Human health risk assessment of nitrate in private well waters of shallow quaternary alluvial aquifer

Excessive nitrate intake via ingestion pathway and dermal absorption exposures has adverse health impacts on human health. This study evalu- ated groundwater (GW) nitrate concentrations and health risks which focused on ingestion and dermal exposures to residents in Bachok District, Kelantan, Malays...
