Abstract
Exposure to drinking water is one of the important ways to influence human health. This study calculated the health risk of adults and children for drinking water sources in the Fuyang city. The results showed that the total health risk of adults and children caused by water quality was 6.75 × 10<sup>-5</sup> and 8.15 × 10<sup>-5</sup>, which exceeded the highest acceptable risk of 5.0 × 10<sup>-5</sup> from the International Radiation Committee, but was still lower than the maximum risk level of 1.0 × 10<sup>-4</sup> from US EPA. The health risk of children is 20% higher than that of adults, so we should pay more attention to children for drinking water health issues.
