Abstract

Drinking water, as one of the main components of the habitat, determines human health and quality of life. In the past few decades, almost all water sources, both surface and underground, have been subject to intensive anthropogenic and technogenic impact. Lake Gusinoye, which is the main source of drinking water supply to adjacent settlements, is experiencing significant anthropogenic pressure. Based on the results of hydrochemical studies, the toxic effect of heavy metals on the population health, resulting from the consumption of drinking water of the centralised water supply from Gusinoye Lake, was considered. The results of a quantitative assessment of public health hazards showed that the risk of non-carcinogenic (toxic) effects is high in the territory of the Gusinoozersk industrial hub.
