Human exposure to:
- Mining contaminants (Sb and Pb) in drinking water.
Geogenic contaminants : Arsenic (As), lithium (Li) & boron (B) in groundwater.
- Community-based mapping of contaminants (drinking water)
- Exposure diagnostics (risk factor assessment) throughout life (genotoxicity and neurotoxicity ).
- Arsenic: simple monitoring test kits with communities to establish risk maps
- Use of natural water (wells) vs. technological water (i.e., filtered to reduce As levels):
– evaluate the investment of communities in water management (maintenance)
– accompany communities towards less restrictive and healthier alternatives.
