An assessment of As and other elements of other food components should be conducted to understand the actual health hazards caused by ingestion of food in people residing in the middle Gangetic plain.]]> Thu 14 Apr 2022 10:59:04 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29775 80%) samples found above BIS and WHO permissible limit, while 28% samples exceeded the previous WHO drinking water guideline (400 µg/L) for manganese (Mn). In dietary food grains As followed the sequence as rice > wheat > maize. The estimated daily intake by individual of As, Mn, Ni, Cd, Co, Pb, Zn and Cr from drinking water and dietary food grains were 169,14582, 474, 19, 26, 1449, 12955 and 882 µg/ kg. The Health Risk Index (HRI) were >1 for As in drinking water, vegetables and rice indicated the potential health risk to the residents of the study area. However, HRI <1 for wheat and maize indicate a relative absence of health risks associated with their ingestion.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:31 AEDT ]]>
