“…The result of (Mushtaq et al, 2020;Ramsay et al, 2021;Sheikhi et al, 2021;Ul et al, 2021) Overall results shows that the maximum value of HD in children 1.36E+00 after this in female 1.24E+00 and in male observed 9.71E-01. This is due to the body weight also showed by Abbas et al (2021); Alsubih et al (2021). The HD > 1 value observed in Pb in the TWW, BWW, and FPW.…”

Due to papulation increase in Pakistan the demand of drinking water increased day by day. After the industrial grooming the wastewater producing harmful effect on the surrounding area of industries and drinking water contamination increased. Pakistan is on 82 amongst the 125 countries of the word having drinking water problem. Different parameter set by World Health Organization (WHO) and Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (Pak‐EPA) of hazard dimension index (HD) and Lifetime Cancerogenic risk Calculation (LFCR) of Potentially toxic metals that are As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb (PTMs) are higher, and the school age children are under high risk of cancer. All the drinking constraints set by regulating authority is fully neglected by inopportune human process by solid waste dumping and houses and industrial disposal with any proper treatment. This study discusses all the HD and LFCR parameter in three age group children, male and female through drinking water around the Hattar Industrial Estate (HIE) in Pakistan. In children and women more HD and LFCR thread than the adult man. The overall result shows that the HD risk is higher than the LFCR due to the PTMs in drinking water only HD is exceed from the limit of WHO and Pak‐EPA. If there is no proper arrangement take place for the removal of As and PTMs from the industrial wastewater and drinking water than within few years all the population around the study area effected with different type of cancer.

“…As and these industries not remove As from the wastewater and drain it into surrounding field. Due to less availability of fresh water local farmer used this wastewater for irrigation and through this As leach out to ground water (Abbas et al, 2021;Alsubih et al, 2021;Genchi et al, 2020;Küçüksümbül & Toygar, 2022;Mohammadi et al, 2019).…”

“…Because HMs are non-biodegradable, they can build up in the environment to dangerous levels for human health [ 15 , 16 ]. Decreasing or rising pH of water are two significant physicochemical processes or setups that lead to PHEs movement into groundwater [ 17 ]. In addition to natural and human activities, PHE concentrations in groundwater can also increase due to low hydrological slope leading to reduced water infiltration, or an arid climate leading to evaporative buildup [ 18 ].…”

“…PHMs can negatively affect human health and is the common cause of various health diseases such as cancer, hyperkeratosis, melanosis, peripheral vascular diseases, lung diseases, and hypertension are some of the health outcomes associated with toxic metals ranging from acute to chronic effects (Nawab et al, 2018b;Khalid et al, 2020;Ricolfi et al, 2020). The important physicochemical structures or setups that contribute the mobility of PHMs into the aquifers are either lowering or increasing pH in the watershed (Nawab et al, 2018c;Alsubih et al, 2021). PHMs in groundwater can also rise due to a low hydrological slope, which causes lesser infiltration of water, or an arid climate, which causes evaporating accumulation (Nawab et al, 2018d;Kaur et al, 2020).…”

Groundwater contamination through potentially harmful metals (PHMs) is an environmental hazard in Pakistan with significant human health risk reports. The current research was conducted in Sheikhupura District, which is a major industrial site in Punjab, Pakistan. According to the Punjab Directorate of Industries in Pakistan, there are a total of 748 industries in this area. These industries produce a lot of waste and effluent, which contaminate the environment with harmful and toxic materials. Continuous irrigation with industrial effluent and sewage sludge may make groundwater sources vulnerable. Therefore, we collected 243 groundwater samples from community tube wells to investigate the groundwater quality cconcerning PHM contaminations in the study area. This research presents the values of pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), and potentially harmful metals (PHMs) like arsenic (As), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe). PHMs such as As (91%), Mn (14%), Pb (97%), Fe (45%), Zn (15%), in these samples were beyond the permitted limit recommended by the world health organization (WHO). Principal component analysis (PCA) results with total variability of (60%) reveal that the groundwater sources of the study area are contaminated about 30.9, 31.3, and 37.6% of contaminations of groundwater sources of this study are resulted from geogenic sources, anthropogenic sources, or both geogenic and anthropogenic sources, respectively. Such sources may include rock-water interaction, mining actions, agricultural practices, domestic sewage, and industrial effluent in the study area. Saturation indices show that the aquifers of the study area are saturated with lead hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, and goethite minerals, indicating that these minerals have a vital role in the contamination of groundwater. Health risk assessment results predicted that the non-carcinogenic risk (HQ) values of PHMs were found within the permissible limit (<1), except As (1.58E+00) for children, while carcinogenic risk (CR) values of all selected PHMs were lower than the maximum threshold CR value (1 × 10−4).
