摘要：

To investigate the environmental quality and human health risks of different types of groundwater at Xiangshui, Chongzuo, several regular water quality indexes and concentrations of metals in 60 groundwater samples were measured and analyzed. The environmental quality of groundwater was analyzed by means of the Nemerow index. The health risks were assessed by using a human health risk assessment model. The regular water quality indexes and concentrations of metals of the well water, spring water, and underground river water exceeded the standards to different degrees. The environmental quality of groundwater was at a poor grade. The comprehensive evaluation score of underground river water (F=4.26) was the lowest. The well water had the same score as spring water (F=7.10). The high hardness and salinity were conducive to enrichment of Cr, and the reducing environment was of great advantage for the enrichment of As. The environmental geochemistry of Zn, Pb, Cd, and Cu was similar. The sources of Fe, Al, and Mn were similar. The results of the health risk assessment indicated that the health risks of well water, spring water, and underground river water were relatively high. The health risks decreased in the order of well water>underground river water>spring water. The health risks mainly came from the carcinogenic metallic element Cr. Carcinogenic risks were 4-6 orders of magnitude higher than non-carcinogenic risks. Carcinogenic risks were higher than the maximum allowance levels (5.0×10-5 a-1). Non-carcinogenic risks were lower than the allowance levels (10-6 a-1). Children had greater health risks than adults. The health risks of metals through the drinking pathway were 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than the values caused by the dermal contact pathway. For the sake of drinking water safety, the well water, underground river water, and spring water should be properly treated and the concentration of Cr in groundwater should be controlled before drinking. © 2019, Science Press.
