Arsenic, manganese, and iron concentration in groundwater of northwestern part of Bangladesh using self-organizing maps: Implication for health risk assessment by Obaida Urme, AHM Selim Reza, Md Ibrahim Adham, Golam Sabbir Sattar

“…Health risk assessment demonstrated that higher health hazard (HQ) values in 57 % of the samples exceeded the threshold value for adults through the oral route, which implied the potential non-carcinogenic health risk, while 63 % of the samples for cancer risk (CR) was higher than the allowable limit indicating the considerable cancer risk zone for the residents of the area. This analysis provides information to the planners for formulating effective groundwater resources management and minimizing health sustainably.…”

Ecological Waves at Tourist Attractions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Promote Greenness of Surrounding Vegetation by Zitao Yang, Li Tian

“…The unique tourism resources of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have created conditions for the development of ecotourism, while the existence of attractions may also have positive and negative impacts on the surrounding environment. This study defines the radiation waves that generate ecological effects as “ecological waves”, quantifies the ecological waves of attractions by buffer zone analysis of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) within 20 km of 38 4A and 5A attractions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in 2020, and elaborately explores the ecological effects of attractions on the surrounding environment. …”
