ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the health risk of drinking water in rural areas of Jinhua and to provide evidence for water sanitary management in rural areas. @*Methods@#Totally 2 032 samples of drinking water in rural areas of Jinhua were collected from 2016 to 2018. According to GB/T 5750-2006 Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water,five chemical carcinogens（As,Cd,Cr6+,CHCl3 and CCl4）and twelve non-carcinogenic chemicals（Pb,Hg,Se、CN-、F-、NO3-、Al、Fe、Mn、Cu、Zn and NH3-N）were detected. The health risk assessment in rural drinking water was conducted by United States Environmental Protection Agency（USEPA）model. @*Results@#The total health risk,total carcinogenic risk and total non-carcinogenic risk of rural drinking water caused by the seventeen chemicals were 34.8×10-6/a,34.80×10-6/a and 6.65×10-9/a,respectively. The carcinogenic risk of five chemical carcinogens accounted for 99.98% of the total health risk,and the carcinogenic risk of Cr6+ accounted for 89.95% of the total health risk. The total health risk of the fully processed,partially processed and unprocessed water samples were 31.68×10-6/a,34.78×10-6/a and 34.77×10-6/a,respectively. The total health risk of finished water and peripheral water were 34.79×10-6/a and 34.82×10-6/a.@*Conclusion@#The health risk of drinking water in rural areas of Jinhuacaused by chemicals is low. The hexavalent chromium has the highest health risk and need more attention to be paid on.
ABSTRACT
Objective @#To investigate the characteristics and the chronic health risks of metals in fine particulate matter（PM2.5） of Wucheng District,Jinhua .@*Methods@#The PM2.5 samples were collected in Wucheng District of Jinhua from the year 2015 to 2017.Chromium(Cr), manganese (Mn),nickel(Ni),arsenic(As),selenium(Se),cadmium(Cd),antimony(Sb),lead(Pb),beryllium(Be),aluminum(Al),thallium（Tl）and mercury（Hg） were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry（ICP-MS）. The health risks of the metals were assessed based on the standard method recommended by United States Environmental Protection Agency .@*Results@#From 2015 to 2017,the average concentration of PM2.5 in Wucheng District was（53.42±26.95）μg/m3,and the average concentration of PM2.5 in each season and each year were significantly different（P<0.05）. The median（interquartile range）concentration of metal elements in PM2.5 was 136.66（117.14）ng/m3,with higher concentration of Al,Pb,Mn,Cd and Se. From 2016 to 2017,the average concentration of Cd exceeded the reference limit（5.00 ng/m3）. The median （interquartile range） concentration of metal elements in PM2.5 in winter was 175.12（132.45）ng/m3,the highest,and in summer was 92.55（52.81）ng/m3,the lowest. The total hazard quotient（HQ）of nine kinds of metal elements in PM2.5 was 2.90;the HQ of As,Be,Ni,Se,Hg,Al,Mn and Sb were all less than 1,except Cd. The total carcinogenic risk of five kinds of metal elements in PM2.5 was more than 10-6,among which the carcinogenic risk of As and Cd were more than 10-6,and the carcinogenic risk of Be,Pb and Ni were less than 10-6 .@*Conclusion@#The concentrations of Al,Pb,Mn,Cd and Se in PM2.5 of Wucheng District were higher and the concentration of Cd exceeded the reference limit. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk of Cd were both higher,the carcinogenic risk of As was also higher.
