These substances, such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury, accumulate in biological systems, leading to chronic and acute health conditions. The review focuses on investigating the health risks, pathways of exposure, and the associated regulatory frameworks. A review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Two main databases (PubMed and Toxline) and a search engine (Google Scholar) were searched in September 2024, and 23 articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. The quality of all the articles that met the inclusion criteria was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. The review examined exposure pathways in different settings (natural, industrial, and occupational), health outcomes, mechanisms of toxicity, and vulnerable populations. The synthesis highlights the current gaps in regulatory frameworks and identifies areas for future research. Exposure to metals and metalloids occurs through contaminated water, soil, and air in natural settings, and through industrial activities and occupational hazards in sectors like manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. Adverse health outcomes include neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, renal dysfunction, and cancers. Vulnerable populations, such as children, pregnant women, and workers in high-risk industries, face elevated risks, with socioeconomic factors and inadequate regulatory protections exacerbating these health disparities. To mitigate the public health risks posed by metal and metalloid exposure, a multifaceted approach is necessary. This includes enhanced environmental monitoring, public awareness campaigns, stricter occupational safety regulations, and international cooperation in pollution control. Future research should prioritize understanding the synergistic effects of metal mixtures and developing innovative strategies for detection and intervention. Safeguarding public health and promoting environmental justice requires urgent action to address the multifaceted impacts of metal exposures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Observations were made based on laboratory and field studies consisting of multiple open burning practices, PM capture, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis. Moreover, the potential health risks in terms of respiratory deposition dose (RDD), carcinogenic risk (CR), and non-carcinogenic risks were determined.

It was found that the highest CR from the ingestion pathway was caused by arsenic (As) from textile burning (1.41 × 10<sup>–6</sup>), and that caused by chromium (Cr) through the inhalation pathway from backyard waste burning (7.43 × 10<sup>–9</sup>). However, the CR values for both the pathways were below the acceptable threshold. In addition, the hazard index (HI), for both adults and children were less than 1 for all metal concentrations in all types of waste burning.

Long-term watershed-scale monitoring is essential for assessing progress toward water-quality goals, yet it has historically been lacking in urban watersheds. Since 2007, Fairfax County, Virginia, has partnered with the US Geological Survey to monitor and evaluate water-quality conditions in 20 small urban streams. This study assessed nutrient and suspended sediment loads, trends in concentration, and trends in load. Trends in load are affected by streamflow-induced variability that must be removed through a process called “flow-normalization;” however, existing methods have neither been applied to small urban watersheds nor to loads computed on a sub-daily timestep. In this study, four such methods also were assessed, and an adaptation of the weighted regressions on time, discharge, and season approach was found to be most effective. Loads, concentrations, and trends in load were spatially and temporally variable. Differences were attributed to physical watershed features such as geology, soils, and channel geomorphology, as well as urban sources such as turfgrass fertilization and septic infrastructure. Most notably, flow-normalized suspended sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus loads decreased in two watersheds with completed stream restorations and increased in those with few implemented practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10661-025-13917-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
