Abstract

Qilian Mountain is an essential ecological security barricade in China, but the research on water quality investigation and health and safety evaluation of Qilian Mountain is currently blank. In this essay, the environment health of the water were assessed using the Nemero index technique and the health risk assessment method. The findings revealed that the reservoir's overall water quality in the national park was satisfactory, and the Nemerow index was between 2.142 and 3.548. Chromium (Cr), which accounted for more than 78% of the health risk value of chemical carcinogens, was the primary contributor to the carcinogenic risk. Ammonia nitrogen, fluorine, and mercury account for the majority of the health effects of non-carcinogenic substances, representing 60.01%~79.10% of the non-carcinogenic risk value. Chemical carcinogens were primarily responsible for the overall health risks. Afterward, on the basis of strict control of pollutant discharge standards, the government should focus on rehabilitating mines to ensure that heavy metal levels in the water were kept low. Research on the health hazards and quality of the water environment in Qilian Mountain National Park can help management and conservation of the water environment in this region.
