Non-carcinogenic risks were evaluated using the hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI). Children faced a cumulative risk with HQ > 0.2 for As and Cr and HI > 1. The carcinogenic risk was measured using the carcinogenic risk factor (CRF), which fell below 10-6, indicating low cancer risk. However, children had a higher cancer risk (10-4 to 10-6) for As. The pollution indices revealed varying pollution levels from unpolluted to moderately polluted in the studied areas.

Both male and female smokers showed correlations with diabetes according to cotinine-verified smoking status (OR: 1.22 and 1.48, respectively).
