Abstract
This study evaluates heavy metal contamination in mosquito breeding habitats, examining its actual environmental as well as public health implications. Through sampling and analysis of biosamples from numerous land use types—town, peri-urban, and rural—the examiner quantified the concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cr, Hg, and As, identifying enormous pollution hotspots. Contamination Factor (CF) evaluation found that Pb and Cd exhibited great infection ranges, in a large component attributed to business emissions, vehicular pollution, and agricultural runoff. Pollution Load Index (PLI) checks showed that metropolis internet websites exhibited the most immoderate pollutants, determined through peri-metropolis and rural areas, indicating various stages of anthropogenic effect. They have a observe in addition employed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to determine the number one belongings of infection, with PC1 (45. 3%) strongly associated with enterprise pollutants, PC2 (25.8%) linked to agricultural sports, and PC3 (11. 5%) triggered by using natural sedimentation and herbal count number. The PCA biplot determined a strong correlation between heavy steel contamination and mosquito population density, demonstrating that mosquito larvae thrived in polluted environments with immoderate metallic concentrations. The correlation coefficient evaluation strengthened the findings, displaying massive relationships amongst Pb, Cd, and mosquito abundance, suggesting that heavy metals may additionally have an impact on vector ecology. These outcomes emphasize that mosquito populations could function as bio-signs and symptoms of heavy metal pollution, imparting a value-effective environmental monitoring approach. The check underscores the pressing need for integrated pollution and vector control techniques, including improved wastewater control, business pollution guidelines, and sustainable urban planning to mitigate contamination dangers and reduce vector-borne sickness transmission. Additionally, the ecotoxicological outcomes of heavy metal accumulation in mosquito populations require similar research to decide capacity implications for disorder dynamics. Future research must show the popularity of prolonged-time ecological assessments, the role of bioremediation strategies in reducing heavy metal concentrations, and the effectiveness of public fitness interventions in minimizing mosquito-borne ailment risks. The findings spotlight the interconnectedness of environmental pollutants, vector ecology, and public health, reinforcing the significance of complete environmental manipulation techniques to shield every ecosystem and human well-being.
