“…Recently, the increase in nutrient pollution around the world, which is caused by the excess of nitrate and phosphate ions in the air and water, is one of the most widespread, costly, and challenging environmental problems . Nitrate is a common nitrogenous compound usually generated by natural processes of the nitrogen cycle from the anthropogenic sources, including septic tanks storage, nitrogen‐rich fertilizers, turf grass, and agricultural fertilizer . Therefore, increasing of nitrate in environmental water poses a threat to human health .…”

Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticle decorated graphene oxide (GO) was modified with strontium nanoparticles (MGO‐Sr) and applied for enhanced removal of phosphate and nitrate ions from river and sewage water samples. The nanocomposite's features were investigated using Fourier transform‐infrared spectrometry, field emission‐scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. The effective parameters, adsorption efficiency, regeneration, and field application of MGO‐Sr were also studied. Adsorption isotherm and kinetic models were applied for evaluation of experimental adsorption process. The data was in well comply with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo‐second‐order comparing with other models. Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity was obtained equal to 238.09 mg/g for phosphate and 357.14 mg/g for nitrate. Van't Hoff thermodynamic predicted an exothermic nature for adsorption process followed by a physisorption mechanism. The prepared nanocomposite provided a high‐removal efficiency toward phosphate and nitrate ions in river and sewage water. Hence, it is applicable in water remediation process.

“…Aluminum is not a heavy metal, it is an element naturally found in the earth's crust in a proportion of 8% and is thus difficult to avoid. The presence of aluminum in natural or anthropogenic water is due to melting and metal foundries, bitumen sand exploits, oil refining, coal extraction and use or construction [10,11]. In regards to its speciation in potable water, literature reports that the total aluminum concentration is the sum of all colloidal, suspended and monomeric forms [12].…”

The paper presents the level and spatial distribution of total chloride, arsenic and aluminum contents, and that of microbiological parameters (coliform bacteria, E. coli bacteria, intestinal enterococci) from water wells situated in the Seini area, both on the surface and in depth, using the geostatistical module of ArcGIS. The relations between the levels of microorganisms and the concentrations of chemical parameters (total chlorides, As and Al) were established using Table Curve program for generating 3D mathematical models.

“…Increased fertilizer application can lead to another set of health risks, although their severity likely depends on local soil conditions and nutrient retention (Neill et al, 2017;Palm et al, 2017). Along with increased eutrophication potential (Smith, Tilman, & Nekola, 1999), surface water or groundwater sources contaminated with agricultural runoff or leachate can exhibit elevated nitrate and nitrite concentrations (Matson et al, 1997;Tilman, 1999), which are connected with methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome; Fewtrell, 2004;Sadler et al, 2016). Possible connections with birth defects and various cancers have also been reported (Brender et al, 2013;Sadler et al, 2016;Ward et al, 2005), although these links remain uncertain and have not been incorporated into international drinking water guidelines (World Health Organization, 2011).…”

Increased agricultural production will be necessary to feed rapidly growing populations in sub-Saharan Africa, where many households currently practice low-input, subsistence farming. Efforts to expand food production will likely include agricultural intensification to enhance productivity of existing cropland, and holistic frameworks are needed to quantitatively evaluate trade-offs and synergies between intensification and other dimensions of development. Beyond well-documented interactions with environmental and economic issues, intensification's complex relationship with human health should take a position of primary importance in any framework designed to advance food security. While intensification can lead to improvements in nutritional status, neglecting sources of potential adverse health impacts, including water source contamination and direct contact with agricultural inputs or environmental pathogens, may undermine prospective gains. Harmonizing goals will require interdisciplinary teams applying frameworks that integrate tools such as quantitative risk assessment, environmental life cycle assessment, and economic models to comprehensively evaluate potentially dissimilar strategies across common metrics while accounting for interdependencies and uncertainties. With local implementation partners, these teams will be well-equipped to develop holistic interventions that effectively promote food security and protect human health while considering local constraints and opportunities across multiple dimensions of development.
