential component of all living things on earth and the contamination of water by heavy metals can cause detrimental health effects. This study aimed to determine the health risk posed by trace elements (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Cr, Cd, Co, Pb, and As) present in the drinking water supplies of Gullele and Akaki-Kality Sub-Cities, upstream and downstream parts of Addis Ababa, respectively. The concentrations of the potentially toxic trace elements in the water samples were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The highest concentration of the heavy metals was observed for Iron. Cadmium and cobalt were not detected in any of the tap water samples. Samples from Gullele contained higher levels of Fe and Mn, 220.3 ± 0.17 and 19.78 ± 0.08 μg/L, respectively compared to Akaki-Kality, 38.87 ± 0.14 and 2.08 ± 0.01 μg/L, respectively. Conversely, tap water from Akaki-Kality contained significantly higher levels of As than that from Gullele. Additionally, Cr and Ni were detected only in samples from Akaki-Kality, which might be due to the various industries in the area. The highest incremental lifetime cancer risk was found for arsenic, with values for children and adults in Akaki-Kality 2.50 × 10 −4 and 4.50 × 10 −4 , respectively. Likewise, in Gullele Sub-City, it was 5.00 × 10 −5 and 1.00 × 10 −4 for adults and children, respectively. The results indicate that carcinogenic risk occurrence is probable from As in both studied areas.

Background. Most traditional medicines were prepared from plant origins. These plants could be contaminated by heavy metals, pesticides, and/or toxins. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the level of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu) in frequently used traditional herbal preparations sold in Northeast Ethiopia and to estimate their health risks associated with their daily intake. Methods. A total of 6 traditional herbal preparations were randomly collected from local herbal shops of Dessie and Kombolcha town, Northeast Ethiopia. The samples were prepared for analysis by wet digestion method using nitric acid and hydrochloric acid treatment. The accuracy of the method was analyzed by the spike recovery test. Determination of Pb, Cd, Cr, and Cu by microwave plasma atomic emission spectroscopy was made in herbal preparations traditionally used in Dessie and Kombolcha town, Northeast Ethiopia. By calculating estimated daily intake (EDI), hazard quotients (HQ), and Hazard Index (HI) of metals, the health risk associated with the consumption of the analyzed herbal preparations was also evaluated. Results. The levels of heavy metals were in the range of 3.0–3.92 mg/kg for Pb, 5.35–10.7 mg/kg for Cr, and 0.815–12.3 mg/kg for Cu. However, cadmium was not detected in any of the traditional herbal preparations. This study revealed that the level of Pb and Cu in all analyzed samples was within the WHO maximum permissible limit of 10 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg, respectively. The level of Cr in all traditional herbal preparations was beyond the WHO maximum permissible limit (2 mg/kg). From the health point of view, the HQ value of Cr for KD-03 and KD-04 is greater than 1, suggesting potential health risk. Furthermore, the HI value had revealed that the consumption of KD-02, KD-03, and KD-04 samples had the potential of posing health risks to consumers over long-term consumption of herbal preparations. Conclusion. This study showed that most of the metal concentration levels in the herbal products were within the WHO maximum permissible limits. However, all samples had Cr levels above the WHO maximum permissible limit. Based on the results of this study, there would be a noncarcinogenic health risk to the consumer associated with the consumption of some herbal preparations marketed in Northeast Ethiopia.

Copper (Cu2+) is a metal chemical element closely related to human life and is widely used in many fields. However, with the discharge of copper wastewater, the water quality will be seriously affected, leading to excessive intake of Cu2+ and a variety of diseases. Hence, there is a pressing need for an effective detection method for Cu2+ in aqueous environments. Leveraging the remarkable attributes of GFP chromophores and indenone derivatives, we have created a novel colorimetric fluorescent probe P‐Cu2+, tailored for efficient copper ion detection. The addition of Cu2+ causes the solution to visibly change from colorless to a pronounced yellow, enabling naked‐eye detection and offering promise for real sample analysis.
