Wang et al. - "Survey of Iodine Deficiency Disorders and fluorosis in children living in the Cherchen River Basin" Endemic Diseases Bulletin (01) (1996)

车尔臣河（又称且末河）发源于昆仑山脉的阿尔金山中，流经新疆且未境内，是该县农业生产及居民生活主要水源。１９９３年１１月对该河流域水源及儿童ＩＤＤ和氟斑釉病情调查表明，该流域水源碘含量偏低，氟含量不高。儿童甲状腺肿大率平均在５０％以上，而儿童氟斑牙率不高。碘盐普及率在城镇可达３０％左右，而农村则几乎为零。环境严重缺碘与防治措施不力使ＩＤＤ病情严重，提示今后要加强ＩＤＤ防治工作。此外几个地下水源的含氟量升高提示我们今后在选择地下饮用水时要警惕含氟量高引起的危害。

The Cherchen River (also known as the Qiemo River) originates from the Altun Mountains in the Kunlun Mountains and flows through Qiemo County in Xinjiang. It is the main water source for agricultural production and residents' lives in the county. A survey of the water sources in the river basin and the IDD and fluorosis of children in November 1993 showed that the iodine content of the water sources in the basin was low and the fluoride content was not high. The average rate of goiter in children was over 50%, while the rate of fluorosis in children was not high. The prevalence of iodized salt in urban areas can reach about 30%, while it is almost zero in rural areas. The serious iodine deficiency in the environment and the ineffective prevention and control measures have made the IDD disease serious, suggesting that IDD prevention and control work should be strengthened in the future. In addition, the increased fluoride content in several groundwater sources suggests that we should be vigilant about the harm caused by high fluoride content when choosing underground drinking water in the future.
