Concentrations of Mn,Cu,Zn,As,Cd,Hg,Pb in drinking water from three districts( South District,North District and New District) of Baoding City were measured based on a total of 56 random samples. Health risk of the seven metals in drinking water was assessed using USEPA health risk assessment model. The results showed that the concentrations of the heavy metals ranged from 5. 31 to 13. 7 μg·L- 1for Mn,3. 24 to 7. 46 μg·L- 1for Cu,96. 3 to 107 μg·L- 1for Zn,0. 72 to 0. 78 μg·L- 1for As,0. 03 to 0. 05 μg·L- 1for Cd,1. 69 to 1. 79 μg·L- 1for Hg,0. 26 to 1. 16 μg·L- 1 for Pb. Among the health risk caused by the carcinogens in drinking water,the highest risk associated with As is in North District( 5. 3 × 10- 6a- 1) and that with Cd is in New District( 1. 4 × 10- 7a- 1),but both were significantly lower than the maximum allowance levels recommended by ICRP( 5. 0 × 10- 5a- 1). Among the non-carcinogenic risks in drinking water,the highest risk was associated with Zn,followed by Hg. The non-carcinogenic risks levels ranged from 10- 6to 10- 8, much lower than the maximum allowance levels recommended by ICRP. The results also indicated that the age of water pipe has little impacts on the concentrations of the heavy metals in drinking water.
