Human health risk assessment of exposure to cadmium, lead and chromium through consumption of well and bottled water in Lusaka district, Zambia.
Water is an essential product for human survival, which all age groups consume and access to safe drinking water is essential to health. Safe drinking water implies that the water does not represent any significant risk to health over a lifetime of consumption, including different sensitivities …

Concentrations and In Vitro Bioaccessibility of Metals in Soils at Urban Green Spaces in Toronto, Ontario
… of in vitro bioaccessibility data in the human health risk assessment indicated a generally low risk associated with soil ingestion in the examined urban green spaces. The analysis revealed that 7 out of the 75 sampled sites exceeded the CCME guidelines for Ni, Cr, or Pb underscoring the …

Assessing the environmental risks associated with contaminated sites
A risk assessment strategy considering the impact of chemicals on the whole ecosystem has been developed in order to create a sound and useful method for quantifying and comparing global risks posed by the main different hazardous chemicals found in the environment. This index, called the …

Investigation of how oral bioaccessibility of potentially toxic elements in urban soils is affected by contaminant source and sampling techniques
… the necessary evidence to effectively assess the risks posed to people from exposure to soil contaminants.<br/><br/>The human health risk assessment often relies on total PTEs concentrations and assumes that contaminants are 100% bioavailable to humans. This assumption sometimes may overestimate …
