“…To improve the validation study, an inhouse secondary reference standard solution at the concentration of 100 μg/L was produced by diluting the multi-element calibration mother solution with an appropriate amount of 4% (v:v) nitric acid. As described in previous papers, precision was calculated in terms of the coefficient of variation, while accuracy was expressed by relative error (Yüksel et al 2020;Arica et al 2018;Horwitz, 1982).…”

Environmental concerns have been raised because of a garbage disposal facility (GDF) constructed near Çavuşlu Stream in Giresun, Turkey. This article proposes a fully validated ICP-MS technique to investigate the impacts of the GDF on the water quality of the stream and provide a human health risk estimation. Water sampling was carried out at four different stations and in tap water since the stream is the primary source of drinking water for the inhabitants of the town. Quantification of selected toxic metals (As, Pb, Cd, Hg, Sb, Al, and Ni) in conjunction with the essential and other elements (Se, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn, and Co) was performed by the use of the previously validated ICP-MS method. Once water quality index (WQI), heavy metal pollution index (HPI), and heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) were computed, the health risk assessment was studied according to the US EPA's method. Although the stations (2, 3, 4, and tap water) showed excellent water quality, station-1, which is the closest one to the facility, was classified as poor water quality. Lifetime cancer risk (LCR) was only significant both for adults and children in station-1. In addition, low risk regarding non-carcinogenic health hazards was found for children. The results indicate that the facility decreases the water quality of this stream and is possibly responsible for LCR. In conclusion, the ecological environment and human health should be protected by further monitoring the effect of the GDF on the ecological system.

“…Contrary to this, toxic metals such as antimony, mercury, cadmium, and lead are widely used in industry and are major environmental contaminants (Tekin-Özan et al, 2024 ; Topaldemir et al, 2023 ), which can be toxic even at very low levels. Their risks, however, are well established; for instance, lead poisoning causes intellectual impairments in infants (Arica et al, 2018 ; Bozalan et al, 2019 ), and excessive exposure to chromium and antimony increases carcinogenicity (Saerens et al, 2019 ). In other words, toxic metals (As, Ni, Hg, Cr, Cd, and Pb) can induce organ damage when they reach unsafe concentrations; this includes nephrotoxicity, skin toxicity, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity ( 2021a ; Islam et al, 2022 ; Mitra et al, 2022 ; Yüksel et al, 2017a , 2017b ).…”

Water scarcity is a growing concern due to rapid urbanization and population growth. This study assesses spring water quality at 20 stations in Giresun province, Türkiye, focusing on potentially toxic elements and physicochemical parameters. The Water Quality Index rated most samples as "excellent" during the rainy season and "good" during the dry season, except at stations 4 (40° 35′ 12″ North/38° 26′ 34″ East) and 19 (40° 44′ 28″ North/38° 06′ 53″ West), indicating "poor" quality. Mean macro-element concentrations (mg/L) were: Ca (34.27), Na (10.36), Mg (8.26), and K (1.48). Mean trace element values (μg/L) were: Al (1093), Zn (110.54), Fe (67.45), Mn (23.03), Cu (9.79), As (3.75), Ni (3.00), Cr (2.84), Pb (2.70), Co (1.93), and Cd (0.76). Health risk assessments showed minimal non-carcinogenic risks, while carcinogenic risk from arsenic slightly exceeded safe limits (CR = 1.75E−04). Higher arsenic concentrations during the rainy season were due to increased recharge, arsenic-laden surface runoff, and human activities. Statistical analyses (PCA, PCC, HCA) suggested that metals and physico-chemical parameters originated from lithogenic, anthropogenic, or mixed sources. Regular monitoring of spring water is recommended to mitigate potential public health risks from waterborne contaminants.

“…1 A highly sensitive and multi-element simultaneous analytical method based on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been developed to measure the contents of HFSEs and other trace elements over the past three decades. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] The dissolution of solid samples (by acid digestion or alkaline fusion) is required before materials are introduced into the ICP-MS instrument as aerosols of aqueous solutions. There are presently two difficulties encountered when using silicate digestion procedures for HFSEs measurements.…”
