Pathways of heavy metals contamination and associated human health risk in Ajay River basin, India.
Umesh Singh,Balwant Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: Assessment of human risk revealed that the high load of Cd, Pb and Fe in water body could harm the population and suggest that the water is highly contaminated through numerous geogenic and anthropogenic sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of geochemical data of Yamuna River using WQI and multivariate statistical analyses: a case study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the character and classification of Yamuna River water quality using secondary data and applied water quality index (WQI), cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), multiple regression analysis (MRA) and discriminant analysis (DA) to assess the water quality status and evaluate the critical parameters with identification of most prominent polluted sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source apportionment of heavy metals and their ecological risk in a tropical river basin system
Balwant Kumar,Umesh Singh +1 more
TL;DR: Pollution indices revealed that river basin is moderately to highly contaminated by Cu, Cd, and Ni and Ajay River basin is under strong potential ecological risk based on the obtained value of risk index and probable effect level/effect range median quotient index.
