Abstract:
Objective To understand the implementation effects of control measures and the dynamic prevalence of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in Shandong Province.Methods From 2013 to 2017 in Shandong Province drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas,in accordance with the method of simple random sampling,10 monitored counties were selected,10 water fluorine decreasing projects were investigated of its running effect,and water fluoride was detected.In each monitored county,3 villages in the diseased areas were selected as fixed monitored villages.If the monitored village had changed its water,the operation of the project would be investigated.If the monitored village had not changed the water,one water sample would be collected according to 5 directions of east,west,south,north and middle to determine the water fluorine.All children aged from 8 to 12 in the village were also examined for dental fluorosis.X-ray fluorosis and urinary fluorosis in adults aged over 25 were detected in 2013 and 2017.Results From 2013 to 2017,in monitored counties,the normal operation rate of improved-water defluoridation projects was 99.19％ (368/371),the qualified rate of water fluoride content was 66.85％ (248/371).In 128 improved water projects,the normal operation rate was 100.00％ (128/128),the qualified rate of water fluoride content was 67.19％ (86/128).The average detection rate of dental fluorosis and community fluorosis index (CFI) in children aged 8-12 were 33.92％ (2 608/7 689) and 0.68 in all monitored counties from 2013 to 2017.The detection rate presented a declining trend year by year (x2 =152.47 P ＜ 0.01).The average detection rate and CFI in the villages with normal operation projects and qualified fluoride content were 26.10％ (1 311/5 023) and 0.47.The detection rate presented a declining trend year by year (x2 =207.67 P ＜ 0.01).The detection rate and CFI in the villages with water improvement projects under abnormal operation or excessive fluoride were 48.65％ (1 297/2 666) and 0.90.The detection rate of dental fluorosis in the villages with normal operation projects and qualified fluoride content was lower than the rate of the villages with water improvement projects under abnormal operation or excessive fluoride (x2 =193.98,P ＜ 0.01).In 2013 and 2017,X-ray detection rates of skeletal fluorosis in adults aged over 25 were 8.04％ (119/1 481) and 6.04％ (81/1 342),respectively.The adult urinary fluoride geometric mean values (1.24,1.49 mg/L) were lower than the normal limit of 1.6 mg/L both in qualified villages of water ffuoride content and exceeding-standard villages in 2017.Conclusions In Shandong Province,the effective water improvement has acquired some effects in control of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis.But the water fluoride content of improved water defluoridation projects exceeds the national standard seriously and fluorosis has not been effectively controlled.
