Regional variations in water physicochemical properties and residual chlorine concentrations and incidence of cancer in Serbia
Individuals are exposed to local water sources through routine activities in their place of residence. Serbia consists of 26 districts with a population of approximately 6.8 million inhabitants. Individuals in different districts are exposed to varying physicochemical water quality. Irregularities in physicochemical water properties may be linked to malignant diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association between the percentage of water which does not meet the standards for both physicochemical properties and residual chlorine, and standardized incidence of most common malignancies in Serbia. In 2013, 18.9 % of 76,758 water samples in Serbia were non-compliant (0 % in Kolubara, 97.4 % in Middle Banat), and in 2021, 16.5 % of 93,144 samples failed standards (0.9 % in Macva, 97.8 % in North Banat). A significant positive correlation was observed between the percentage of unsatisfactory physicochemical water samples from public water supply systems and water facilities and the standardized incidence of colon and rectal cancer in males and females, any cancer type in both sexes, and ovarian cancer in females. However, no significant correlation was observed for leukemia and pancreatic in males, brain tumors or lung cancer in both sexes. Bladder cancer in males was associated with exposure to residual chlorine which surpass recommended concentrations. Study findings suggest that exposure to water that does not meet adequate physicochemical standards may be associated with an increased risk of various cancer types, while residual chlorine above recommended standards seems associated with increased incidence of bladder cancer.
期刊介绍:
Groundwater for Sustainable Development is directed to different stakeholders and professionals, including government and non-governmental organizations, international funding agencies, universities, public water institutions, public health and other public/private sector professionals, and other relevant institutions. It is aimed at professionals, academics and students in the fields of disciplines such as: groundwater and its connection to surface hydrology and environment, soil sciences, engineering, ecology, microbiology, atmospheric sciences, analytical chemistry, hydro-engineering, water technology, environmental ethics, economics, public health, policy, as well as social sciences, legal disciplines, or any other area connected with water issues. The objectives of this journal are to facilitate: • The improvement of effective and sustainable management of water resources across the globe. • The improvement of human access to groundwater resources in adequate quantity and good quality. • The meeting of the increasing demand for drinking and irrigation water needed for food security to contribute to a social and economically sound human development. • The creation of a global inter- and multidisciplinary platform and forum to improve our understanding of groundwater resources and to advocate their effective and sustainable management and protection against contamination. • Interdisciplinary information exchange and to stimulate scientific research in the fields of groundwater related sciences and social and health sciences required to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals for sustainable development.
