Correlation between water pollution and the incidence of common cancers ⸺ Wuyingshan community as an example

Abstract
The reasons for the significant decrease in cancer incidence in the past decade among residents of Wuyingshan Community, Tianqiao District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, where the author lives, are certainly comprehensive and multifaceted. Due to time and energy constraints, this paper takes the perspective of the creation of a National Sanitary City in Jinan and the widespread use of tap water purification equipment by residents in the Wuyingshan Community, and uses the sample sampling method and comparative research method to indirectly prove the relationship between water pollution and the incidence of common cancers among residents in the Wuyingshan Community by investigating the effects of the quality of residents’ drinking water on residents’ tumors. The results of the study show that there is a positive correlation between water pollution and the incidence of common cancers, and that the creation of the National Sanitary City and its continuous management of water pollution effectively reduce the incidence of common cancers in the community, and that the residents contribute to the further purification of tap water; on the other hand, residents who do not pay attention to the quality of drinking water are prone to the occurrence of common cancers. In order to sustainably reduce the level of urban water pollution and maintain drinking water quality that meets internationally accepted health standards, this paper makes several recommendations from the dimensions of water quality legislation, production and living needs, water quality monitoring, and sewage treatment.
