  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 The correlation between the incidence of ozena and the character of the water with which the region may he supplied is studied. In water analysis particular attention was paid to its contents such as pH value, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chlorine, sulphate and other soluble ions, EDTA hardness, alkalinity, total phosphorus, nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, chemical oxygen demand and biochemical oxygen demand.

 Among these water contents, sulphate ion concentration appeared to show a significant correlation to the incidence of ozena (r=+0.47, p<0.01). Analysis of the river water of the region showed a striking resemblance of the analysis already made of the drinking water.

 The main problem with which this sort of ecological study may be confronted is to determine whether the correlation that may be found between the sulphate ion concentration and the incidence of ozena is likely the cause and effect, or whether it merely reflects some other factors. However, much more work will be necessary before this question could be answered properly.
