摘要

To eliminate the epidemic of coal-burning-borne endemic arsenism (CBBA), our study organized and implemented comprehensive measures including high-arsenic coal ban, improved cook-stoves, and health education. We also aimed to promote the application value of these measures in preventing and controlling CBBA to the world. From 2004 to 2005, through a stratified random sampling method, we selected 58,256 individuals to investigate the prevalence of CBBA and the arsenic levels in 1287 environmental and biological specimens. The prevalence of CBBA was 19.26 % and significantly associated with the arsenic levels in coal, pepper, corn and hair, which were at or exceeded national upper limits. To timely prevent and control the disease, the comprehensive measures have been implemented since 2005 to present. Comparison and correlation analyses were utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures in reducing the prevalence of CBBA. According to statistics, 73 high-arsenic coal mines were banned and over 99 % households in endemic areas accepted stove improvements and diversified health education. Monitoring studies during 2010-2019 has confirmed that these measures led to a decrease in urine arsenic levels among endemic residents, and they developed novel dietary practices, such as properly drying, storage, and washing of food. Additionally, the awareness rate of CBBA increased from less than 70 % to over 95 %. Finally, the prevalence of CBBA has decreased to 0.153 % investigated by a census involving 2.076 million endemic residents in 2019. In summary, CBBA in northwest China has been successfully controlled through banning on high-arsenic coal, introducing improved cook-stoves, and providing health education.
