摘要

At a village where an outbreak of suspected arseniasis occurred in Cambodia, we investigated the contamination of groundwater, rainwater and river water with heavy metals and fecal indicator bacteria. We also evaluated health risks due to the contaminated water and verified the risks by analyzing hair and blood samples collected from villagers. As the result, arsenic was detected from all tube (deep) wells at concentrations higher than the WHO guideline value. Manganese and lead were also detected frequently in the groundwater at concentration higher than the guideline values as well. While health risk caused by manganese was negligible, the arsenic contamination of groundwater brought considerable health risks to villagers. Actually the arsenic concentration in hair samples of 96.3 % of villagers exceeded the criteria for skin pathology. As for fecal contamination, although Escherichia coli was sometimes detected from groundwater from tube wells, its concentration was lower than those in groundwater from dug (shallow) wells, rainwater and river water. This indicates that the risk of diarrhea at this village probably has been reduced since the construction of tube wells. However the drastic reduction was not found in seroprevalences against Helicobactor pylori and adenovirus among young children as risk indicators of diarrhea.
