Health Risk Assessment and Statistical Modeling of Toxic Metals in Groundwater of Lahore, Pakistan
Author(s): Iqra Khalid*
The groundwater of Lahore is now in great concern due to heavy metal pollution. That's why; carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic health risk assessment of the consumption of groundwater is currently needed. The objective of this research is to determine the heavy metals concentration in groundwater and to evaluate its potential health risks for the lifetime of exposure for residents using the USEPA model and probabilistic technique (monte carlo simulation). The groundwater samples were collected from selected sampling sites of the study area and analyzed for physicochemical parameters, and heavy metals. Descriptive statistics showed that the mean concentration of Pb (0.77), Cr (1.828), and Ni (0.35) were higher than PEQS standards for drinking water while values of other parameters were within guidelines. The results of descriptive statistics and b.. View more»
