The increase of Cr+6 in well water results from pollution by electroplating waste water. The average content of Cr+6 in water of the wells in the polluted area is as high as 1.68 mumols/L, obviously higher than that in the control area (P less than 0.05). The health condition of inhabitants is poor in the polluted area, with a higher incidence of such symptoms as dizziness, weariness, poor appetite, abdominal pain and dermatitis. The blood pressure of the inhabitants in the polluted area is generally lower than that of those in the control area. The chromium content in the urine of 36 cases in the polluted area is 0.12 mumols/L, which is much higher than that in the control area (P less than 0.05). This investigation indicates that long-term drinking of high-chromium content water is harmful to people's health.
井水铬（Ⅵ）含量升高是由电镀废水污染所致。污染区井水铬（Ⅵ）平均含量高达1.68微摩尔/升，明显高于对照区（P<0.05）。污染区居民健康状况较差，头晕、乏力、食欲不振、腹痛及皮炎等症状发生率较高。污染区居民血压普遍低于对照区。污染区36例居民尿铬含量为0.12微摩尔/升，远高于对照区（P<0.05）。本次调查表明，长期饮用高铬含量的水对人体健康有害。
