A survey of 37 communities supplied by stream water and receiving iodised salt for the last 10-20 years indicates that the presence of sedimentary rocks in the watersheds of streams more closely correlates with goiter prevalence than 12 other possible causative variables. These results support the hypothesis that sedimentary rocks rich in organic matter are the main source of water-borne goitrogens.
一项对37个社区的调查显示，在过去10至20年中，这些社区由溪水供应且食用加碘盐，结果表明，溪流流域中沉积岩的存在与甲状腺肿患病率的相关性，比其他12个可能的致病变量更为密切。这些结果支持了以下假设：富含有机物的沉积岩是水中致甲状腺肿物质的主要来源。
