Objective:
To assess the health risk associated with drinking water in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2017,and to provide evidence for the safety of drinking water .
Methods:
The monitoring data of 5 genetic toxic substances(arsenic,hexavalent chromium,cadmium,chloroform,tetrachloromethane)and 13 body toxic substances(lead,mercury,selenium,cyanide,fluoride,nitrate,iron,ammonia nitrogen,manganese,copper,zinc,aluminum,volatile phenol)from 36 source water samples,36 finished water samples and 288 tap water samples in the main urban areas of Hangzhou were collected from 2016 to 2017. The health risk of drinking water containing the chemical pollutants mentioned above were assessed based on the evaluation models recommended by United States Environmental Protection Agency .
Results:
The concentrations of 5 genetic toxic substances and 13 body toxic substances in source water,finished water and tap water were all within the reference limits issued by Standards for Drinking Water Quality(GB 5749—2006). The carcinogenic risk,non-carcinogenic risk and total health risk caused by the chemical pollutants in the source water were 2.18×10-5/a,7.75×10-9/a and 2.18×10-5/a. The carcinogenic risk,non-carcinogenic risk and the total health risk caused by the chemical pollutants in the finished water were 1.08×10-5/a,3.70×10-9/a and 1.08×10-5/a. The carcinogenic risk,non-carcinogenic risk and total health risk caused by the chemical pollutants in the tap water were 1.96×10-5/a,3.61×10-9/a and 1.96×10-5/a. The carcinogenic risk and total health risk caused by chemical pollutants ranged from high to low in the source water,tap water and finished water. The non-carcinogenic risks ranged from high to low in the source water,finished water and tap water .
Conclusion
The health risks of 18 chemical pollutants in drinking water in Hangzhou were at a low level,with the greater carcinogenic risk than the non-carcinogenic risk. Hexavalent chromium had the highest carcinogenic risk,while fluoride and aluminum had the highest non-carcinogenic risk.

The construction of standard system is an important part of standardization work, and also the top-level design of standardization work.Taking the group standards of the China Association of Chinese Medicine as a reference, and following the steps of establishing an expert group, literature research, Delphi method expert consultation and expert meeting, it was clarified that the content of the standard system for clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques of gastroenterology in traditional Chinese medicine, including terms (symptoms and signs, syndromes and syndrome components, and therapeutic principles and methods), guidelines and standards (traditional Chinese medicine disease name, western medicine disease name, and classical syndromes), effectiveness evaluation (modern medicine evaluation, traditional Chinese medicine characteristics of diseases, symptoms and signs grading, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome evaluation), and practical techniques. Meanwhile, the structure chart of the standard system, the table of standard details and the table of statistical standards were compiled to lay the foundation for the standardisation of clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques of gastroenterology, and to provide reference for the construction of the standard system of various disciplines.
