Multivariate statistical evaluation of dissolved trace elements and a water quality assessment in the middle reaches of Huaihe River, Anhui, China
TLDR
The results of the water quality index (WQI) indicate that water in the Huaihe River is heavily polluted by trace elements, so approximately 96% of the river water is unsuitable for drinking and a health risk assessment suggests that Co, Cd and Pb in the river could cause non-carcinogenic harm to human health.About:

Source analysis and health risk assessment of heavy metals in agricultural land of multi-mineral mining and smelting area in the Karst region – a case study of Jichangpo Town, Southwest China
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the pollution level of heavy metals in agricultural soil by the geological accumulation index (Igeo) and enrichment factor (EF), and the combination of APCS/MLR and health risk assessment model was adopted to evaluate the risks of heavy metal sources and determine the priority-control source.

Spatial-temporal distribution, source identification, risk assessment and water quality assessment of trace elements in the surface water of typical tributary in Yangtze River delta, China.
TL;DR: In this paper , the spatial-temporal distributions, occurrence, water quality and risk assessment of trace elements were studied in Fengle River in three seasons, and the traceability models results showed that the major sources of trace element were related to different human activities.

Application of factor analysis in the assessment of groundwater quality in a blackfoot disease area in Taiwan
TL;DR: The over-extraction of groundwater is the major cause of groundwater salinization and arsenic pollution in the coastal area of Yun-Lin, Taiwan and this model explains over 77.8% of the total groundwater quality variation.

Assessment of seasonal and polluting effects on the quality of river water by exploratory data analysis
TL;DR: In this article, an ANOVA of the rotated principal components has demonstrated that mineral contents are seasonal and climate dependent, thus pointing to a natural origin for this polluting form and pollution by organic matter and nutrients originates from anthropogenic sources, mainly as municipal wastewater.

Ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in sediment and human health risk assessment of heavy metals in fishes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin
TL;DR: Investigation of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China found that heavy metals may be mainly derived from metal processing, electroplating industries, industrial wastewater, and domestic sewage, and Hg may also originate from coal combustion.
