“…It has been documented in the literature that pH and CO 2 have similar positive correlations with HCO 3and F - (Singaraja et al 2018). The groundwater Fenrichment is caused by geogenic causes rather than anthropogenic, as indicated by the negative correlation between NO 3and F -(r = -0.061) which is well supported by report in literature (Nawale et al 2021).…”

There are several water quality issues with groundwater in India, including fluoride and nitrate, which are all harmful to human health. In the current study, 14 distinct hydrochemical parameters were examined in a total of 76 groundwater samples collected from the Jajpur district of Odisha India. Nearly 36.8% and 11.84% of the samples had F- and NO3- values over the WHO permissible limit. The entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI), the fixed-weight groundwater quality index (GWQI), principal component analysis (PCA) factor (or rotational factor) loading based water quality index (PCWQI) were employed. The four different water quality indices rated about 65.79± 4.68%, 33.55± 3.95%, and 0.66 ±0.76% of the samples as "Excellent," "Good," or "Medium" quality, with a nominal rating discrepancy of 13.15%. Across the WQI ranking, more than 86% of samples were consistently rated as excellent or good. About 38.15% samples surpassed the allowed limit for F- (hazard quotient HQ>1), posing non-carcinogenic health risks for children. Contrarily, 55.26% and 11.84% of NO3-samples, exceeding the permissible limit, and showed non-carcinogenic health risks for both children and adults. Groundwater pollution may increase as a result of some samples having substantial concentrations of NO3- and notably HCO3- ions as well as their positive interdependence. The moderate correlation between Ca2+ and HCO3- (r = 0.410) and the insignificance correlation between Mg2+ and HCO3- (r = 0.234) show that calcite dissolution is far more common than dolomite.

The present research deals with the quantification of health hazard in a fluorosis prone area from east‐coast of India. The average health hazard quotients are 2.09, 2.42, 1.79, and 1.69 for infants, children, male, and female adults, respectively. These values are more than the tolerance limit (1) in 92% groundwater samples and 96% of the study area. The children are more vulnerable to fluorosis than infants and adults. Ca2+/ Na+ versus HCO3−/Na+ and Ca2+/Na+ versus Mg2+/Na+ plots suggest silicate weathering as the prime factor while linear relationship of TDS versus NO3− + (Cl−/HCO3−) supports the anthropogenic input of F− to the aquifer system. The study suggests that the F− ions are chiefly derived from fluorite, apatite, biotite, and hornblende present in the granitic basement under alkaline environment. The secondary sources are domestic and industrial sewage as well as return flow from irrigation with ingredients of phosphate fertilizers. The adverse effects of fluorosis can be minimized by mass awareness programmes, alternative source of potable drinking water, defluoridation techniques, dilution of high F− concentration in groundwater, and minimizing the use of phosphate fertilizers.

“…In cultivated soils, elevated nitrate contents are commonly detected, ranging from 30 to more than 200 mg/kg . Groundwater is also commonly contaminated by nitrate. , Moreover, nitrate has great potentials to be used as an electron acceptor in the microbial treatment of contaminants in soils and sediments, such as As(III), S 2– , and some organic compounds. – In the recent decade, nitrate contamination is becoming increasingly worse. , These facts suggest that nitrate prevalently coexists with DARPs in diverse environmental niches. Therefore, it is interesting to explore the influences of nitrate on DARPs-mediated reductive mobilization of arsenic as well as the mechanism of action of nitrate.…”
