Abstract:
Objective:To understand the disinfection status and microbial pollution of water supply project in rural schools in Shaanxi Province in 2018, and to provide basis for improving drinking water quality in rural schools.
Methods:Data of water quality of water supply project in rural schools of Shaanxi Province in 2018 was collected, and the disinfectant surplus and microbial index compliance rate were analyzed according to "Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water" (GB 5749-2006).
Results:The overall compliance rate of microbial indicators of water supply projects in rural schools in Shaanxi Province was 68.09%, and that of groundwater microbial indicators(71.97%) was higher than that of surface water(61.42%)(χ2=15.68, P<0.01); The overall compliance rate of microbial indicators in flood season(71.85%) was higher than that in dry season(64.34%)(χ2=7.44, P<0.01); The rate of reaching the standard of disinfectant residue was 77.27%. The rate of reaching the standard of microbial index of water samples with disinfection measures was higher than that of water samples without disinfection measures (χ2=31.88, P<0.01), The rate of reaching the standard of microbial index of water samples with disinfectant residue(88.89%) was higher than that of water samples with disinfectant residue(44.44%)(χ2=12.28, P<0. 01).
Conclusion:The main cause of microbial contamination of drinking water in rural schools in Shaanxi Province is inadequate equipment of disinfection equipment in water supply projects or not being used as required. It is suggested that schools, education and health departments should take measures to strengthen supervision and management of water plants to ensure the normal use of disinfection equipment.
