Water Pollution Indexing and Health Risk Assessment

Wallender Krepsk

Advanced codes are taking the place of conventional human health risk assessment (HHRA) methods at the moment. The HERisk code and the water pollution index (WPI) were used in this study to characterize the HHRA and water quality of Umunya, a Nigerian suburb. By employing the novel HERisk code, which evaluates health risk for nine human populations, this study stands out from previous HHRAs conducted in the region. The objective of this study was to give a thorough report that will edify occupants and policymakers on the potential dermal and oral dangers related with the utilization of metal-debased water assets, for different age sections, in the locale. The usual procedures were followed. The WPI revealed that 66.7% of the water resources were unfit for human consumption in terms of measured physicochemical parameters. In light of the HERisk code, possibly poisonous components (PTEs) expanded disease takes a chance in the accompanying request: Pb > Ni > Cr. The water’s total non-carcinogenic risks were found to be moderate.
