Article Synopsis
- - This study assesses heavy metal (HM) contamination in Indian rivers from 1991 to 2021, revealing alarmingly high levels of metals like Fe, Cr, Pb, and As that exceed WHO and Indian safety standards, indicating severe river pollution.
- - Health risk assessments show significant non-carcinogenic effects of these metals in both children and adults, with higher cancer risks tied to metals like Cr, Pb, and Cd, particularly affecting children more than adults.
- - To mitigate these health risks, the study suggests using eco-friendly remediation methods and innovative technologies like bio-sensors in river management initiatives.
