The study's main aim was to improve the understanding of the transfer dynamics of PTEs from soil to Primary Agricultural Products (PAPs). Unlike what has been done in several former studies, bioavailable fractions, instead of total concentrations, were used to assess transfer factors (TFs) of PTEs from soil toward PAPs. Further, the variability of some soil physicochemical characteristics such as organic matter (OM), grain size (GS), cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, salinity and electrical conductivity (EC) was considered, and their potential influence on the elements' transfer process was evaluated. Statistical analyses, including boxplots, Schoeller diagrams, Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA), and Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA), were employed to explore the data. On average, results showed that TF Zn >  > TF Cu > TF Cd > TF Co > TF Hg > TF Pb > TF Ni > TF V > TF Se >  > TF Tl, with a shared trend for all species despite differences in TF magnitudes observed. In our case, the RPCA allowed the identification of three principal components accounting for 91% of the total variance, and the MRA revealed significant influences of clay content, CEC, and OM on TFs variability, particularly for Zn and Co. The use of the bioavailable fraction of PTEs in the soil to calculate transfer factors provided new insight into the mobility along the food chain of elements, unveiling the general \"propensity\" of some elements to migrate to the biological compartment (e.g., Zn) and the marked resistance of others to be transfered (e.g., Tl).

The present research conducted a probabilistic human health risk assessment to address the exposure and dose-response data uncertainties while evaluating the mitigation impact of a simple, low-cost ceramic filter (LCCF) made of clay soil and rice bran. Water quality monitoring in three villages of Bagerhat District, Bangladesh, found arsenic, manganese, and iron levels exceeding the regulatory standards of 50 µg/L, 50 µg/L, and 300 µg/L. Dual-unit LCCF achieved up to 92% arsenic, 89% manganese, and 99% iron removals for initial concentrations of 545 µg/L, 0.57 mg/L, and 7.18 mg/L. With 91.7% arsenic removal, the probability of hazard quotient (HQ) > 1 reduced from 0.9 to 0.69 for children and to 0.78 for adults in Village 1 with the most polluted (initial concentration of 545 µg/L) groundwater. In the least contaminated (initial concentration of 175 µg/L) Village 2, the probability of HQ > 1 reduced from 0.82 to 0.51 for children and 0.85 to 0.60 for adults. The LCCF minimized the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) probability, exceeding the estimated standard of 6E-4 for 10 µg/L, from 0.97 to 0.82 for Village 1 and 0.54 for Village 2. Single-unit LCCF for arsenic < 250 µg/L and double-unit LCCF for higher levels reduced cancer and noncancer risks lower than the HQs and ILCRs corresponding to BSTL for all exposure groups, supporting the application of LCCF at the household level in rural Bangladesh.</p>","PeriodicalId":11759,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Geochemistry and Health","volume":"47 7","pages":"256"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144247044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
