黄土高原的现代强烈侵蚀作用,不仅使黄土高原的水土大量流失,地形遭到严重破坏,而且还导致了一些地方病(克山病、大骨节病)的迅速蔓延,给当地人民带来了痛苦。本人曾有幸参加地方病考察队到黄土高原区进行考察。发现上述两种地方病的病情轻重与当地现代侵蚀作用强度密切相关。现将有关考察资料整理出来,供有关方面研究参考。 The modern and vigorous erosion on the Loess Plateau has not only caused a large loss of water and soil and severe terrain in the Loess Plateau, but has also led to the rapid spread of endemic diseases (K Keshan disease and Kashin-Beck disease), causing pain to the local people. I had the honor to participate in the endemic disease expedition to the Loess Plateau area inspection. It is found that the severity of these endemic diseases is closely related to the strength of the local modern erosion. Investigate the relevant information now sorted out for reference by the parties concerned.
