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.

Water quality assessment in the rivers along the water conveyance system of the Middle Route of the South to North Water Transfer Project (China) using multivariate statistical techniques and receptor modeling
Siyue Li,Jia Li,Quanfa Zhang +2 more
TL;DR: The results revealed that river waters were primarily polluted by COD(Mn), BOD, NH(4)(+)-N, TN, TP, and Cd with remarkably spatio-temporal variability, and there were increasing industrial effluents in rivers northward.

A study of trace element contamination using multivariate statistical techniques and health risk assessment in groundwater of Chhaprola Industrial Area, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India
TL;DR: Investigation on spatio-chemical, contamination sources, and health risk assessment arising from the consumption of groundwater contaminated with trace and toxic elements in the Chhaprola Industrial Area, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India indicated natural and anthropogenic activities like industrial effluent and agricultural runoff are responsible for the degrading of groundwater quality.

Arsenic in Chinese coals: distribution, modes of occurrence, and environmental effects.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a synthesis on the abundance, distribution, modes of occurrence, and environmental impacts of Pb in Chinese coals using the expected coal reserves as the weighting factor and based on the previously published Pb content in 4,304 coal samples (including results obtained in their laboratory) from main coalfields or coal mines in China, the weighted mean Pb contents in Chinese coal is 13.0

Geochemistry of dissolved trace elements and heavy metals in the Dan River Drainage (China) : distribution, sources, and water quality assessment
TL;DR: Water in the Dan River drainage was suitable for drinking; however, an exposure risk assessment model suggests that As and Sb in the Laojun and Laoguan rivers could pose a high risk to humans in terms of adverse health and potential non-carcinogenic effects.
