“…Field studies report widely distributed travertine rocks in the North of the Sarcheshmeh copper mine and indicated that highly concentrated range of arsenic exists in the travertine rocks (36). This arsenic could move into the water system and contaminate the drinking water in nearby urban and rural communities (36,37). In these areas, the arsenic concentration is higher than the World Health Organisation (WHO) drinking water recommended values (36,38,39).…”

“…We found high-risk areas of breast and prostate cancer in the Northwest of the province during 2014-2017. Kerman is located in the Southeast of the Iranian volcano-plutonic copper belt (35) and arsenic contamination is one of the most signi cant environmental concerns in the Northwest of this province (36). The Sarcheshmeh copper industrial plant, the biggest copper mine of Iran, is located in the Kerman's Northwest and this area could be contaminated by heavy metals such as arsenic.…”

Abstract Background: Breast and prostate cancers are the most common gender-specific malignancies. In developing countries, screening of all population at risk of cancers is impractical because of the healthcare resource limitations. Thus, determining the high-risk areas of Cancers might be an important step to conduct a screening program at high-risk areas. This study explores potential high-risk clusters in the incidence pattern of breast and prostate cancers in southern Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the province of Kerman, South Iran. Patient data were aggregated at the county and district levels and the incidence rate per 100,000 people for both breast and prostate cancer were calculated. We used the natural break classification with five classes to produce descriptive maps. A spatial clustering analysis ( Anselin Local Moran’s I ) was used to identify potential clusters and outliers in the pattern of these cancers from 2014 to 2017. Results: The Age-Standardised Incidence Rate of breast cancer showed an increase from 29.93 to 32.27 cases per 100,000 people and prostate cancer from 13.93 to 15.47 cases per 100,000 during 2014–2017. Cluster analysis at the county level identified high-high clusters of breast cancer in the North-West of the province for all years, but the analysis at the district level showed high-high clusters for only two of the years. Furthermore, cluster analysis at the county and district levels of prostate cancer also identified high-high clusters in the North-West of the province for two years. Conclusions: North-West Kerman had a significantly higher incidence rate of both breast and prostate cancer. These findings may help to design tailored screening and surveillance systems. Furthermore, this study generates new hypotheses to test potential relationships between environmental risk factors and incidence of cancers in areas with higher cancer risk.

“…The latter is quite typical of hydrogeochemical provinces and it is quite often a very complicated task to supply qualitative and safe drinking water to people who live there. For example, experts detected natural arsenous anomalies in such countries as Argentina, Nepal, Cambodia, Ghana, China, Bangladesh, and Iran; these anomalies exerted substantial impacts on quality of natural and drinking water [4,5]. One-shot examinations allowed to obtain data on As concentrations in water reaching 2,500 mg/l and it means such water was unsafe for people's health [6].…”

Health Risk Analysis

Our research goal was to assess health risks for population who consumed drinking water with specific chemical structure systematically and for a long time. Drinking water quality is determined by conditions existing in hydrogeochemical provinces where rocks and soils contain increased concentrations of such hazardous metals as chromium, nickel, lead, manganese, and iron. We showed that low frequency or even absence of nonconformity to hygienic standards for admixtures in drinking water doesn't fully guarantee its safety in complicated hydrogeochemical conditions. When certain carcinogenic admixtures (cadmium, chromium, nickel, arsenic, and lead) occur together in drinking water even in low concentrations, it can cause unacceptable population health risks. Drinking water taken in examined geochemical provinces in Perm region causes individual lifelong carcinogenic risk which is (under the worst exposure scenarios) equal to 4 • 10-3. It can be ranked as De manifestis Risk and requires immediate measures to be taken by those responsible to reduce it. Unacceptable non-carcinogenic risks are caused by joint concentrations of arsenic, strontium, and some other compounds in drinking water. The highest risks existing on the examined territories were detected in relation to gastrointestinal tract diseases (HI up to 10.9, basic risk factor is chromium and its compounds), musculoskeletal system diseases (HI up to 11.8, strontium as a basic factor), and central nervous system diseases (HI up to 11.8, basic factors are arsenic, manganese, and lead). Contributions made by various elements into overall risks were different in different provinces. In some cases, when a certain element occurs in the crust in hazardous concentrations, its contents in drinking water are not observed. We recommend organizations that deal with water supply and sanitary surveillance bodies to take into account peculiarities of a geochemical province and to include admixtures that are contained in the environment in high quantities into monitoring programs and laboratory research.
