The results revealed that every vegetable contained the highest concentration of Zn range from 15 ± 1.4 to 50 ± 4.0 mg/kg fresh weight. Trace metals in vegetables exceeded the permissible level of FAO and WHO standard. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were estimated on the basis of estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), hazard index (HI) and target carcinogenic risks (TRs). The EDI values of all trace metals were below the maximum tolerable daily intake (MTDI). Total target hazard quotient (TTHQ) were greater than 1, indicated that if people consume these types of vegetables in their diet, they might pose risk to these metals. Finally, the total cancer risks (TRs) values were 6.4 × 10−3 for As and 8.7 × 10−5 for Pb which were greater than threshold value of USEPA (10−6), indicating that the consuming inhabitants of these vegetables are exposed to As and Pb with a lifetime cancer risk.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:20:23 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47139 Wed 14 Dec 2022 15:20:30 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40272 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:12:21 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50102  1); however, fruits and pulses do not pose any non-cancer health risks to Bangladeshi residents. Most of the cereals and vegetables showed a higher value than 10−6, indicating a potential cancer risk; however, fruits and pulses showed lower risk only marginally exceeding the lower allowable limit (i.e., 10−6).]]> Wed 12 Jul 2023 14:04:45 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50263 Wed 12 Jul 2023 11:44:07 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37215 Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:04:38 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47041 Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:34:42 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55017 Wed 03 Apr 2024 13:28:34 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46340 −1 (Bangladesh drinking water standard) during pre-monsoon, while 11 samples out of 20 were unable to remove As below the WHO provisional guideline value of 10 µg L⁻¹. During post-monsoon, none of the samples exceeded 50 µg L−1, but eight of them exceeded 10 µg L⁻¹. The Fe removal efficiencies of AIRPs were evident in more than 80% samples. Although As removal efficiency was found to be substantial, a cancer risk assessment indicates that hazard quotient (HQ) and carcinogenic risk (CR) of As in treated water for adults and children are above the threshold limits. Thus, additional reductions of As concentrations in treated water are needed to further reduce the excess cancer risk due to As in drinking water. Since 55% and 40% of the AIRPs were unable to remove As < 10 µg L⁻¹ during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon, further improvement including changes in AIRP design, regular cleaning of sludge, and periodic monitoring of water quality are suggested. Future research is needed to determine whether these modifications improve the performance of AIRPs.]]> Tue 15 Nov 2022 15:04:48 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52366 1). Total HI values for children in both residential and recreational water were higher than those for adults (1.04 × 101 and 1.73 x 100 for surface and deep water, respectively), indicating that children are more sensitive to elemental contamination. Total carcinogenic risks of Cr and As due to exposure to water were higher than the standard limit (>1.0 x 10−4), which indicated possible cancer risks to the inhabitants around the river. Therefore, regular monitoring of river water quality and sustainable management could be implemented to recover the polluted river water and keep it pollution-free in the future.]]> Tue 10 Oct 2023 14:32:42 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50558 Tue 01 Aug 2023 10:33:02 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39730 Mon 13 May 2024 13:29:27 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55075 Mon 08 Apr 2024 14:11:13 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52656 Fri 20 Oct 2023 09:02:09 AEDT ]]>
