“…Briefly, available data from our analyses have revealed that sewage and industrial wastewater is unfit for irrigation purpose and has potential hazards due to the accumulation of metals. Earlier studies by Rafique et al (2016) and Latif et al (2018) also supported the findings of the present investigation and confirmed the availability of different heavy metals in cultivated soil of various areas of the Dera Ghazi Khan district. These areas were irrigated with sewage and industrial wastewater for a long time.…”

“…Likewise, the mean accumulation of heavy metals for all 17 stands has also revealed an elevated concentration of chromium (11.32 mg/ kg). Foregoing deep insight, by differentiating the irrigated sites, ten sites SF-5, SF 7-10, and SF 12-17 have been found with the elevated metal contents (Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) under the cultivation of the cotton crop, might be due to excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides along with the wastewater application as reported earlier (Rafique et al, 2016;Gill et al, 2016;Gill et al, 2017). Briefly, available data from our analyses have revealed that sewage and industrial wastewater is unfit for irrigation purpose and has potential hazards due to the accumulation of metals.…”

“…Heavy metals (mg/kg) were detected in the irrigated soils and vegetables were in the order of Cr [(17.89) > Ni (9.24) > Zn (2.31) > Pb (0.84) > Cu (0.29) > Cd (0.186); and Mn (137.3) > Cr (6.62) > Fe ( 968)]. Chromium, Mn, Fe, Ni, and Pb were exceeding the FAO/WHO limits (Aderinola and Kusemiju, 2012;Rafique et al, 2016;Latif et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2021).…”

Human health is the main concern related to use of crop products irrigated with contaminated irrigation sources. Present research has been conducted to explore heavy metal status of sewage and industrial wastewater being used up for irrigation purpose in the peri-urban areas of the district Dera Ghazi Khan which has not been explored widely before. The analysis also followed heavy metal detection in the subsequent irrigated soil and vegetables/crop plants in relation to assessment of health risk to the consumer to plan the future monitoring in this area. An unremitting boost of heavy metals into the environment from wastewater irrigation has become a global issue. These heavy metals enter the food chain and pose health assumptions to consumers upon utilization. In the present study, an investigation has been conducted to determine metal concentrations in the wastewater, soil, and different plant species. For wastewater samples, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), and selected heavy metals such as Al, As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, and Ni were determined. The mean values of heavy metals in the soil samples were within the WHO/FAO safe limit, while Cr and Pb were the most frequent (100%) among the metals. However, differentiating the sites, the concentration of Cr and Cu, Ni, and Fe were elevated. The metal transfer was highly effective from soil to the growing plants i.e. brinjal, red corn, wheat, tomato, and spinach than other plant species. Among the metals, Cr, Ni, Mn, and Pb in plant samples were exceeding the WHO/FAO safe limit. Health risk index (HRI) have revealed the possible potential risk of heavy metal contaminated plant species in the order of spinach (6.4) > wheat (6.4) > brinjal (5.9) > tomato (4.7) > red corn (4.5) > apple gourd (4.3) > white corn (3.8) > cabbage (3.1) > luffa (2.9). Likewise, HRI of different metals was calculated as Cu (19.6) > Zn (17.9) > Cr (2.95) > Ni (0.85) > Mn (0.48) > Fe (0.15) > Cd (0.11) > Pb (0.05) > As (0.00001). The level of HRI through the use of dietary plants revealed an elevated risk level than the acceptable limit (HRI > 1) for Cu > Zn > Cr in adults. Our findings suggest that there would be a serious health risk to the consumers due to the consumption of these plant species being irrigated with the wastewater. Therefore, a strict regulatory mechanism is proposed for the safety of food plants in the study area including monitoring and recycling of crop plants, and building water treatment plants to remove pollutants and clean wastewater.

“…Ozone gas (O 3 ) was used to remove leftover deltamethrin, which was utilized as an insecticide in the treatment of wheat crops ( Triticumaestivum L.) [ 8 ]. Additionally, soil is a very effective degrading agent for deltamethrin elimination (95 percent in 54 min at pH 10) in cotton field water [ 9 ]. Deltamethrin was removed (88.3 and 82.8 percent, respectively) by degrading its residuals using two Serratiamarcescens (DeI-1 and DeI-2, respectively) bacterial strains [ 10 ].…”

New insight on some selected nanoparticles as an effective adsorbent toward diminishing the health risk of deltamethrin contaminated water

Deltamethrin is a widely used insecticide that kills a wide variety of insects and ticks. Deltamethrin resistance develops as a result of intensive, repeated use, as well as increased environmental contamination and a negative impact on public health. Its negative impact on aquatic ecology and human health necessitated the development of a new technique for environmental remediation and wastewater treatment, such as the use of nanotechnology. The co-precipitation method was used to create Zn-Fe/LDH, Zn-AL-GA/LDH, and Fe-oxide nanoparticles (NPs), which were then characterized using XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, and HR-TEM. The kinetic study of adsorption test revealed that these NPs were effective at removing deltamethrin from wastewater. The larval packet test, which involved applying freshly adsorbed deltamethrin nanocomposites (48 hours after adsorption), and the comet assay test were used to confirm that deltamethrin had lost its acaricidal efficacy. The kinetics of the deltamethrin adsorption process was investigated using several kinetic models at pH 7, initial concentration of deltamethrin 40 ppm and temperature 25°C. Within the first 60 min, the results indicated efficient adsorption performance in deltamethrin removal, the maximum adsorption capacity was 27.56 mg/L, 17.60 mg/L, and 3.06 mg/L with the Zn-Al LDH/GA, Zn-Fe LDH, and Fe Oxide, respectively. On tick larvae, the results of the freshly adsorbed DNC bioassay revealed larval mortality. This suggests that deltamethrin’s acaricidal activity is still active. However, applying DNCs to tick larvae 48 hours after adsorption had no lethal effect, indicating that deltamethrin had lost its acaricidal activity. The latter result corroborated the results of the adsorption test’s kinetic study. Furthermore, the comet assay revealed that commercial deltamethrin caused 28.51% DNA damage in tick cells, which was significantly higher than any DNC. In conclusion, the NPs used play an important role in deltamethrin decontamination in water, resulting in reduced public health risk. As a result, these NPs could be used as a method of environmental remediation.

The problem of soil and water contamination in many countries has become major issue and thus immediate measures are necessary to avoid further environmental damage. Heavy metals and metalloids, which are toxic and carcinogenic to living organism, mainly enter into the soil and water system due to anthropogenic activities which includes metal processing, mining operations, refinery industries, tannery industries, army activities and landfills 1,2 .Leather industries in Pakistan produce all type of waste that is wastewater, solid waste and air emission. The discharge of untreated wastewater produces number of problems to local community, spoil the civic beauty of area and pollute water sources. The levels of chromium in soil near tannery areas were found beyond the safe limits 3 . Long term wastewater irrigation can cause accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soil and plants. Heavy metals like zinc, manganese, nickel and copper act as micronutrients at lower concentrations however they become toxic at higher concentrations. Health risk due to heavy metal contamination of soil has been widely reported [4][5][6] .Heavy metals like chromium and lead may be tolerated in lower concentration but are harmful in higher concentration 7 . Plants are non-specific while taking-up metals from soil. Nonessential heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury and lead present in soil would also be accumulated
