  • Spatial Distribution of Endemic Fluorosis Caused by Drinking Water in a High-Fluorine Area in Ningxia, China
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-020-08451-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Spatial distribution of endemic fluorosis caused by drinking water in a high-fluorine area in Ningxia, China Mingji Li1 & Xiangning Qu2 & Hong Miao1 & Shengjin Wen1 & Zhaoyang Hua1 & Zhenghu Ma2 & Zhirun He2 Received: 29 November 2019 /Accepted: 16 March 2020 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Endemic fluorosis is widespread in China, especially in the arid and semi-arid areas of northwest China, where endemic fluorosis caused by consumption of drinking water high in fluorine content is very common. We analyzed data on endemic fluorosis collected in Ningxia, a typical high-fluorine area in the north of China. Fluorosis cases were identified in 539 villages in 1981, in 4449 villages in 2010, and in 3269 villages in 2017. These were located in 19 administrative counties. In 2017, a total of 1.07 million individuals suffered from fluorosis in Ningxia, with more children suffering from dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis. Among Qingshuihe River basin disease areas, the high incidence of endemic fluorosis is in Yuanzhou District and Xiji County of Guyuan City. The paper holds that the genesis of the high incidence of endemic fluorosis in Qingshui River basin is mainly caused by chemical weathering, evaporation and concentration, and dissolution of fluorine-containing rocks around the basin, which is also closely related to the semi-arid geographical region background, basin structure, groundwater chemical character- istics, and climatic conditions of the basin. The process of mutual recharge and transformation between Qingshui River and shallow groundwater in the basin is intense.

  • Differential Analysis of the Efficiency of Fixed Assets Investment in The
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 375 2nd International Symposium on Social Science and Management Innovation (SSMI 2019) Differential Analysis of the Efficiency of Fixed Assets Investment in the Primary Industry in Ningxia Province Zilie Muheyat International Business School, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710119, China. [email protected] Abstract. This paper selects data from 18 counties in Ningxia province from 2003 to 2017, and uses the incremental capital-output ratio to measure the efficiency of fixed asset investment in the primary industry. Then we analyze the differences between poor and non-poor counties from the time and cross-section. The results show that from 2003 to 2017, the efficiency of fixed asset investment in the primary industry in Ningxia was significantly different between poor and non-poor counties, and poor counties was lower than non-poor counties. Therefore, there is great potential for improving the efficiency of fixed asset investment in the primary industries of poor counties. Keywords: Fixed Asset Investment in the Primary Industry; Investment Efficiency; ICOR. 1. Introduction Increasing the income of the primary industry and improving the efficiency of the primary industry are important measures to increase the comprehensive production capacity of the primary industry and maintain the coordinated and stable development of the primary industry. And it is the main driving force for the economic growth of the primary industry. The input of the primary industry includes capital, labor, technology, and management level. The investment of the primary industry includes fixed asset investment, and fixed asset investment is important material basis to change the production conditions of the primary industry, improve the comprehensive production capacity, and achieve stable development of the primary industry.

As one of the major water sources in Ningxia of China, it is of great importance to maintain healthy ecological environment of the Yellow River. In this essay, basin hydrological model is adopted to simulate the influences of prediction of climate changes on runoff in river basin, which is of great theoretical and realistic significance to flood and draught control plans as well as long-term exploitation and utilization of water resources in Ningxia Section of Yellow River Basin of China. Based on analysis of the changing characteristics of major climates and hydrological features in Ningxia Section of Yellow River Basin of China , distributed hydrological model SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) coupled with GIS is used in this study to simulate the yearly and monthly runoff volumes under 15 different climate changes, with the aim to explore the influences of climate changes to runoff.
