天然水往往含有不同浓度的砷,一般来说其含量不大,故很少危及居民健康。近数十年来,一些国家和地区相继发现一些因饮高砷水所致的慢性砷中毒。1980年,我们证实了新疆奎屯垦区存在慢性水源性砷中毒,改水后取得了一定的防治效果。为查明该地区砷对居民健康危害规律,我们对饮水含砷量及其砷中毒关系进行了研究。 Natural water often contains different concentrations of arsenic, in general, its content is not large, so few endanger the health of residents. In recent decades, some countries and regions have found some chronic arsenic poisoning caused by drinking high arsenic water. In 1980, we confirmed that there was chronic water-borne arsenic poisoning in Kuitun reclamation area in Xinjiang, and achieved some control effect after water diversion. In order to find out the law of health hazard of arsenic to residents in this area, we studied the relationship between arsenic content in drinking water and arsenic poisoning.
