Results: Fluoride contents ranged from 1.00 to 4.91 mg/L in county, averaging 1.61 mg/L. Arsenic contents exceeded the international standard of 0.01 mg/L, averaging in the range of 0.01 - 1.07 mg/L. 16 samples had an arsenic content higher than the Chinese standard of 0.05 mg/L, their average was 0.304 mg/L. Conclusions: Water-related fluoride and arsenic is prevailing in Qinghai Province. Prevention and control needs to be reinforced.
