Abstract Trihalomethanes (THMs) are generated in the drinking water treatment plant, due to the reaction of the halogenated disinfection compounds with the natural organic matter (NOM). They are related to health problems both from the point of view of cancer development and other important diseases. This study aimed to assess the quality of tap water in Madrid in terms of prevention and control of THMs risks in the supply water treated by Canal de Isabel II (CYII) in a total of 108 samples throughout 2015 to 2020, to distinguish the problems of the different 21 districts or types of buildings, the seasonality and to estimate the risk of exposure to THMs from tap water in the population of Madrid. The variables considered include year, seasonality, district of Madrid and sampling point. The concentrations of THMs detected in all samples were within the current legal limit (100 µg/l). Chloroform was the compound with the highest contribution to the sum of THMs. A decreasing trend in THMs concentrations was observed over the years of the study related to the removal of NOM and the use of chloramines. THM levels were higher in the central area than in the peripheral districts and the lowest concentrations were detected in summer. Regarding risk assessment, the results of the non-carcinogenic risk indicate that there is no potential risk from tap water consumption for the adult population. For the carcinogenic risk, only water samples with THM concentrations between 50 and 75 µg/l could constitute a risk for high consumers.

Abstract Previous studies have shown that arsenic and cadmium can accumulate in rice grain to levels that cause health concerns. Furthermore, geographical survey has shown that there is considerable variation (~ 100-fold) in accumulation of these carcinogens in rice grain. This variance must be due to heterogeneity in soil biogeochemistry and contrasting rice management regimens. Here we present the first systematic global study to investigate the impact of soil biogeochemistry on accumulation of these elements in rice grain. Matched grain, shoot, root and soil samples were collected across a latitudinal gradient from East Africa to Europe and soil, shoot, grain chemistry and soil microbial community (prokaryotes and fungi) assessed within the context of arsenic and cadmium biogeochemistry. European and Vietnamese grain sum of arsenic species (inorganic arsenic plus dimethylarsonic acid) concentration medians, ~ 0.1 mg/kg, were found to be around ten-fold higher compared to those in East Africa and Sri Lanka. Arsenic concentrations were linked to higher levels of soil arsenic, and to higher abundance of soil sulphur-oxidising and sulphate reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea. For cadmium, Sri Lanka showed highest (median 0.0156 mg/kg) and Europe lowest (median of 0.001 mg/kg) levels in grain, with the other regions showing intermediate values. Interestingly, grain cadmium was unrelated to soil cadmium concentrations, with Europe having the highest levels of cadmium in soil. Instead, grain cadmium correlated with higher oxidation/reduction potential, lower -log[hydrogen ion], lower soil calcium, and to a higher abundance of aerobic bacteria and fungi (lowest abundance of these organisms in European soils).

Abstract Arsenic (As) in soils harms soil organisms and plants, and it can enter the human food chain via the dietary consumption of crops. The mobility, bioavailability and toxicity of As are determined by its concentration and speciation. A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of soil microbial disturbance and maize plants on arsenic concentration and speciation in soil (pore) water and soils. Three soil treatments with varying microbial disturbance were designed for this experiment: native soil, sterilized soil and sterilized soil reconditioned with soil indigenous microbes. The three soil treatments were intersected with three levels of As in soils (0, 100 and 200 mg kg −1 spiked As). Ten pots of each treatment were planted with maize, while three pots were filled with soil without maize. The difference between native and reconditioned soil indicated the abiotic sterilization effect (artifact of the sterilization process), while the difference between sterilized and reconditioned soil showed the microbial disturbance effect. Both effects increased As release into soil water. The microbial disturbance effect was more pronounced for organic As species, showing the influence of soil microbes involved in As methylation. The abiotic sterilization effect was more evident in unplanted pots than planted pots and the microbial disturbance effect was observed only in unplanted pots, suggesting that both effects were mitigated by the presence of maize.
