“…Based on a detailed investigation, a field survey following a Garhwal working plan, the soil sampling was completed in two campaigns (Tehri Garhwal‐1; Urrarkashi‐II Forest Division) in 2014 (Kumar, Jigyasu, et al, 2020). Randomized soil samples were collected ( n = 168) from different altitudinal ranges (850–2500 m) at profile depth of 30 cm (recommended by the Forest Research Institute of India) and are shown in Figure 2.…”

“…Baseline value maps are of particular relevance in the Himalayas, as the limits for intervention in the near‐surface environment are as yet mostly untouched. The introduction of elements into the soil as a result of human activity is undergoing a global increase, which means that uncontaminated samples of soil are increasingly difficult to locate (Gupta, 2020; Gupta & Yadav, 2020; Kumar, Cabral‐Pinto, et al, 2020; Kumar, Jigyasu, et al, 2020). Further, land degradation can be reduced or mitigated on forest land through application of sustainable management practices.…”

“…The adequate protection and restoration of soil ecosystems contaminated by heavy metals require their characterization and remediation (Kumar, Jigyasu, et al, 2020). Contemporary legislation respecting environmental protection and public health, at both national and international levels, are based on data that characterize chemical properties of environmental phenomena, especially those that reside in our food chain (Kumar, Jigyasu, et al, 2020). While soil characterization would provide an insight into heavy metal speciation and bioavailability, attempts at remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils would entail knowledge of the source of contamination, basic chemistry, and environmental and associated health effects (risks) of these heavy metals (Latosi nska et al, 2021).…”

Geochemical mapping is frequently used to identify the regions of the Planet with critical chemical elements and their natural or anthropogenic sources. In order to understand elements' geochemistry and to identify the area's potentially harmful associations, high‐resolution maps of chemical elements, physico‐chemical parameters, a noncarcinogenic hazard index, and a potential ecological risk index were modelled with soil samples collected in the Himalaya region. It is the first environmental and geochemical atlas for this region. It was found that natural processes are determining the distribution of the variable in this area. The granulometric features seem to be strongly influenced by land use, with coarser grain sizes in forest soils, contrasting with the finer grain sizes in agricultural soils. The map distribution of the noncarcinogenic hazard index showed that there is an expected hazard for some variables for both children and adults. Potential ecological risk is revealed to be low to moderate. Remediation of contaminated soils is necessary to reduce the associated risks, make the land resource available for agricultural production, enhance food security, and scale down land tenure problems arising from changes in the land use pattern. This study is subsequent implementation of natural‐based approaches to system stability in largely unspoilt area.

“…In recent decades, the increase in toxic residues in aquatic ecosystems has attracted increasing attention from researchers and politicians [1][2][3][4]. The impacts of these toxic residues on human health [5][6][7][8] and the consequences by the use and reuse of the water [6] are the main reasons for the renewed attention. Contamination of aquatic ecosystems by anthropogenic activities is varied in type and grade of impact [9], and among these activities the petroleum exploitation has shown a particularly serious impact in aquatic ecosystems.…”

Vulnerability of Human Populations to Contamination from Petroleum Exploitation in the Napo River Basin: An Approach for Spatially Explicit Risk Assessment

et al. 2021

Background: contamination of aquatic ecosystems by oil spills associated with petroleum exploitation represents a serious problem of environmental contamination that can affect human health. We developed a spatial model of contamination risk in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and evaluated the model using independent datasets on environmental contamination and clinical indicators of human health risk factors. Methods: the spatial risk of contamination for the Napo River basin was based on the calculation of a friction surface and the accessibility of possible oil contamination. Human health was evaluated using peripheral blood samples from 256 individuals. We used monitoring data on contamination to validate the spatial model of contamination risk and analyzed whether the estimated risk explained the incidence of human health risk factors. Results: our risk model showed a significant association with actual contamination detected in the study area. According to our risk model, around 30% of the territory has some level of contamination. Risk of contamination was associated with an increasing mean incidence in risk factors for human health in resident populations, but elevated contamination risk was not a significant predictor of the incidence of selected health indicators; only the incidence of inflammation was significantly increased. Conclusions: a large proportion of the populations in the Napo River basin has high vulnerability to contamination from petroleum exploitation, and this contamination risk may be traced in some indicators of health risk. Closer examination of health risk factors is warranted, and our spatial model of contamination risk can inform the design and analysis of such studies, as well as risk mitigation and management. Our approach to building the model of contamination risk could be applied in other catchments where petroleum exploitation is contemplated.

Molecular Amplification as an Affordable Strategy for Trace‐Level Detection of Ionic Analytes with Fluorimetric or Colorimetric Readout

Naked‐eye detection of an analyte at an ultralow concentration in a complex mixture is the ultimate goal of an analytical chemist. Over the years, with a wide range of sophisticated analytical techniques based on, for example, various microscopies (TEM, SEM, AFM), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), one can achieve as low as single‐molecule detection. Despite their excellent sensitivities, these methods are often found to be unsuitable for on‐location analysis of real‐life samples due to limitations such as the requirement for advanced instrumental facilities and skilled technicians, high‐cost maintenance, and multi‐step sample preparation procedures. On the other hand, using the concept of molecular amplification a similar level of sensitivity can be achieved with changes in color or fluorescence as the output response. Unlike previous related reviews, in this work we chose not to focus on the different kinds of amplification strategies (target, label, signal, or receptor amplification) nor on the species responsible for generating reporter molecules (catalysts, macromolecules, metal surfaces, and supramolecular aggregates). Instead, herein we have attempted to discuss how the concept of molecular amplification has helped in the trace‐level detection of ionic analytes (for example, anions, heavy metal pollutants and charged biological molecules).
