Integrated assessment of pesticides, inorganic ions, and health risks in drinking water from Missal, a rural agricultural municipality in Southern Brazil
assay, revealing increased mitotic index and chromosomal aberrations at six sampling points. A Hazard Index (HI) greater than 1 was observed at seven points, mainly due to nitrate and parathion, suggesting potential non-carcinogenic health risks. These findings suggest that combined exposure to pesticides and inorganic ions may contribute to non-carcinogenic risk, supporting the relevance of continuous and integrative monitoring.
