人们暴露于饮用水和/或煤烟中天然存在的砷浓度升高（地方性砷），在中国的特定地点造成了严重的健康问题。中央或地方政府的决策者需要关于每一个环境健康问题的详细资料，但其格式应适合于规划和管理目的。本文介绍了三个概念性指标集的基础上的压力-状态-影响-响应框架，安排砷地球化学和人类健康问题的政策背景下。中国的数据已被组织成描述性指标，报告过去发生的地方性砷中毒和反应指标，报告目前的行动。许多中国数据被纳入了分为压力、状态、影响和响应参数的两套指标。一个绩效指标集也是先进的长期未来的地方性砷中毒在中国的管理，但许多必要的数据尚未计算，使这些指标被采用。进一步必要的数据收集的进一步指标建设更有效的管理的要求进行了讨论。
Exposure of people to elevated naturally occurring arsenic concentrations (endemic arsenic) in drinking water and/or coal smoke has caused serious health problems at specific sites in China. The decision-makers at central or local government need much detailed information on each environmental-health problem but in a format suitable for planning and management purposes. This paper describes three conceptual indicator sets based on the pressure-state-impact-response framework that arranges the arsenic biogeochemical and human health issues within a policy context. Chinese data have been organised into descriptive indicators that report the past occurrence of endemic arsenism and response indicators that report on current actions. Many Chinese data have been incorporated into the two sets of indicators divided into pressure, state, impact and response parameters. A performance indicator set is also advanced for long-term future management of endemic arsenism in China but much essential data have not yet been calculated to enable these indicators to be adopted. A requirement for further necessary data collection for further indicator construction for more effective management is discussed.
