Quality and health risk assessment of water resources in Sızma-Lâdik (Konya) inactive mining area, Turkey

Evaluation of the Geogenic-Effected Groundwater Antimony Pollution, in the Settlement Area, Utilizing the Water Quality Index and Health Risk Assessments: A Case Study from Kiraz Basin, İzmir, Turkiye

“…The data obtained using the WQI can be easily used by both decision-makers and stakeholders to make quick and effective decisions on water quality. In the literature, using the WQI model, various studies on the determination of water quality in both surface and groundwater are available. ,, …”

“…In order to evaluate the non-carcinogenic effects caused by more than one chemical, the hazard index (HI) approach was developed based on the EPA’s Health Risk Assessment Guidelines for Chemical Mixtures. ,,, This approach assumes that adverse health consequences may be encountered with the simultaneous intake of several chemicals at sub-threshold values.…”

“…In the literature, using the WQI model, various studies on the determination of water quality in both surface and groundwater are available. 23,27,59 It is aimed to show how important it is to know heavy metal content and to include them in classifications, especially in determining the drinking water quality of settlements around ore deposits within the scope of this study. For this reason, two different WQI classifications were done and interpreted.…”

“…There are many hydrogeochemical studies in the literature conducted in and around ore deposits in Turkiye. − Performing detailed water analysis in groundwater samples taken from water boreholes in Kiraz, an important district of İzmir province, is of great importance both in terms of public health and food safety. In this respect, this study aimed to investigate the groundwater quality of Kiraz, which is one of the important districts of Izmir, with hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical tools.…”

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Water Quality Using Water Quality Index and Heavy Metal Pollution Index: A Case Study of Al-Diwaniyah River, Iraq

“…The relatively high concentration of Pb (0.0011-0.3670 mg/L) in the river water, especially in Al-Hamza station, may be due to the increase in gasoline use and agricultural drainage water. Textile factory dumps untreated pollutants directly into the river, so they are considered possible sources of the metal [39][40][41]. Despite the strong adsorption of the Pb on the sediment particles [42], their high levels in Al-Diwaniyah River may indicate that it was more than most of the other heavy metals and exceeded the WHO and Iraqi standards during the summer, Fall and spring seasons with values of 0.367, 0.128 and 0.105 respectively.…”
