The researchers studied the health risks of heavy metals in drinking water from the Riruwai mining area in Northern Nigeria. They tested water from different sources and found high levels of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury, lead, and zinc. These metals exceeded safe limits set by health organizations. Children were at higher risk than adults for health issues from these metals. The researchers recommend continuous monitoring of water in the area and taking steps to protect people's health.
