Occurrence and Health Risks of Heavy Metals in Drinking Water of Self-Supplied Wells in Northern China

Abstract: Self-supplied wells, an important water resource in remote and scattered regions, are commonly deteriorated by environmental pollution and human activity. In this study, 156 self-supplied well-water samples were collected from remote and scattered areas of Inner Mongolia (NMG), Heilongjiang (HLJ), and the suburbs of Beijing (BJ) in Northern China. Twenty-four heavy metals were identified by using the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrome… Show more

“…TCR is commonly used to calculate the lifetime probability of developing any type of cancer in an individual due to exposure to carcinogens [44][45][46][47], and in this paper, TCR is used to assess the carcinogenic risk of HMs in rice as the product of contaminant exposure dose and carcinogenic intensity indicator to reflect the likelihood of long-term carcinogenic risk occurrence. The expression of the carcinogenic risk assessment equation is as follows:…”

“…Carcinogenic risk (CR) is commonly used to calculate the probability that an individual will develop a certain cancer as a result of exposure to a chemical [36][37][38][39], and the sum of the carcinogenic risks of various chemicals is the total carcinogenic risk (TCR) when multiple chemicals act on the body at the same time. In this paper, the total carcinogenic risk was used to assess the carcinogenic risk of heavy metals in wheat to humans through dietary intake, considering that wheat contains several heavy metal elements that can combine to cause carcinogenic effects in humans.…”

“…Commonly high concentrations of nutrients like nitrogen compounds, phosphates, and pesticides have been found coming from agricultural applications of agrochemicals in agricultural areas, but microbiological contamination has been found from multiple human or animal faecal sources influenced by on-site specific factors (Khatri et al, 2015;O'Dwyer et al, 2018). Another major group of substances are of natural origin, such as inorganic substances, but also trace elements, such as heavy metals or arsenic seems to be a general problem affecting water quality in dug wells as well as boreholes (Wongsasuluk et al, 2014;Bai et al, 2022). Considering the vulnerability of water quality in wells, it is important to continue the search for new water quality characterisation tools to better understand drinking water contamination sources and processes affecting water quality.…”
