The concentrations of lead, copper, zinc, nickel, and cadium in the artesian well waters of Agua dulce, Linao, Cogon, and Punta in Ormoc City, Leyte, the Philippines, were determined. Water samples were brought to the Visayas State University Analytical laboratory in three replicates from each of the four study sites to assess the presence of dissolved trace metals using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The non-carcinogenic health risk of trace metals was also calculated for children and adults using chronic daily trace metal intake and the hazard quotient index. Lead and cadmium levels were found to be over WHO acceptable limits in all regions investigated. Lead had a hazard quotient larger than one in all study sites for both children and adults, and cadmium had a hazard quotient greater than one in children. The total hazard quotient of trace metals was found to be greater than one in both children and adults at the four study sites. These findings imply a non-carcinogenic health danger to the public, requiring prompt attention and concern on the part of local governments.
