TLDR
A general 'metal index' for drinking water, which takes into account possible additive effects of N heavy metals on the human health that helps to quickly evaluate the overall quality of drinking waters, is introduced in this paper as MI=?(i=1,N)[C(i)/(MAC)(i)].About:

Heavy metals in drinking water: Occurrences, implications, and future needs in developing countries.
TL;DR: This paper aims to review the state of research on heavy metals in drinking water in developing countries; understand their types and variability, sources, exposure, possible health effects, and removal; and analyze the factors contributing to heavy metalsIn drinking water.

Arsenic contamination of groundwater: A global synopsis with focus on the Indian Peninsula
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the current scenario of arsenic contamination of groundwater in various countries across the globe with an emphasis on the Indian Peninsula is presented and the corrective measures available include removing arsenic from groundwater using filters, exploring deeper or alternative aquifers, treatment of the aquifer itself, dilution method by artificial recharge to groundwater, conjunctive use and installation of nano-filter, among other procedures.

A health risk assessment for exposure to trace metals via drinking water ingestion pathway
TL;DR: A health risk assessment was conducted for exposure to trace metals via drinking water ingestion pathway for Province of Izmir, Turkey, and arsenic noncarcinogenic risks were higher than the level of concern for 19% of the population, whereas carcinogenic risks are >10(-4) for 46%, and >10 (-6) for 90% ofThe population.

Worldwide Occurrences of Arsenic in Ground Water
TL;DR: Nordstrom et al. as mentioned in this paper argue that human health risks from arsenic in ground water can be minimized by incorporating hydrogeochemical knowledge into water management decisions and by more careful monitoring for arsenic in geologically high-risk areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aluminium as a risk factor in Alzheimer’s disease, with emphasis on drinking water
TL;DR: The combined evidence linking Al and AD warrants substantial research efforts, which should focus on clarification of the cellular and molecular mechanisms in Al toxicity and of the basic metabolism and kinetics of Al in the human body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic Epidemiology and Drinking Water Standards
TL;DR: Smith et al. as discussed by the authors consider how the regulatory process might interpret and respond more effectively to results from epidemiological studies, and propose a framework for interpreting and responding to the results of such studies.

Geochemical and petrological evidence of the subduction of delaminated Adriatic continental lithosphere in the genesis of the Neogene-Quaternary magmatism of central Italy
TL;DR: Serri et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed that the delamination and migration of the Adriatic continental lithosphere related to the di erention of the northern Apenninic arc magmatism can be explained by a geodynamic process which causes a variable amount of phlogopite through reaction between fluids and/or melts with the mantle.

Crustal extension in the northern Apennines: The transition from compression to extension in the Alpi Apuane Core Complex
Luigi Carmignani,Roy Kligfield +1 more
TL;DR: An interpretation of Northern Apennine geology is presented which relates the temporal and spatial occurrence of both compressional and extensional deformation features in terms of the changing dynamic evolution within an accretionary wedge, after a model proposed by Platt [1986], followed by the initiation and development of continental rifting as mentioned in this paper.
