“…This research could provide significant guidance for further groundwater quality protection and management in overexploited groundwater regions. Worldwide, nitrate is very commonly found in groundwater, especially in agricultural regions [50][51][52][53]. The two articles in the second topical cluster reported on research concerning the identification of sources of nitrate and its removal.…”

In many regions of the world, groundwater is the main water source for multiple uses, including for drinking, irrigation, and industry. Groundwater quality, therefore, is closely related to human health, and the consumption of contaminated groundwater can induce various waterborne diseases. In the last ten years, the world has witnessed a rapid development in groundwater quality research and the assessment of associated health risks. This editorial introduced the foundation of the current Special Issue, Groundwater Quality and Public Health, briefly reviewed recent research advances in groundwater quality and public health research, summarized the main contribution of each published paper, and proposed future research directions that researchers should take into account to achieve the one health goal. It is suggested that groundwater quality protection should be further emphasized to achieve the one health goal and the UN’s SDGs. Modern technologies should be continuously developed to remediate and control groundwater pollution, which is a major constrain in the development of a sustainable society.

“…Since one cigarette contains about 1 µg of Cd, the consumption of one pack of cigarettes per day corresponds to the acceptable daily intake (about 20 µg/day) (Forte et al 2011). Therefore, cigarette consumers have 2-3 times higher concentrations of Cd in their blood than non-smokers (Baeyens et al 2014;Gil et al 2011;Nisse et al 2017;Ceballos et al 2021). In nonsmokers and the professionally non-exposed population, Cd is primarily ingested through food.…”

Most investigations conducted in the last four decades have shown a rising incidence of thyroid diseases worldwide. Although our knowledge of the molecular pathways of thyroid disease has advanced, the initial steps in thyroid cancerogenesis have not yet been sufficiently elucidated. However, recent human biomonitoring studies have shown that specific trace metals, as major endocrine disrupters, could be considered as risk factors for impaired thyroid health and the evolution of thyroid cancer (TC). In this review, the impact of essential and toxic trace metals from the environment on thyroid health and TC was evaluated. Furthermore, this review clarifies which trace metals most likely contribute to the etiology of TC. Biomarkers based on trace metal ratios are proposed. Overall, the information described in this review is expected to be useful in planning future fundamental and applied studies on the endocrine toxicity of essential and toxic trace metals.

“…Cr(VI) not only forms highly toxic compounds, such as HCrO 4 − , CrO 4 2− and Cr 2 O 7 2− , which has a long life-span in the environment, it is also a suspected carcinogen. Cr(VI) can be easily absorbed by the human body through the respiratory tract, skin and mucous membrane, posing a significant hazard to human health ( (Duan et al 2017;Zhao et al 2019;Ceballos et al 2021). Compared with Cr(VI), which is easy to migrate with water flow, Cr(III) is readily hydrolyzed into Cr(OH) 3 and separated from water ( (Kim and Choi, 2011).…”

Nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (NZVI) produced by using green tea (GT) extract as a reductant can remove Cr(VI) from water effectively, which can be utilized in groundwater remediation. In order to define the reaction mechanism and removal effect in the aquifer, in this study, GT-NZVI particles were prepared and measured by some characterization methods to define their surface performance, and then batch and one-dimensional experiments were carried out to reveal the reaction properties of GT-NZVI and Cr(VI) in groundwater. The results showed that the prepared GT-NZVI particles were regular spherical with a diameter of 10-20 nm, which could disperse in water stably. The main component of GT-NZVI was α-Fe with superficial polyphenols as a stabilizer. GT-NZVI suspension had good ability to reduce the Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in water. When the concentration of GT-NZVI was 1 g/L, the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) with an initial concentration of 100 mg/L reached 92.8% in 1 h reaction. In column tests, GT-NZVI passed through the natural sand column successfully with an average outflow percentage of 71.2%. The simulated in-situ reaction zone (IRZ) with GT-NZVI was used to remediate Cr(VI) contaminated groundwater. The outflow concentration of Cr(VI) kept in 0.14-0.32 mg/L corresponding to the outflow rate below 0.32% within 15 days, and the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by IRZ with GT-NZVI decreased with the increase of aquifer medium particle size, groundwater flow rate and ionic strength. Most of Cr(III) as reduzate was adsorbed or immobilized on the surface or in the lattice of GT-NZVI, which indicated effective immobilization for chromium.
