Abstract
Samples of drinking water collected from high incidence and low incidence d istricts of gastric carcinoma were analyzed using PIXE. The results showed that the concentrations of elements Ti, V, Fe, Cu and Sr in the samples fro m high incidence districts were significantly higher than those from low in cidence districts, while the element As in the samples from low incidence d istricts was higher than that from the high incidence districts.
