Ores composed of various minerals vary according to the geological evolution. These are raw materials for the conventional industries or fossil fuels for power generation. They can also be used in new technologies. The mining industry triggers intense environmental impacts. Human exposure to multiple ...
Estimated water pollution indices and non-carcinogenic risk indicated that the investigated groundwater is safe for drinking purpose, as the hazard index was < 1 for all the water samples. Assessment of the cancer risk of Cr, As, Cd, and Pb also indicated low health risks associated with...

As the background temperatures and O2levels change, O2-dependent biological processes become extremely susceptible to short-term MHW-LOX compound extremes (Köhn et al.2022), and may lead to ecosystem tipping when the exposure to extreme conditions go beyond the realized niche limits (Trisos et...
to appraise non-carcinogenic (N-CR) and carcinogenic health hazards of HMs in groundwater linked with oral and dermal exposure pathways using human health risk assessment (HHRA) model of the USEPA for both adults and children; (iv) to predict the HPI, m-HPI, HEI, CI, hazard index (HI...
of time, so elements found within locus ceruleus neurons can be used as a guide to past toxicant exposure58. Second, noradrenaline from the locus ceruleus is required to preserve the integrity of the blood–brain barrier59. The blood–brain barrier is focally disrupted early in MS60, and ...
This study investigated the concentrations, seasonal variations, sources, and human health risks associated with exposure to heavy elements (As, Al, Pb, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Ni) of PM2.5 at an urban location of Delhi (28° 38′ N, 77° 10′ E; 218 m amsl), India, from January 20...

The observed biotransference was higher than in other parts of Mexico, and the calculated DI and hazard quotients indicate no adverse health effects for children. However, the hazard Index values indicate that exposure to multiple PTE represents a risk for children. Management measures should be ...
