Toxic heavy metals like Co, Cu, and Cr have the highest potential to transfer from soil to plants and bioaccumulates. Risk indexes such as HRI and THQ was also calculated and it was seen that Cu, Co, Ni, Cd, and Cr pose serious health hazards. Conflicts of Interest. The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
This chapter highlights the importance of identifying health risk factors and their parameters for healthier built environments. In Sect. 3.1, epidemiological terms such as "determinants of health", "health risk" and "health hazards", are introduced. In Sect. 3.2, health risk factors and their main parameters in built environments are further …
Arsenic. Arsenic is one of the most important heavy metals causing disquiet from both ecological and individual health standpoints (Hughes et al., 1988).It has a semimetallic property, is prominently toxic and carcinogenic, and is extensively available in the form of oxides or sulfides or as a salt of iron, sodium, calcium, copper, etc. (Singh et …

Stainless steels are widely used iron-based alloys that contain chromium and, typically, other alloying elements. The chromium(III)-rich surface oxide of stainless steels efficiently limits the release (bioaccessibility) of their metal constituents in most physiological environments, influencing the …
Depending on their particle size and concentration, heavy metals in urban dust pose a health hazard to humans. This study investigated the total concentration, health risk, integrated pollution …
The purpose of this study was to assess the environmental radiological hazards associated with elevated levels of radon gas in drinking water. Using passive (CR-39 plastic detector) and active (RAD 7) detectors, the radon levels in the air and drinking water (tap water) of 124 homes in 31 distinct locations in Iraqi Kurdistan were determined.

The health risk assessment of each contaminant is normally based on the estimation of the risk level and is classified as carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic health hazards . To estimate the heavy metal contamination and potential carcinogenic and non-cancer health risk caused via ingestion and dermal absorption of heavy metals in the …
Introduction. Vegetables and fruits are the major components of the human diet, as it is the source of essential micronutrients like copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), iodine (I), sodium (Na), potassium (K), antioxidants, vitamins, and various metabolites. 1,2 They are consumed in both cooked and raw forms, thus …
Abstract: The mining and stone crushing activities have considerable effects on the environment quality and human health. The dust emissions contaminate the air and water.
