摘要

The environmental iatrology and environmental geology of Shennongjia's capital—Songbo town is studied in the paper because the people's incidence of lithiasis is increasing comparing with Muyu town. Epidemiology survey such as the state of the illness and the habit of the inhabitant had been taken by the way of providing questionnaire and inquiring personally. Almost 2,000 people which is 10 percent of the total people had been inquired. On the environmental geology, the source, chemical composition and radioactivity (including soil) of drinking water (river water, spring water and tap water) was investigated. 17 water samples had been sampled and analyzed (17 samples for major ions and hydro chemical properties, 10 samples for minor element). The result indicates that the environmental geology has no indirect relation to the lithiasis, while the habit have remarkable influence on the lithiasis such as who like meat, get up later and have high incoming.
