Abstract

Arsenic concentrations from 20 450 domestic wells in the U.S. were used to develop a logistic regression model of the probability of having arsenic >10 μg/L ("high arsenic"), which is presented at the county, state, and national scales. Variables representing geologic sources, geochemical, hydrologic, and physical features were among the significant predictors of high arsenic. For U.S. Census blocks, the mean probability of arsenic >10 μg/L was multiplied by the population using domestic wells to estimate the potential high-arsenic domestic-well population. Approximately 44.1 M people in the U.S. use water from domestic wells. The population in the conterminous U.S. using water from domestic wells with predicted arsenic concentration >10 μg/L is 2.1 M people (95% CI is 1.5 to 2.9 M). Although areas of the U.S. were underrepresented with arsenic data, predictive variables available in national data sets were used to estimate high arsenic in unsampled areas. Additionally, by predicting to all of the conterminous U.S., we identify areas of high and low potential exposure in areas of limited arsenic data. These areas may be viewed as potential areas to investigate further or to compare to more detailed local information. Linking predictive modeling to private well use information nationally, despite the uncertainty, is beneficial for broad screening of the population at risk from elevated arsenic in drinking water from private wells.

摘要

美国 20450 口国内水井的砷浓度被用于开发一个逻辑回归模型,以预测砷含量>10μg/L(“高砷”)的概率,该模型在县、州和国家层面呈现。代表地质来源、地球化学、水文和物理特征的变量是高砷的重要预测因子。对于美国的人口普查区块,将砷含量>10μg/L 的概率平均值乘以使用国内水井的人口,以估计潜在的高砷国内水井人口。美国约有 4410 万人使用水井水。在美国使用预测砷浓度>10μg/L 的国内水井的人口为 210 万人(95%置信区间为 150 万至 290 万人)。尽管美国的一些地区砷数据代表性不足,但可用的全国性数据集的预测变量被用于估计未采样地区的高砷含量。此外,通过对整个美国大陆的预测,我们确定了砷数据有限地区高潜在暴露和低潜在暴露的区域。这些地区可能被视为需要进一步调查或与更详细的当地信息进行比较的潜在区域。尽管存在不确定性,但将预测模型与全国范围内的私人水井使用信息联系起来,对于从私人水井饮用水中升高的砷对人口进行广泛筛查是有益的。
