Abstract

Abstract

The text describes an analysis conducted on hydrogeochemical survey data in a typical mining area in Hunan Province, China. By utilizing the Health Risk Assessment (HRA) mechanism, the study evaluated the health risks for males and females associated with different exposure pathways. The main assessment indicators included the carcinogenic substance arsenic (As), as well as non-carcinogenic chemically toxic substances cobalt(Co), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), selenium (Se), and barium (Ba), with antimony (Sb) identified as a potential carcinogenic substance. The research findings indicated that heavy metal content in the groundwater of the mining area poses certain health risks to the human body. Notably, the health risks for females were found to be greater than those for males. The maximum and minimum values of health risk for females were 1.69 and 6.37E-03, respectively, while for males, they were 4.36E-2 and 1.75E-03, respectively. Among the studied elements, antimony (Sb) posed the highest non-carcinogenic health risk to humans, while cobalt (Co) posed the lowest. The average carcinogenic risk for both males and females caused by arsenic (As) was 1.73E-02 and 1.80E-02, respectively, exceeding the acceptable range by 10 times. Moreover, only six water samples for both males and females were within the maximum acceptable lifetime risk level. In conclusion, the hydrogeochemical indicators in the research area pose a significantly high health risk to humans, with antimony and arsenic being the most severe pollutants.
