Abstract There have been many reported cases of a strange disease exhibiting clinical features of limb gangrene, blisters, ulceration and exfoliation in Daping village, Yunnan Province in southwestern China. The prevalence rate of the disease is very high compared to other places in Yunnan Province and greater China. The pathogenesis is unknown and has bewildered doctors for many years. In this study, the content of As in soil (n=31) , water (n=55) , and plants (n=7) were systematically measured. The results show a high As concentration in plants and soil samples from the area, and the source of As linked to the weathering of black shale strata. We assessed the risks of human exposure to As through six possible exposure pathways. Ingestion of soil and plants are found to be the two main ways that children and adults are exposed to As, and children have a higher health risk than adults. Our study sheds new light on the environmental geochemistry and health links of this disease.
