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:

Tempo-Spatial Analysis of Water Quality in the Three Gorges Reservoir, China, after its 175-m Experimental Impoundment
TL;DR: In this article, water quality status and pollution type varied among the mainstream and its tributaries, due to the spatial heterogeneity of geology, geomorphology and anthropogenic activities.

Spatiotemporal variations, sources, water quality and health risk assessment of trace elements in the Fen River.
Ningpan Chai,Xiu Yi,Jun Xiao,Jun Xiao,Ting Liu,Yujie Liu,Li Deng,Zhangdong Jin,Zhangdong Jin +8 more
TL;DR: Health risk assessment showed that As, Ba, Mn, Ni, V, and Se were the potential pollutants damaging in the Fen River, especially for children, which highlights the importance of seasonal sample analysis and can provide vital data for water quality conservation in thefen River basin.

An investigation of coastal vulnerability and internal consistency of local perceptions under climate change risk in the southwest part of Bangladesh.
M.A. Rakib,M.A. Rakib,Jun Sasaki,Sosimohan Pal,Md. Asif Newaz,Md. Bodrud-Doza,Mohammad Amir Hossain Bhuiyan +6 more
TL;DR: The situation exhibits coastal hazards, social vulnerability, and social crisis, and principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis revealed significant interfaces between local perceptions and the socio-and agro-environmental factors changing the overall status of regional hazards.

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.
