Health risk assessment in an area of dental fluorosis disease from high fluoride drinking water: a case study from southeastern Türkiye.

This study focuses on identifying fluoride (F) concentrations and its health risk assessment (HRA) in drinking water sources in south-eastern Türkiye. Groundwater quality was assessed using some graphical approaches such as Schoeller and Piper diagrams and GIS mapping. Average daily exposure dosages through oral and dermal contact exposure routes were considered to determine the potential health risk of F in groundwater.

Bottled water quality assessment through entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI) and pollution index of groundwater (PIG): a case study in a fast-growing metropolitan area in Türkiye.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the quality of water collected during wet and dry seasons of Şanlıurfa and to expand and improve understanding of the pollution status and drinking quality of bottled water used for drinking purposes. To do so, an entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI) and a groundwater pollution index (PIG) were used to evaluate data on physicochemical parameters related to drinking water quality standards. The parameters related to bottled water quality were evaluated with Piper and Ternary diagrams.

Novel machine learning techniques based hybrid models (LR-KNN-ANN and SVM) in prediction of dental fluorosis in groundwater.

Studies have shown that excessive intake of fluoride into human body from drinking water may cause fluorosis adversely affects teeth and bones. Fluoride in water is mostly of geological origin and the amounts depend highly on many factors such as availability and solubility of fluoride minerals as well as hydrogeological and geochemical conditions. Chemical methods usually accomplish fluoride analysis in drinking water.

Landfill siting for municipal solid waste using remote sensing and geographic information system integrated analytic hierarchy process and simple additive weighting methods from the point of view of a fast-growing metropolitan area in GAP area of Turkey.

The site selection process for municipal solid wastes (MSW) plays an important role in environmental impact studies by allowing the use of environmental design criteria in city and country planning. This process also includes the subject of urban planning due to its impact on the economy, ecology, and environmental health of the region. Urban growth is a phenomenon that is difficult to stop or limit in line with environmental, social, and economic changes and development.

Investigating energy costs for a wastewater treatment plant in a meat processing industry regarding water-energy nexus.

This study aims to identify the role of design and operational parameters in energy costs for a wastewater treatment plant in a meat processing industry regarding water-energy nexus. In the study, the energy cost index has been calculated using a derived numerical approach. This study recommends a new comprehensive methodology for energy cost estimation for an industrial wastewater treatment plant.
