• At present, the EPA cannot confidently estimate the risk for people with lithium exposures from drinking water between 10 µg/L and the much higher concentration equivalent to a therapeutic dose from lithium compounds.
Lithium in drinking water and suicide risk - PMC - PubMed …
Recent reports are indicating an inverse association between lithium in drinking water and suicide mortality (Liaugaudaite et al., 2022; Izsak et al., 2022). These reports basically adopted environmental monitoring data of lithium exposure and cause-specific mortality risk …
Global navigation of Lithium in water bodies and emerging
2023年4月14日 · Global Li accumulation in water bodies is mapped, and the consequences on human health of a wide range (<0.06–>20 mg L −1) of Li concentrations in drinking water are explored. The implications...
Lithium in Drinking Water and Incidence of Suicide: A Nationwide ...
Lithium occurs naturally in drinking water worldwide in much lower doses, but with large geographical variation. Several studies conducted at an aggregate level have suggested an association between lithium in drinking water and a reduced risk of suicide; however, a causal relation is uncertain.
Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water …
Naturally occurring lithium in drinking water may have the potential to reduce the risk of suicide and may possibly help in mood stabilisation, particularly in populations with relatively high suicide rates and geographical areas with a greater range of lithium concentration in the drinking water.
USGS-led study estimates lithium in groundwater that can be …
2024年6月5日 · Ongoing research by health organizations has linked the low-level occurrence of natural lithium in drinking water to positive human-health outcomes such as reduced suicide mortality and other mental-health benefits in addition to potential negative outcomes such as autism and thyroid hormone levels. There are limited data, however, on where and ...
Lithium Pollution and Its Associated Health Risks in the Largest ...
2024年6月1日 · Our results revealed the dominant role of Li extraction activities in the pollution of the river, with over 95% of dissolved Li in downstream river water being emitted from this source. Moreover, the Li concentration in aquatic plants (i.e., water hyacinth) and animals (i.e., fish) significantly increased from upstream to downstream areas ...
Lithium occurrence in drinking water sources of the United States
Lithium is listed in the fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) because insufficient exposure data exists for lithium (Li) in drinking water. To help fill this data gap, Lithium occurrence in source waters across the United States ...
Lithium occurrence in drinking water sources of the United States
2022年10月1日 · 56% of groundwater and 13% of surface samples collected from DWTP source waters had lithium above the HBSL (10 µg/L). Sodium can serve as an indicator to identify water sources at higher risk for elevated lithium. Lithium was not removed by conventional drinking water treatment processes.
Trace lithium levels in drinking water and risk of dementia: a ...
2024年8月30日 · Recent studies on trace-Li levels in the water suggest that Li, could slow cognitive decline and prevent dementia with long-term use even at very low doses. The current review aims to synthesize the data on the topic and challenge the …
