• W4385298868 abstract "This study investigated seasonal variations in microbial contaminations of groundwater and associated health risks in four coastal communities (Essiama, Winneba, Accra, and Keta) in Ghana. Membrane filtration methods, sanitary risk inspection, and quantitative microbial risk assessment were employed, respectively, to (i) quantify bacteriological quality, (ii) identify risks to contamination, and (iii) assess health risks associated with Escherichia coli in groundwater. Results showed 70.00%, 53.33%, 70.37% and 90.00% of groundwater sources in Essiama, Winneba, Accra, and Keta, respectively, were at intermediate risk, whereas 3.33%, 40.00%, 14.81%, and 3.33%, respectively, were at high risk. Very high-risk levels of contamination were recorded only in Accra. The presence of animal wastes within a 10 m radius of groundwater collection point, bad drainage systems, collection of spilt water in apron area, the use of ropes and buckets when fetching groundwater, and absence of aprons and well covers put more than 60.00% of the groundwater points in two or more locations at risk of contaminations. Assessment of bacteriological quality of groundwater indicated that mean total coliforms and E. coli ranged, respectively, between 123.40-501.30 and 30.98-141.90 CFU/100 ml for the communities; the highest microbial counts for dry and wet seasons occurred in Winneba and Keta, respectively. Seasonal variations in E. coli counts in Winneba and Accra were significantly higher in the dry season than in the wet season; Essiama and Keta showed no significant seasonal variations. Exposure to E. coli O157:H7 through drinking groundwater ranged between 5 and 23 cells per day. Although exposure to E. coli O157:H7 through bathing was less than 1 cell per day in all communities, residents were exposed to one E. coli, at least, every 62, 141, 237, and 282 days in Winneba, Accra, Keta, and Essiama, respectively. The risk of infection and illness for all communities was 1 for drinking, whereas that for bathing ranged from 0.57 to 0.98. The estimated Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) exceeded the WHO-acceptable DALY. These findings show that groundwater resources in the selected coastal communities were prone to microbial contaminations, and this may be a setback to Sustainable Development Goals 6. Implications of the findings are discussed." @default.
