Shanyin Safe Drinking Water Pilot Project

Summary

General Site Introduction
Shanyin County, which lies in the middle north sector of China, is typical area in rates of fluorosis and arsenicosis. In most areas of Shanyin, the population exploits ground water for subsistence. However, most of the current ground water supply is contaminated with fluoride and arsenic. This have already led to widespread of chronic, endemic diseases, principally fluorosis and arsenicosis.

It is reported that fluorosis is prevalent in 90 villages within Shanyin spreading over 500 square kilometers, while arsenicosis is prevalent in 42 villages, with a total population of 26,000 spread over 380 square kilometers.
