“…This is similar to the finding by EFSA [25][26][27]. If mercury values were < 1 for all species analyzed (fish: 0.04-0.80; cephalopods: 0.03-0.09; crustaceans: 0.02-0.05), even results close to 1 that were correlated to the consumption of swordfish (0.80), Atlantic bluefin tuna (0.74), European conger eel (0.70) and black belly rosefish (0.68), those various subjects and media indicated that when the magnitude of pollutant in water high, then it tends to increase also in the aquatic biota, vise versa [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…Geogenic As pollution of groundwater is more widespread in alluvial aquifers. Gravel, sandstone, silt, and sand that have been in a river canal or flood plain for a long time make up these aquifers (Mallongi et al, 2022). In comparison to other areas of Punjab, Pakistan, the study area has a high concentration of arsenic, which could have negative health consequences for its residents.…”

“…Lead (Pb) can be found at varying degrees of solubility in rocks and mineral deposits. The elevated (Pb) concentrations in groundwater can result from the leaching of such rocks and minerals (Mallongi et al, 2022). The concentration of Zn in groundwater samples ranges from 0.01-4 mg/L having a mean value of 1.07 mg/L; 15% of samples were beyond the recommended value of WHO.…”

Groundwater contamination through potentially harmful metals (PHMs) is an environmental hazard in Pakistan with significant human health risk reports. The current research was conducted in Sheikhupura District, which is a major industrial site in Punjab, Pakistan. According to the Punjab Directorate of Industries in Pakistan, there are a total of 748 industries in this area. These industries produce a lot of waste and effluent, which contaminate the environment with harmful and toxic materials. Continuous irrigation with industrial effluent and sewage sludge may make groundwater sources vulnerable. Therefore, we collected 243 groundwater samples from community tube wells to investigate the groundwater quality cconcerning PHM contaminations in the study area. This research presents the values of pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), and potentially harmful metals (PHMs) like arsenic (As), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe). PHMs such as As (91%), Mn (14%), Pb (97%), Fe (45%), Zn (15%), in these samples were beyond the permitted limit recommended by the world health organization (WHO). Principal component analysis (PCA) results with total variability of (60%) reveal that the groundwater sources of the study area are contaminated about 30.9, 31.3, and 37.6% of contaminations of groundwater sources of this study are resulted from geogenic sources, anthropogenic sources, or both geogenic and anthropogenic sources, respectively. Such sources may include rock-water interaction, mining actions, agricultural practices, domestic sewage, and industrial effluent in the study area. Saturation indices show that the aquifers of the study area are saturated with lead hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, and goethite minerals, indicating that these minerals have a vital role in the contamination of groundwater. Health risk assessment results predicted that the non-carcinogenic risk (HQ) values of PHMs were found within the permissible limit (<1), except As (1.58E+00) for children, while carcinogenic risk (CR) values of all selected PHMs were lower than the maximum threshold CR value (1 × 10−4).

“…Groundwater is the major source of freshwater, which fulfils the domestic as well as industrial and irrigation requirements of water in many parts of the world. 1,2,3,4 Alluvial aquifers are one of the most important sources of groundwater worldwide. The Indo-Gangetic basin (alluvial aquifer system) is considered to be one of the world's most valuable water resources, yet it is also the most heavily exploited.…”

The present study has analysed the Spatial-temporal distribution of groundwater level (GWL) in the Ghazipur district has been calculated using statistical and graphical methods for the period 1998, 2008 and 2018. In the present study, the GWL trend was analysed using the non-parametric Modified Mann-Kendall (MMK) test for the 39 locations of the Ghazipur district of UP, India. The trend analysis has been tested at a 5 % significance level. The mean, minimum and maximum GWL during the pre-monsoon season(PRM) ranged from 3.16 m to 12.71 m. However, in the post-monsoon (PTM) season, it ranges from 1.76 m to 9.09 m. The GWL trends have been estimated using the non-parametric tests, MMK during the period 1998 to 2018 at 39 locations in the Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh, India. From the analysis, The GWL trend analysis has revealed negative magnitudes for 8 locations that covered 20 % portion of total area and positive magnitudes for 31 locations spread in 80 % area in the PRM season. However, in the PTM season, 9 locations spread in 10 % area showed negative trends and 30 locations covering major area which is 90 % of total area showed positive trends. The changes in the GWL trends in two different seasons (PRM and PTM) can be included in the recharge by rainfall in the PTM season. This study reveals the behaviour of GWL over the study area. This study will help in providing valuable information about the long-term behaviour of groundwater levels for ensuring sustainable groundwater management in the Ghazipur district, Uttar Pradesh.
