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:

Spatial distribution, ecological and health risk assessment of heavy metals in marine surface sediments and coastal seawaters of fringing coral reefs of the Persian Gulf, Iran
Ali Ranjbar Jafarabadi,Alireza Riyahi Bakhtiyari,Amirhossein Shadmehri Toosi,Catherine Jadot +3 more
TL;DR: The results reflected that the level of heavy metals, especially Hg and Cd, are on rise due to emerging oil exploration, industrial development, and oil refineries along the entire Gulf.

Assessment of stream quality and health risk in a subtropical Turkey river system: A combined approach using statistical analysis and water quality index
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of agricultural activities and domestic pollution on water quality in the Turnasuyu Basin was evaluated using standard methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), Pearson correlation index (PCI), and clustering analysis (CA).

Felaniaina Rakotondrabe,Felaniaina Rakotondrabe,Jules Remy Ndam Ngoupayou,Zakari Mfonka,Eddy Harilala Rasolomanana,Alexis Jacob Nyangono Abolo,Andrew Ako Ako +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the surface water from Mari catchment and Lom River was unsuitable for human consumption, and the high concentrations of TSS and trace elements found in this basin were mainly due to gold mining activities (exploration and exploitation) as well as digging of rivers beds, excavation and gold amalgamation.

Evaluation of the Hazard Quotient Method for Risk Assessment of Selenium
TL;DR: In this article, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends a hazard quotient (HQ) method (waterborne concentration divided by the national water quality criterion) to assess the toxic threat of individual waterborne elements, including selenium.
