As the main endemic disease entities prevalent in China, endemic arsenism, fluorosis and Kaschin-Beck disease pose serious threat to people’s health. The distribution and formation mechanism of high arsenic water and high fluorine water in main basin of North China, the characteristics of geological environment in Kaschin-Beck disease area and the research progress of the relationship between each other are summarized in this paper. Then, the research direction is indicated.
