Potentially toxic element contents in agricultural soils were assessed by comparison with levels recorded in the literature and evaluated using Index of Geoaccumulation (Igeo). The model recommended by United States Environment Protection Agency is applied for the health risk assessment from different exposure pathways. The median values of cobalt (Co), …
The proposition of Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSAS 18001:1999) was used to define hazards, and the risk levels associated with the most frequent hazardous events were measured using a Semi-Quantitative Risk Assessment Matrix.
Our risk assessment indicated that the percentage of health hazards at the "very high" risk level was higher when compared to the safety and environmental hazards. Overall, the mean values of 13.6, 12.4, and 18.5% of the assessed chemicals were classified in "moderate" to "very high" categories of health, safety, and environmental ...
Comparing Pb and Cr concentrations in the groundwater with the drinking water standards, only 14.25% of the total grids are found to be under 0.05 mg/L of Pb, and over 96.5% of the total grids are in the safety range of Cr. It indicates that Pb leaching from fly ash monolithic landfills may cause serious health risks.
The occupational health hazard assessment used evaluations of international agencies as a starting-point. For each health hazard a short summary of these evaluations is provided, supplemented with new scientific evidence, if available. ... ATSDR summarized all human studies in which renal effects associated with occupational Cr(VI) exposure ...
The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is conducting a cross-sectional survey of equipment sound levels and worker noise exposures in the stone/aggregate mining ...
2.3. Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals. Target hazard quotients (THQs) and target cancer risk (TR) were used to evaluate human health risks from metal-contaminated seafood consumption. 2.3.1. Non-Carcinogenic Risk. The non-carcinogenic health risk of each heavy metal was assessed using the target hazard quotient (THQ).
The semi-quantitative risk level of exposure to crystalline silica in stone carvers with a hazard rate of 4 was estimated using the table in (Appendix S1), based on the toxicity of the …

A stone-crushing site-based cross-sectional study was carried out to ascertain the attribute of occupational injuries and health, determine the predominant work-related hazards, and then …
Regression analysis revealed the significant effect of Ni content in feed on the Cu deposition of pangas (p-value 0.027, that was < 0.05). For the assessment of potential human health risk of the studied metals, estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), hazard index (HI), and carcinogenic risk (CR) indices were calculated.
The ecosystem and water quality of Terme River, an essential drinking and irrigation water source in the region, are at risk due to anthropogenic pressures. Therefore, the present study aim to present a comprehensive overview of the water quality state and pollution sources of the river. Some physicochemical water quality parameters were analyzed by standard …
A systematic assessment of the human health risks associated with continuous exposure to waste mica with TEs is a requirement for populations exposed to toxic metals through groundwater and mine-contaminated soils (Weissmannová and Pavlovský, 2017).According to Streets et al.
