“…This is because heavy metals pose threats to public water supplies (Terra, 2007) and can also cause health hazards to human consumption of fish and water resources (Akoto, 2014). Today, water pollution is one of the environmental and health issues, especially in areas around rivers (Musfirah & Rangkuti, 2019)hospitals, domestic, and agriculture. The contamination status on the Code River according to BLH Yogyakarta reported in 2014 was heavily polluted based on STORET (≤-31…”

Kendari Bay is currently experiencing considerable physical pressure and pollution due to heavy metals. This study aims to determine the content of heavy metals mercury and chromium in sediment and seawater in Kendari Bay. This study uses an observational design with a descriptive approach. The study was conducted in April 2019 in five Port areas with three sampling points in each region. Samples taken are sediment and seawater. Samples taken were analyzed by the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method. The results show that all sampling points at five Ports have been contaminated with mercury and chromium in sediment and seawater. The levels of mercury and chromium have exceeded the quality standards stipulated by Minister of Environment Decree No. 51 of 2004. The highest levels of mercury and chromium in seawater and sediment are highest in the Dermaga Tempat Pendaratan Ikan (TPI). This is due to the dense traffic activity of fishing vessels, residential waste, Hospital waste, hospitality waste, tourist waste, paints on ships, oil spills, rust from shipwrecks, and heavy equipment activities from the construction of the Bahteramas Bridge or the Kendari Bay Bridge. Technology needs to control heavy metal contamination as well as policies and law enforcement regarding activities at sea that have the potential to pollute waters.

“…The presence of heavy metals in wastewater is very dangerous for the environment, humans, and other living creatures. Heavy metals cannot undergo bio-degradation in the environment [12], [13], so appropriate treatment strategies need to be implemented [14], [15]. Compared to chemical processes, physical treatment is much easier, cheaper, and safer to apply in handling wastewater.…”

Silver crafts wastewater (SCW) typically contains environmentally harmful heavy metals, including Ag, Cu, Mn, and Cr, necessitating treatment before disposal. This study explores a promising solution using silica (SiO2) adsorbents derived from snake fruit peel through acidic activation with HCl concentrations of 2, 4, and 6 M. Qualitative analysis of the adsorbent involved Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques. XRF analysis revealed major compositions of Si (26%) and Cl (71.46%), with minor elements such as Ca (0.91%), P (0.42%), K (0.37%), Fe (0.12%), and others. FTIR analysis indicated the presence of siloxane (Si-O-Si) and silanol (Si-OH) on the adsorbent. The SiO2 adsorbent demonstrated effectiveness in removing heavy metals (Ag, Cu, Mn, and Cr) from SCW, achieving removal percentages of approximately 16.96%, 24.38%, 19.34%, and 9.82%, respectively. This research contributes to the development of an environmentally friendly approach for SCW treatment using silica adsorbents derived from agricultural waste.

“…Data exist to tie water lead levels to BLLs during the Washington, DC, and Flint water crises, ,, to lead plumbing systems, and to lead contaminated wells in some developing countries . Studies have also assessed the health risk of lead exposure, such as the chronic daily intake. − However, there is little data estimating the magnitude of consumers at risk from drinking elevated lead levels in the absence of events or conditions that release high lead concentrations into the water . Estimating populations at risk from water lead is necessary as more communities learn of elevated lead in their homes’ , and schools’ , drinking water, raising questions about the severity of baseline lead concentrations nationwide…”

The Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) addresses lead in drinking water through utility-centric monitoring in high risk homes, corrosion control, and public education. These utility-centric activities, however, do not provide adequate information on lead concentrations in individual homes and leave an unknown number of consumers at risk from drinking water lead. To assess the number of consumers at risk from drinking elevated lead concentrations, we mined 166,554 lead samples taken for LCR compliance in Iowa and developed a new approach for estimating the number of consumers at risk. We estimate that 65,000 ± 14,000 people in Iowa are at risk from drinking water lead above the U.S. EPA action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb) each year. We further explored the average household sampling rates of community water systems (CWSs) of different population sizes, where, overall, 8.6% of homes in an Iowa CWS are sampled. Our estimates indicate that, even in the absence of a lead-in-water crisis, a significant number of people are at risk from lead concentrations exceeding available guidelines, raising concerns about the severity of baseline lead concentrations in drinking water nationwide. Our analysis highlights that consumer-centric lead in drinking water policies and avoidance strategies are needed to ensure public protection.
